Houston, Texas Prostitution Attorney

Prostitution involves the exchange of money or property for sexual favors. While most prostitution charges are filed class A or B misdemeanors a person with multiple prior convictions could be charged with a felony.

Have You Been Arrested for Prostitution?

Law enforcement officers frequently set up sting operations where an officer will pose as a "john" or prostitute's customer. If the prostitute solicits the officer, he or she will be immediately arrested.

Penalties

Depending on the circumstances of the case, a conviction for prostitution could result in:

  • Probation
  • Jail time
  • Fines
  • Community service

Potential Defenses

Entrapment is one of several defenses that can be used to help prevent a guilty verdict in your case, and may even result in a reduction in charges or case dismissal. In an entrapment defense, prostitution charges are contested on the basis that the defendant was induced to commit a crime that they wouldn't have committed otherwise.
