Understanding Prostitution Charges

Arrests for prostitution most commonly focus on sting operations, a ring of prostitution such as massage parlors, dancers, or personal escorts, internet-based prostitution websites, dating websites, Craig’s list, or other online classified sections of newspapers (personal ads).

Law enforcement’s goal is to make numerous arrests of both the accused prostitute and accused “John(s)” therefore a comprehensive criminal defense is necessary. It is common for the police to demand a written statement after an arrest claiming it is just “your version of events” the best legal strategy is to never provide any statement to and law enforcement.

In New York State there are complex prostitution laws but they can be broken down into the following categories:

• Prostitution in general: Sexual conduct with another in exchange for a fee.
• Prostitution in a school zone
• Patronizing a Prostitute: “John” Arrests
• Promoting Prostitution: Pimping
• Compelling Prostitution: Forcing another under the age of 16 to engage in prostitution
• Sex Trafficking
• Permitting Prostitution: Allowing your home or property to be used for prostitution purposes

Since these laws vary in range from a misdemeanor to a felony, they can carry with them significant penalties including possible State prison time. It is very important to have an experienced criminal defense attorney knowledgeable about the prostitution laws of New York State at every stage of your case.
