Prostitution and Indecent Exposure
Defense Attorney
Prostitution & Solicitation Defense in Los Angeles
Prostitution crimes are misdemeanors in Los Angeles. Most arrests for prostitution are the result of stings that make use of attractive female undercover police officers as well as groups of male officers. The undercover female officers act as decoys, trying to attract male motorists and doing their best to lure the motorists to agree to sex in exchange for money. Once the male target does this, he is directed to a hotel parking lot where a group of male police officers pounce on him and arrest him for prostitution.
Police prostitution sting operations are often situations of entrapment. A good Los Angeles prostitution defense lawyer can evaluate your discussion and interaction with the police undercover officer to determine whether entrapment is indeed a defense strategy that can be successful in your case. Overzealous undercover officers sometimes overstep boundaries and a good attorney can help gather evidence of this.
Many men caught in prostitution stings are middle class or working class men with no criminal records. Often, these men want to keep their arrests secret in order to avoid endangering personal relationships or their careers. They often do not want to go to trial because they fear the social consequences. A good attorney will respect your wishes but can still help you by potentially reducing the charges to a disturbing the peace charge.
If you have been wrongfully accused and do decide to go to trial, a good Los Angeles defense attorney can usually successfully defend your case. This is especially the case when a strong entrapment defense is possible.
Indecent Exposure Defense in Los Angeles
Indecent exposure is a more serious charge. If you are convicted of indecent exposure, you may be registered as a sex offender for life and you may be charged with a felony. You may face a long jail sentence as well. The social and personal consequences for this type of conviction can be similar to the consequences for a sex assault charge. Your freedom and future are at stake, which is why hiring a qualified Los Angeles defense attorney is crucial.
A good attorney will hire an investigator to interview all witnesses, including alibi witnesses and prosecution witnesses. An investigator may even find witnesses that the prosecution and the official investigation have not found - witnesses that can help your case.
If this strategy proves ineffective, your attorney may arrange for an evaluation by a psychologist who specializes in sex offenses. The psychologist can recommend a course of treatment. If you immediately begin treatment, you may be able to argue for a less serious offense and you have a greater chance of being granted probation because you are being proactive about your problem. In a case that is otherwise hard to defend, this strategy can ensure that you do not have to register as a sex offender and that you do not have to face incarceration.
