Virginia Prostitution Solicitation Lawyers Fairfax Richmond Beach Manassas Lynchburg Fredericksburg
VIRGINIA PROSTITUTION & SOLICITATION DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
MISDEMEANOR AND FELONY CASES
STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS
In Virginia, sex related offenses such as Prostitution, Pandering, and Solicitation are illegal. They are serious offenses that carry life changing consequences. The Virginia law offices of SRIS, P.C.have a number of excellent Virginia prostitution defense attorneys & solicitation defense lawyers in its offices in Fairfax, Manassas, Lynchburg, Richmond and Virginia Beach, Virginia .
Prostitution is the practice of engaging in sexual activity, usually with individuals other than a spouse or a friend, in exchange for money or other valuables.
Pandering is the act of recruiting a prostitute or soliciting customers for a prostitute. A pimp commits the crime of pandering.
Solicitation is the act of asking, inducing or directing someone to engage in sexual activity in exchange for money. Solicitation is commonly known as Solicitation for Prostitution.
Prostitution may be of either sex and may engage in heterosexual or homosexual activity but most prostitution has been by women with men as clients. Prostitution is a crime throughout almost all of the United States.
In Virginia, in cases involving solicitation for prostitution, most clients are arrested in so called “sting operations”. These operations usually involve a woman (in some cases an undercover cop/decoy) acting as the prostitute soliciting drivers from the side of a roadway. Also lately, the stings have been set up on very popular and heavily trafficked web sites such as centralized networks of online urban communities, featuring free classifieds advertisements. The female decoy is generally very attractive and does her best to lure unsuspecting and unwary men to pull over and engage her in a brief conversation. After a brief verbal exchange the prostitute attempts to get the person to say the magic words — SEX AND MONEY. Once the unsuspecting person agrees to the sex act for money the person is usually arrested immediately or after pulling into a parking lot or inside of a hotel room.
In Virginia, both the prostitute and the “John” are aggressively prosecuted for prostitution and solicitation. Innocent citizens with no criminal history can find themselves accused and arrested of one of these crimes simply by being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Prostitution and solicitation are crimes that may be charged as felonies or misdemeanors. Both of these sex crimes carry a lasting social stigma and serious legal consequences. In some states, because of overwhelming pressure from the public many prosecutors will stop at nothing to get a conviction. Punishment on these cases can range from community service, AIDS testing, fines, counseling to jail time.
There are many defenses available to these crimes. Contacting a skilled SRIS, P.C. Virginia criminal lawyer as soon as possible allows the attorney to evaluate the evidence and witnesses to be questioned immediately after the event, providing the best opportunity for a successful defense.
In Virginia, law enforcement has attacked the prostitution problem from a different angle — by focusing on massage parlors, bawdy houses and escort agencies. Regular raids and stings of these businesses occur on a regular basis with cops posing as customers intent on testing the boundaries that various escorts and masseuses may or may not be willing to cross during their one hour long companionship. With the advent of the Internet both escorts and prostitutes found a new way of accessing new business. Their growing popularity on the Internet has not gone unnoticed by law enforcement.
