Prostitution laws are enforced vigorously and carry severe penalties for those convicted. Partnering with a trusted lawyer is paramount to building a strategic defense and avoiding the life-altering repercussions of a conviction.

How to Defend Against Prostitution Charges

If you were arrested for prostitution in Miami-Dade County, it can be challenging to know what steps to take next. First and foremost, seeking experienced representation is critical to protecting your rights and reputation. At Beckham Solis, Attorneys at Law, we have a wealth of experience and prosecutorial knowledge to establish a vigorous defense on your behalf. Our attorneys can help formulate an effective legal strategy to challenge the prosecution’s case and minimize the impact of the charges you’re facing. 

Some common defense strategies against prostitution charges include: 

  • Lack of evidence: The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you engaged in sexual activity for hire. If they lack insufficient evidence, we can fight to get the charges dismissed. 
  • Entrapment: If law enforcement officers induced or coerced you into committing a crime that you would not have otherwise committed, this constitutes entrapment. We can help you gather evidence to show that your actions were the result of the officers’ misconduct and fight for a dismissal of the charges.
  • Constitutional violations: Law enforcement officers must follow strict protocols when investigating prostitution offenses. If they violated your constitutional rights during arrest or investigation, we can work to get inadmissible evidence dismissed from your case, potentially dropping or reducing the charges against you.

  • Solicitation
    This offense is illegal under Florida Statutes § 796.07(2)(f). It refers to requesting, enticing, or directing another person to engage in prostitution. Even if you don’t complete the transaction, simply offering money or other items of value for sex can result in a solicitation charge.
  • Procuring
    This offenseis defined as inducing, persuading, encouraging, or causing another individual to engage in prostitution under (§ 796.03). It involves acting as a pimp or otherwise facilitating and promoting prostitution.
  • Pandering
    This criminal offense is committed when a person compels or entices another person into prostitution through threats, fraud, coercion, force, intimidation, or any other means of control (§ 796.04(3)).
  • Pimping
    This criminal offense involves living off the earnings of prostitution, benefiting financially from another person’s prostitution activities, or managing or owning a brothel (§ 796.05).
