What Can Get You Charged With Prostitution In Arizona

We all know what prostitution is. But did you know that under Arizona law, police can arrest you and you can be charged for other related actions, behaviors or circumstances?

  • Own a property that police allege is used for prostitution-related activities
  • Pandering or pimping – or consenting to arrange another person as a prostitute
  • Transporting or directing another person to a location for the purpose of prostitution
  • Offering to engage in any consensual sexual act in exchange for money, goods or service
  • Soliciting another person to engage in any act of prostitution
  • Residing on a property that includes a vehicle present onsite use for the purpose of prostitution

As you can see, police and prosecutors have a wide range of possible charges related to prostitution. We work hard to make sure your rights are protected against false charges.
