Solicitation of Prostitution

San Diego Solicitation Defense Attorney

The San Diego police have active and continuing programs to arrest people for solicitation of prostitution. An arrest for such a crime is embarrassing, but it is more than a nuisance. A conviction for solicitation can result in a $600 fine and a jail sentence of 6-12 months, and the conviction goes on your record.

Fortunately, in most cases you can resolve this matter easily, confidentially, and without embarrassment.

Attorney Tim Richardson at San Diego Criminal Defense can represent you without your need to appear in court, and spare you the embarrassment and stigma of a conviction for solicitation of prostitution.

Defense of Solicitation

Many arrests for solicitation come as the result of sting operations. In one common sting, the police place ads on the Craig's List web site. When a man shows up at the appointed hotel room, police make the arrest.

It may be possible to defend the charge on the basis of entrapment or on the facts. However, this would require a court trial and the potential for publicity.
