Arrested For Solicitation Or Prostitution in Los Angeles?

In Los Angeles, California, Sex crimes such as prostitution, pandering or pimping, and solicitation are taken very seriously. These can be filed as either misdemeanors or felonies. Prostitution is the act of receiving payment, whether it’s money or anything else of value, in exchange for a sexual act, which may include sexual intercourse.

On the other hand, pimping refers to the solicitation of acts of prostitution or pandering on behalf of someone else. This could involve enticing someone to engage in sexual activity with another person in exchange for money or other forms of compensation. Engaging in any of these activities is considered a criminal offense in California and can result in serious legal consequences such as damaging one’s career, reputation, and even lead to imprisonment and hefty fines.

However, the experienced Los Angeles County prostitution lawyer at the Tabibnia Law Firm can provide effective legal solutions to help their clients overcome these stigmatic charges. Their legal expertise can help clients move forward with their lives without the burden of having a sex crime permanently recorded on their criminal record.

What is Considered Prostitution in Los Angeles, California?

Prostitution is considered a sex offense in Los Angeles, California, and individuals can face criminal charges for soliciting or engaging in it. The state of California defines prostitution as the act of having sexual intercourse or engaging in sexual acts with another person in exchange for compensation, which may include non-cash payments. Thus, any exchange of value for sexual activity can lead to prostitution charges under California law.
Under California law, individuals can face prostitution charges if they engage in, agree to engage in, or solicit someone else to engage in prostitution. This includes:

Engaging in sexual activity in exchange for compensation
Agreeing to exchange sexual activity for compensation
Soliciting someone else to exchange sexual activity for compensation

Prostitution charges can apply to anyone involved in the exchange, including:

The person receiving compensation for sex
The person paying for sexual activity

Penalties for Prostitution in Los Angeles, California

If convicted of PC 647(b) for solicitation or prostitution in Los Angeles, the penalties you face depend on whether you have prior convictions. While a first offense does not carry mandatory jail time, PC 647(b) is a priorable offense, meaning repeat offenders will face mandatory jail time. PC 647(b) is also not considered a sex offender registrable offense under PC 290. The following penalties apply to a first-time conviction:

Up to 1 year in LA County Jail
Up to $1,000 fine
Up to 3 years of summary or unsupervised probation
Community labor/service

45 days with one prior conviction
90 days with two or more prior convictions

Consequences of Prostitution Charges in Los Angeles

Prostitution charges can have serious consequences beyond just criminal penalties. Your reputation can be irreparably damaged with a sex crime on your record, impacting your personal relationships, career prospects, and community standing. Even if the criminal penalties may not be severe, your record will always carry this stigma, and future background checks will reveal the charges. Each prostitution charge is unique and requires a customized approach to legal solutions. At our law firm, our experienced criminal lawyer has a successful track record of defending clients against solicitation and prostitution charges, allowing us to act swiftly and obtain the best possible outcome for each individual case.

Best Defenses Against a Prostitution Charge in Los Angeles

In prostitution cases, the defense strategy will depend on the specific circumstances of the charge. Generally, there are a few defenses that are often successful:

Lack of Trustworthy Evidence: If there is no record of an agreement to exchange goods, services, or money for sex, the case against you may be weak. The prosecution must prove that you accepted compensation for sex, and without reliable evidence, our prostitution defense lawyer in Los Angeles could potentially get the case dismissed.
Insufficient Evidence: Even if the prosecution has evidence of the agreement, it may not be strong enough to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the evidence is inconclusive, we can fight the case on your behalf.
Entrapment: If undercover officers cross the line and induce you to commit the offense, you could potentially win the case outright. Entrapment is a strong defense that can result in all charges being dropped.
Honest Mistake: In many cases, the evidence against you may be hazy, and you may not have intended to trade sex or perform a “lewd act” for compensation. For example, if you responded to an online ad, went out with a wealthy individual, or an undercover officer made a vague offer, it may have been an honest mistake. This defense can be powerful in many prostitution cases.

Type of Evidence Can Be Used Against Me in A Prostitution Case

In the state of California, engaging in prostitution can result in legal action against both the client and the sex worker involved. If found guilty, severe consequences such as substantial fines and potential imprisonment may be imposed. Offenses related to prostitution, such as pandering, pimping, or lewd conduct, can also lead to similar penalties. In such cases, it is crucial to seek the guidance of a skilled criminal defense attorney. The use of evidence obtained from sources like mobile phones, advertisements in newspapers, and the internet can be used against the defendants in court. At Tabibnia Firm, our Los Angeles prostitution attorney has a deep understanding of how prostitution laws function, and our experience allows us to apply these laws effectively to vigorously defend our clients.

Several years ago, I was contending with a serious legal issue. Out of the blue, I became aware that a corporation had obtained a large civil money judgment against me, in court, and on a case I was not aware of. When I became apprised of the judgment and the company's efforts to enforce the debt against me, I became angry and concerned. How would this case and judgment affect my financial future? Was there any way to fix this? I approached several other attorneys for assistance, but they all said the same thing: that because the judgment was over a year old (almost 2 years old, actually) it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to remove the judgment and to re-open the case. Given what other attorneys had told me about my case, I was not hopeful. But I decided to turn to and hire the Tabibnia Law Firm because I was aware of their strong reputation in both civil law matters and criminal defense cases. Mr. Tabibnia went out of his way to fight for me. To my great surprise, he convinced the court to set aside the judgment against me and to re-open the case. And months after getting the case re-opened, I was astonished when he then got the case completely dismissed! So, I went from having a large money judgment against me to getting the judgment removed and case dismissed in a matter of months. Throughout the process, I found Mr. Tabibnia to be honest, aggressive, competent and extremely fair with his fees. Most importantly, he kept me informed throughout the case. I cannot recommend the Tabibnia Law Firm highly enough.

I am here, writing on the behalf of Mr. Cyrus Tabibnia. From the very first moment we formally introduced ourselves to one another, I felt nothing but sincerity and authenticity from this man. At that very moment I knew, that this was the person ideal to represent me and to do diligence. In which in fact he did do so. He was able to significantly get my DUI and Car Theft charges reduced from felonies to misdemeanors and with one case, completely dismissed. I was not only impressed and satisfied completely, but I was not suprised one bit with the outcome. I highly suggest this gentlemen if you are in deed seeking counsel from someone who legitimately cares, and who will go the extra mile and above and beyond for you.
