What Is Prostitution?

Prostitution is defined as engaging in a sexual act for money, or offering money in exchange for a sexual act. Therefore, both parties can be guilty of prostitution. Charges related to prostitution include patronizing a prostitute and promoting a prostitute. Patronizing is another word for paying money or agreeing to pay money to a prostitute in exchange for a sexual act.

Promoting, commonly called "pimping," is securing a profit for oneself from prostitution. Depending upon the circumstances, all three charges related to prostitution, patronizing, promoting or actual prostitution, can be classified as either misdemeanor or felony offenses.

Repeat offenders may find their charges bumped up to felony, which can result in:

• Lengthy prison stays
• Large monetary penalties
• Sex offender registration
