Topic: Charged for Solicit/Engaging in Prostitution
Anonymous A started this discussion 6 years ago #88,254
On 06/24/2019, I was arrested and charged with Solicit/Engage in Prostitution.
I live and work in an area which is a popular for prostitution and on a daily basis my coworkers, family, and I would see multiple prostitutes in the area which became a common topic for discussion and one question that always came up was "how much does a prostitute charge?"
While driving home that Monday night, curiosity got the best of me and while in the area where prostitution is common, I pulled over to ask a female prostitute how much she charges. She answered my question, I ended our conversation, and continued driving home. Moments later I was pulled over and immediately put into handcuffs and transported to our county detention center where I stayed the night. I've been charged with Misdemeanor Solicit/Engage in Prostitution.
I am absolutely horrified and worried about the repercussions this act that had no malicious intent will have on my future. I'm in the process of seeking legal advice, hoping I will be able to get this dropped and off of my record. I have absolutely no criminal history, not even a traffic violation.
Does this seem to be something that could potentially be dropped AND taken off of my record? I'm worried about my future with potential employers conducting background checks.

You fucked up, OP. You should have taken her to a motel room and murdered her then had sex with the corpse.

They should not have arrested you. No money changed hands, therefore no crime was committed.

"Johns" face steeper penalties than sex workers. The statute states: ... Prostitution under NRS 201.354 is defined under Nevada law as the exchange of sexual favors for something of value, usually money. Merely offering or agreeing to trade sex for a fee (called the solicitation of prostitution) is also illegal.

1.2. Legal definition of solicitation in Nevada:
Solicitation of prostitution is proposing to engage in prostitution or accepting an offer to engage in prostitution.3 However, solicitation is just as illegal as prostitution. It makes no difference if sex never takes place and money never changes hands.
Note that a prostitute can be criminally liable for solicitation even if he/she never intended to go through with the sex act. And a john can be criminally liable for prostitution even if he/she plans to go back on his/her promise to pay for the sex. A person's actions, not intent, is the key to determining whether solicitation takes place. Las Vegas solicitation lawyer Neil Shouse gives an example:

Interesting it says (to close a loophole)-
> ote that a prostitute can be criminally liable for solicitation even if he/she never intended to go through with the sex act. And a john can be criminally liable for prostitution even if he/she plans to go back on his/her promise to pay for the sex.
I guess it's kind of like how they can charge people with 'conspiracy'.
But if a man has no money in his pocket (plans to cheat the hooker) they should e allowed to arrest him for paying for or attempting to pay for sex.

I'm surprised they dont also try and say they can arrest people who are in the company of a drug dealer they bust and say they were buying drugs, with no evidence involved.

I think it's safe to say - OP said.
> I pulled over to ask a female prostitute how much she charges. She answered my question, I ended our conversation, and continued driving home.
That was no prostitute that was a cop. She was wired and recorded the conversation. So every word was recorded.
becky is better equipped to explain why being in the company of a drug dealer is a different matter.
OP has learned a lesson in life. Unless one is prepared to be screwed, one should not put oneself in the position of bending over.
