Solicitation of Prostitution

San Diego Solicitation of Prostitution Charges

Strip clubs, massage parlors, escort-call girl services and street-level prostitution are all present in the San Diego area and neighboring communities. Increasingly, however, these activities are being seriously prosecuted at the state and federal level.

Today, stings, raids and other law enforcement tactics designed to entrap people with charges of solicitation of prostitution, pimping, pandering and other illegal activities are more common than ever.

Whether you were arrested as part of a sting operation in a massage parlor, in the Midway area or on El Cajon Boulevard, you may have options that can help you avoid conviction on solicitation of prostitution charges. Talk to us and find out what your options are.

At The Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon, we represent individuals throughout the San Diego, California, region who have been arrested for prostitution-related crimes ranging from pimping and pandering to the criminal solicitation of sexual favors. Although the vast majority of these cases involve misdemeanor charges, they nonetheless pose serious problems to the people we represent. Our attorneys are well aware of this fact and are very discreet in their approach to handling these cases.

Defense Against Solicitation of Prostitution Charges

Stings, raids and other tactics used by law enforcement to entrap people with charges of prostitution, pimping, pandering and other activities can easily cross the line that separates legal and illegal.

Entrapment is one of the most common issues that can be raised as a defense. In many cases, undercover police officers actually act as accomplices to the crime alleged. Unless these officers have a corroborating eyewitness to back up what they say you did and what they say they didn't, they may be prohibited from testifying against you. In other situations, the police sometimes fail to obtain search warrants or illegally seize evidence.

The point is that no matter what you think the evidence against you is or what you may have already said to the police or prosecutor's office, you may still have strong legal options available to minimize or avoid damaging consequences altogether.

If you have been arrested for pimping, pandering or soliciting in one of the prostitution stings, massage parlor or strip club raids or other undercover police operations in the San Diego area, contact The Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon today for a free consultation and experienced legal help.
