You Can Be Charged With Prostitution for a Variety of Offenses in Florida

In Florida, around 2,000 people are arrested for prostitution-related crimes each year. On average, about 300 of these cases are in Miami-Dade County. While most people think of prostitution as the crime of performing sexual acts for money, the scope of the law is actually much broader. If you are charged with prostitution or a related crime, you need a defense attorney who will aggressively defend you in court.

You Didn’t Buy or Sell a Sex Act, So Why Are You Being Charged?

In addition to performing a sex act for money, it is illegal in Florida to solicit a sex act for money. In other words, the prostitute and the person who pays them can both be charged with a crime. However, they are not the only people who face charges. The following acts are also illegal and fall under Florida Statute 796.07: Prostitution and Related Acts:

• Operating or owning in a prostitution-related business
• Offering or agreeing to secure another person for the purpose of prostitution
• Offering a property for prostitution to occur, or permitting prostitution to occur on one’s property
• Aiding in the transportation of a person to a destination where prostitution will occur
• Soliciting, inducing, enticing, or procuring another to commit prostitution
• Residing, entering, or remaining in a place where prostitution is occurring
• Aiding, abetting, or participating in any acts related to prostitution
