Van Nuys Prostitution Defense Attorney
Sex Crimes Lawyer in California
Prostitution is best defined as the act of exchanging money for sexual acts. Both the person performing or offering sexual acts for money and the person paying money or offering money for sexual acts may be charged with a criminal offense. Additionally, a person who recruits customers for a prostitute may face criminal charges.
At the Law Offices of Jonathan C. Rosen we represent defendants in a variety of prostitution-related offenses, including:
- Solicitation
- Pandering
- Prostitution
- Loitering
If you or someone you know has been arrested for or charged with prostitution or a related offense, it is important that you consult a Van Nuys criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Your rights are on the line, as well as your freedom, your reputation and your future. A first prostitution or solicitation of prostitution offense may only be a misdemeanor, where the term of imprisonment may be up to 12 months in county jail. Even a first pandering/pimping offense, however, will be a felony – meaning a minimum term of imprisonment in state prison of 1 year.
Defending Van Nuys Prostitution Charges
You cannot take a chance with your future if you’ve been accused of prostitution. A lawyer may be able to prove that there is not enough physical evidence to convict you of this offense, may be able to prove that law enforcement violated your rights in some way by coercing you, who had no predisposition to commit this type of offense, into being charged with solicitation or prostitution.
By reviewing your particular case and discussing your concerns and goals with you, Van Nuys prostitution lawyer Jonathan C. Rosen can build a tailor-made defense strategy that will positively affect the outcome of your case and help you face lessened charges or penalties – or possibly dropped charges or an acquittal.
