California Prostitution Laws: What You Need to Know
Under California Penal Code § 647(b), it is illegal to:
- Engage in an act of prostitution.
- Solicit or agree to engage in prostitution.
- Offer or request sexual acts in exchange for money, property, or anything of value.
Both the individual offering and the individual seeking sexual services can be charged. Importantly, the law applies even if no money changes hands or if the act does not occur-an agreement or offer alone may be sufficient for an arrest.
Key Elements Prosecutors Must Prove:
- A request or offer for a sexual act.
- An agreement to engage in the act in exchange for compensation.
- Intent to follow through with the act.
