Establishing A Strong Defense Against Prostitution Charges

Prostitution is the exchange of sexual services for money. You may also be arrested and charged with prostitution if you arrange for others to engage in sexual behavior for money. In addition, it is illegal to operate an establishment that people frequent to pay for sexual services. The punishments for prostitution offenses range from probation to several years in state prison depending on the circumstances of your case.

If you have been charged with a prostitution offense or other sex crime, immediately contact me, former prosecutor Justin Caldarone, of The Caldarone Law Group, P.A., for a free consultation to protect your liberty and good name. Call 239-244-3242 or email my office.
