Although some believe that prostitution is a victimless crime, the state of Virginia has laws against the buying, selling, or profiting from the sale of sex. The simple accusation of prostitution or solicitation can immediately destroy your reputation and negatively impact your personal relationships.

What is prostitution? Prostitution is the trading of sexual acts for money.

Penalties – Class 1 misdemeanor, up to one year in jail, fines of up to $2500.00

What is solicitation? Solicitation is the behavior that shows the intent to engage in prostitution, such as discussing prices for certain sexual services. An individual does not need to carry out the act of prostitution in order to face charges for this offense.

Penalties – Class 1 misdemeanor, up to one year in jail, fines of up to $2500.00

Why should I consult an attorney? The law is very harsh when it comes to punishing those who are alleged to be in the business of procuring and profiting from sex. The irreparable damage to your reputation will haunt you for the rest of your life.
