Prostitution is the exchange of sexual services for money. You may also be charged with prostitution if you arrange for others to engage in sexual behavior for money. Additionally, it is illegal to operate an establishment that individuals frequent to pay for sexual activity. Because sex crimes can cause hysteria and prejudice, it is always best to enlist help from an experienced Fort Lauderdale prostitution criminal defense lawyer if you are charged with any prostitution offense.

The punishments for all prostitution offenses range from probation to several years in prison, depending on the circumstances. You may also be liable for fines or mandatory intervention or substance abuse programs. Penalties for prostitution charges involving minors, however, may be substantially higher.
