Orlando and Central Florida Prostitution Lawyer
Do you need an Orlando or Central Florida Prostitution Lawyer? Prostitution, the word's oldest profession, is still strongly regulated
and carries some stiff penalties in Florida. Undercover police have become
more relentless in making arrests for both offering and solicitation of prostitution.
The penalties vary depending on whether the accused has any prior prostitution
conviction, or whether the person has any sexually transmitted diseases.
The penalties are:
A second degree misdemeanor for a first prostitution violation (punishable
with up to 60 days in jail)
- A first degree misdemeanor for a second prostitution violation (punishable
with up to a year in jail)
- A first degree misdemeanor if the person has previously tested
positive for a sexually transmitted disease and knew about it.
- A 3rd degree felony for a third or subsequent prostitution violation
(punishable with up to 5 years in jail)
- A 3rd degree felony if the person has previously tested positive for HIV and knew about it.
Additionally, there are mandatory fines, and a person convicted of a prostitution charge must undergo screening for sexually transmitted diseases.
Our Orlando Prostitution Lawyer at NeJame Law rigorously evaluates the evidence that the police present in a prostitution charge, as we do in all charges. In fact, if the undercover police officer's conduct was so outrageous and actually violates our client's constitutional rights, it might be even possible to have the prostitution charges dismissed due to entrapment. We inquire whether the police actually audio or video taped the alleged incident, and if they did not, we would want to know why not. Even if there is an audio or video tape, we scrutinize what is actually being said and compare it to what the police claim in their police report.
Because we have previous prosecutors within our law office, we know how the State approaches these cases and we are able to use that knowledge to your advantage.
