Prostitution is the crime of giving/receiving money in exchange for sexual activity. At Jansen & Davis, P.A., we have more than a decade of criminal defense experience, and have defended many clients throughout the Tallahassee area who’ve been accused of prostitution.
Although prostitution is a misdemeanor offense, you could still face up to 60 days in jail for a first offense, up to one year in jail for a second offense, and up to 5 years in prison for a third offense. Certain prostitution crimes are felonies, such as forcing a minor to work as a prostitute or coercing another person into human sex trafficking. The penalties for felony prostitution are severe, and typically include up to 30 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.
