Louisiana Prostitution Defense Lawyer

Call Us | 318-377-1555

Being accused of prostitution or solicitation in Louisiana can negatively impact your life in a number of ways. Prostitution and prostitution-related charges can show up on your background check and may be discovered by your current or prospective employer. If your boss and coworkers find out that you were allegedly caught soliciting prostitution or offering sex acts for money, it could strain the relationship you once enjoyed with them or get you fired. If you are applying for a new position, your criminal charges will likely lead to several missed opportunities. Attorney Eric Johnson of The John D. & Eric G. Johnson Law Firm understands the delicate nature of prostitution charges in Louisiana and can help you overcome this obstacle.

What are Common Prostitution Offenses in Louisiana?

Prostitution and solicitation are illegal sex crimes in Louisiana that are typically charged as misdemeanor offenses. However, some prostitution-related charges such as pandering can be felonies. In Louisiana, any sex crime that involves a weapon or a minor is always a felony offense.

To capture prostitutes and others involved in the exchange of sexual acts for money, Louisiana law enforcement officers set up elaborate sting operations in which police officers go undercover and act like they are soliciting sex. Local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies all participate in sting operations. Several parties may be charged upon the completion of these schemes:

  • Prostitutes (who may be victims of human trafficking)
  • “Pimps” or those who profit off of prostitution
  • “Johns” or those soliciting sex
  • Hotel management for enabling illegal activity
  • Advertisers who may have unknowingly promoted ads for prostitution

The following are just some common Louisiana prostitution crimes for which a person may face severe penalties upon conviction:

  • Pandering (aka “pimping”)
  • Promoting prostitution
  • Solicitation
  • Letting premises
  • Enticing persons into prostitution
