Missouri police consistently conduct prostitution investigations and stings. Unfortunately, innocent people can easily be wrongfully implicated in such operations. Even the accusation of prostitution is enough to ruin your reputation and standing in the community, and a conviction can lead to high fines and jail time. For these reasons, it is important to protect your rights and fight back when you have been arrested for solicitation or prostitution.
If you have been charged with prostitution, contact me, the Independence lawyer at The Patel Law Firm, LLC. I am not here to judge you; I am here to reduce or eliminate the charges against you.
Kansas City Solicitation Defense Lawyer
Under Missouri law, anyone who profits from the act of prostitution by receiving money or property from a sexual act can be charged with prostitution. Charges related to prostitution include:
- Drug crimes in conjunction with prostitution
- Solicitation of clients for prostitution, in public or private
- Public lewdness
- Inducement of a minor to have sex or engage in prostitution
- Procuring a person or location for the purpose of engaging in prostitution
- Keeping a "house of ill-repute" and living off of or sharing the profits earned from prostitution
I am an experienced criminal defense lawyer and I will thoroughly investigate the evidence gathered against you that supports these charges, actively seeking information to discredit the evidence and searching for evidence to support acquittal or reduction of the charges against you. We strive to protect your rights throughout the entire process, from the pre-arrest stage until sentencing.
