Prostitution and Solicitation
Aggressive defense lawyer in Utah
In Utah, you can be arrested for prostitution just for standing on the wrong corner. You can be charged with solicitation for saying the wrong words. Do not accept your circumstance as a done deal. Fight your charges with the help of skilled lawyer Harold Stone.
Are you facing prostitution charges?
You do not have to be working as a prostitute to face charges of prostitution. In Utah, you can be charged with the crime of prostitution if you:
- Live in a house where prostitution takes place
- Loiter in or near an area known for prostitution
Most prostitution arrests happen on the street, in areas where the police have made arrests before. To convict you, the prosecution must prove that you were there for the purpose of offering sex for money. But they may arrest you first and ask questions later. Once you have an arrest on your record, you are more likely to be arrested again by the same police officers. This can become a vicious cycle. Let attorney Harold Stone break the cycle for you.
Have you been charged with solicitation?
You may face charges of solicitation even if you did not intend to offer money in exchange for a sexual act. You may even be charged with patronizing a prostitute without having sexual contact. An arrest is easily made, but a conviction on such charges requires proof that you were seeking to pay for a sexual encounter. Never assume that pleading guilty is the easiest way out of solicitation charges. Get a persistent Provo criminal defense lawyer on your side.
