Under New Jersey law, prostitution involves sexual activity or the offer and acceptance of sexual activity in exchange for money or property. The term "sexual activity" is defined very broadly under the law. Prostitution charges can be levied against people alleged to have solicited prostitution, engaged in prostitution or promoted prostitution. Depending on the circumstances, prostitution can range from a disorderly persons charge to a third degree crime.
Passaic County Sexual Misconduct Law Firm Aggressively Defends the Accused
In our years of criminal defense work at Maynard & Sumner, LLC, we have encountered many cases in which police arrested both customers ("johns") and alleged prostitutes through sting operations. Were you set up through an entrapment situation when a law enforcement agent solicited sexual favors and stated or implied a promise of payment for those actions? Whether or not sexual contact actually occurred, police may claim that you stated a price or otherwise pledged to provide sex for pay. Our lawyers will evaluate the evidence and determine if we can present a viable entrapment defense or any other defense on your behalf.
