Fortunately, most District Attorney's office, have programs that are meant to educate, such as presentations about the dangers of prostitution and sexual disease, often called "John's School", or programs where you take a confidential blood test to see if you contracted a sexual disease.

Our attorneys are regulars in the New York City and Westchester criminal courts and know the system.

ONLINE STINGS

Law enforcement in recent years have set up fake ads which advertise sexual services and then when someone shows up the police are there. Usually these stings are meant to send a message and scare men from looking for sex on line. If you don't already have a criminal record, the ultimate goal of these stings is often to scare you, and the prosecutors are often willing to reduce the charges to a non-criminal offense. So if you were arrested in an online sex sting in New York City or Westchester, call our prostitution defense attorneys today.

MASSAGE PARLOR ARRESTS

Often massage parlors and spas, offer "happy endings" and in New York City, especially Manhattan and Queens, these spas and massage parlors are frequently fronts for prostitution. Most of these establishments do not have surveillance cameras which record what happened in the room where the "massage" took place. So unless you actually admitted that you were engaged in prostitution, then there is no proof. So even if you were caught in a raid on a massage parlor or spa, it is often a defensible case, due to lack of proof, and the prosecutors know that. So as long as you kept your mouth shut, you have a good chance of getting through this unscathed.

STRIP CLUB RAIDS

If you were in a private show, which went a little to far and the police did a sweep, you may be facing a prostitution charge. The good news is that while you may have been arrested, the men who frequent strip joints aren't the prime targets of these raids. The main objective of law enforcement is usually to close the place down. This means that the prosecutors are often willing to make a deal with you. Also, most of these places don't have cameras in the private or VIP rooms, which creates problems of proof for the prosecution. That means there is difficulty in proving a case, so long as you didn't admit to engaging in sexual acts for money.

Street Encounters

While these types of arrests are less common than they used to be because sex work has largely moves on line or into establishments, our attorneys have extensive experience in defending people who are charged with loitering for prostitution. If you were caught in a sting, with an undercover officer posing as a prostitute, that still does not mean you are going to jail. Our attorneys have experience in handling these cases and bringing them to a good resolution.

THE PROSTITUTION SERVICES AND CLUBS I GOT A CALL FROM A DETECTIVE- WHAT DO I DO?

With the rise in popularity of services that provide girls and even party favors such as drugs, these operations resemble legitimate businesses, although they are still illegal. The appearance of a business like atmosphere can cause a lot of professional men to let their guard down, and provide personal information and even pay with credit cards or checks. Unfortunately, sometimes the customers don't know it but these services are being watched so when there is an electronic payment, the authorities may know that you made a payment.

From time to time our New York criminal defense attorneys who handle prostitution cases, get a call from a white collar client, who was called by a detective. Our prostitution defense lawyers recommend that you tell the detectives that you want a lawyer and that you refuse to answer any questions. The detectives may try to put you at ease by saying that you are not the target or they just want to talk or that it will be in your best interest to cooperate. None of this is true, if they are calling you to cooperate, they don't have enough evidence for a conviction and want you to supply the evidence. If the police are really after only the information, then they will have no problem with an attorney negotiating an immunity deal. So if you are contacted by the police or a detective, tell them you want a lawyer and call our attorneys immediately.
