Prostitution or Solicitation - It Happens
Selling yourself
or your body for sex has been a long standing crime in the State of Michigan
and most of the United States. The term, as you may know, for selling ones self
for sex is prostitution. It is also known as soliciting or accosting to commit
prostitution or an immoral act. In order to be convicted the act, gesture,
statement, or any other means to commit prostitution while in a public place,
public building, or in a vehicle.
The statute
means that an exchange for money does not need to occur in order to be
convicted of the crime. Moreover, sex does not actually have to occur. This
means that an individual can be charged and arrested for prostitution by simply
making a gesture that suggests he or she is enticing another to engage in his
or her serves of sexual gratification.
In many
instances, but not all, a soliciting and accosting charge will be pled down to
a disorderly conduct (common prostitute) charge. This is not always guaranteed;
however, they can be common in cases where the individual charged has no record
and other positive attributes in his or her life. On the other hand, some
counties in Michigan make it a policy decision not to deal with individuals
charged with prostitution (soliciting and accosting).
In the end, it
is best to contact and hire and attorney for this charge. It allows for the
negotiations to be fair, straightforward, and judicial. Do not go into court by
yourself, hire a firm like the Law Office of Josh Jones. We are here for your
