Dallas Prostitution Defense Attorney

Lawyer Representing Defendants Charged with Prostitution

Prostitution is a crime that is committed when a person offers sexual intercourse or sex acts in exchange for monetary compensation.  In some countries and states, prostitution is legal.  However, in the state of Texas, prostitution is illegal and people who pay for sex acts or who perform sex acts for money can be charged with a serious sexual offense.  In most cases, prostitution offenses are categorized as misdemeanors.  Related prostitution offenses include pandering, solicitation and loitering.

Often times, people are charged with prostitution after police go undercover or after police perform “sting operations”.  During these secret operations, male officers may act as if they desire to purchase sex acts for a prostitute and female officers may act as prostitutes to catch people who are trying to purchase sex.  In either scenario, when a person is caught, he/she will be placed under arrest and be charged with prostitution by law enforcement. If convicted, people stand to face monetary fines, probation, and community service.
