A good prostitution defense attorney in California can identify weaknesses in the state’s evidence and work toward a more favorable resolution of prostitution charges.
The defendant is accused of soliciting another person to participate in an act of prostitution. To prove this offense, the prosecution must prove that:
- The defendant did or did not solicit another person to participate in an act of prostitution.
- The defendant had the intent to participate in an act of prostitution with the other person.
The other person received the communication containing the solicitation. A person engages in an act of prostitution if he or she has sexual intercourse or commits a lewd act with another person in exchange for money or other compensation.
