California Prostitution Defense AttorneysAs defined by the California Penal Code section 647 b, prostitution is any lewd act performed between persons for money or other compensation. Unlike offenses such as rape, the laws regarding prostitution are found throughout the penal code. Thus, several sections of the code may be involved in a given charge of prostitution. The California prostitution lawyers of Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP understand the complexities that can arise in a prostitution case and we are fully qualified to safeguard our clients’ rights with a knowledgeable legal defense. PLEASE CALL US - WE CAN HELP YOU 1-866-790-5252Laws on Prostitution - Defending California Prostitution and Solicitation CasesAn arrest for prostitution or solicitation can have a devastating effect. When someone is charged with prostitution or solicitation, family relationships suffer and you can even lose your job. You need experienced prostitution and solicitation defense attorneys on your side. Often, clients are charged with solicitation to commit prostitution or loitering to commit prostitution — misdemeanor offenses. The legal definition of prostitution is extremely broad and ripe with opportunities for law enforcement officials to make an arrest. Here are some examples of the behavior that can result in a charge of loitering to commit prostitution:
Even the possession of legal items, that are most often associated with working prostitutes or their customers, is also taken into consideration by the prosecution in a prostitution arrest. Examples include personal lubricant, multiple cell phones or other communication devices, large sums of cash, sex toys, address books and condoms. Each of these items may seem relatively innocuous. However, possession of several of these items can be an important part of the case against those accused of prostitution. The California prostitution defense lawyers of Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP leverage our years of experience as former district attorneys, and for the last twenty years, as prostitution defense attorneys to attack the circumstantial evidence to get the charges reduced or even dismissed! Occasionally, prostitution charges are the result of a police sting operation. A sting operation places undercover officers in the position of either soliciting sexual favors for money or offering sexual favors for pay and they make a prostitution arrest. In general this is not considered entrapment. However, the California prostitution attorneys of Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP have a solid background as former prosecutors, which enable the law partners to identify and exploit potential weak spots in prostitution cases based on faulty police sting operations.
