Though this scenario occurs hundreds of times a day in every major city in Florida, prostitution charges encompass an incredible amount of conduct outside of what we typically envision.
Whether you are accused of prostitution or solicitation of prostitution, there are serious direct and collateral penalties in addition to the embarrassment accompanying the charge.

Should you be accused of any of the conduct mentioned above and ultimately elect to go to trial, evidence of the nature and reputation of the neighborhood and surroundings where the prostitution or solicitation of prostitution allegedly occurred is specifically admissible into evidence under Florida Rule of Evidence This is hugely significant as this type of evidence with respect to other crimes is generally not admissible due to it being speculative and ultimately too prejudicial under Florida Rule of Evidence The typical scenario leading to an arrest for this type of offense is a concentrated sting by a local police agency.
Due to the increasing prevalence of these offenses, law enforcement is singling out these types of crimes and making arrests based on audio and video surveillance.
