Understanding Why You May Have Been Arrested for Solicitation of a Prostitute So many people, both men and women, are arrested for indecent solicitation of a prostitute throughout the world each year. The fact is that some are guilty and don't understand the seriousness of their crime, while others had absolutely no clue the person they were talking to was a known prostitute. There are a few things you need to know regarding the law and how it works, along with what you need to do to secure the best indecent solicitation attorney to represent you. Now many people don't know what caused the laws interest in them while speaking to a prostitute, but the fact is that by speaking to a prostitute, it is possible that the law thought you had solicited them. Even if you did, there are some important things to know about, including calling an indecent solicitation attorney straight away and not answering any questions until they are on hand to assist you. It's important that you are aware that if you are convicted of a sex crime, it will remain on your record and will damage your reputation moving forward. You may have your name registered on the sex offenders list, something that will come up when you visit the bank, apply for a new job or look at renting a property. Whether you are guilty or not, having a sex crime conviction is something you will never escape and it will come up time and time again if you are ever arrested for anything in the future. If you find yourself convicted of indecent solicitation of a prostitute, then you could face anything from thirty days to one full year in jail. You could face a fine ranging from $100 to $1,000 and this excludes any court fees. In addition to this, you could also face a twelve month probation period. In order to secure the best possible resolution in the fastest possible time, you will want to secure the representation of an experienced and knowledgeable indecent solicitation attorney with a proven track record. There are numerous arguments your indecent solicitation attorney can use to reduce the charges against you, potentially enabling you to walk away. The first of these defense arguments may include lack of intent. Tis may be used if you genuinely didn't know you were speaking to a prostitute or the prostitute approached you and you were honestly refusing their services. Another common defense includes entrapment. It is possible you were being watched by undercover police or the prostitute was an undercover police officer. Your indecent solicitation attorney may use this information in your defense, using the entrapment argument could help your case, reducing your sentence or having the case thrown out of court completely.
