Prostitution Defense | Accused Engaging in Commercial Sex

Facing accusations under prostitution defense laws can be an intimidating and distressing experience, especially when the accusations are based on misunderstandings or incidents fueled by impaired judgment. In this case, a client was accused of engaging in commercial sex following an alcohol-fueled visit to a massage parlor. Despite being unaware that the establishment was involved in illegal activities, the client was later notified by police and faced serious criminal charges under New York’s prostitution defense laws.SJKP’s prostitution defense lawyers intervened early to clarify the facts and emphasize the client’s lack of awareness and intent. By carefully structuring the defense and submitting key evidence of the client’s intoxicated state, SJKP successfully secured a non-prosecution outcome. This case demonstrates how early intervention from experienced attorneys can lead to favorable results in prostitution defense cases.
