Los Angeles Prostitution Defense Attorney

Prostitution & Solicitation Criminal Offenses

Prostitution, exchanging sex or sexual activity for money, is illegal in California. If you are convicted of this offense, you may face time in jail, fines, probation, community service and possible registration as a sex offender. Second, third and subsequent offenses carry enhanced penalties.
