Prostitution Charges in Southern California

Prostitution is generally defined as any sexual act which is offered, accepted or performed in exchange for money. Both the “prostitute” (the person accepting money for sexual acts) and the “john” (the person offering money for sexual acts) may face criminal charges.

• A first offense involving prostitution or solicitation of prostitution may be charged as a misdemeanor, where the maximum term of imprisonment is 12 months in county jail.
• A prior prostitution conviction will mean that a mandatory term of imprisonment of 45 days may be required.
• Having 2 prior prostitution convictions on one’s record may result in a mandatory term of imprisonment of 90 days.
• (Note: specific penalties will vary depending upon the particular offense as well as the jurisdiction.)
