Prostitution and solicitation are misdemeanors in California. A first and second-time conviction carries up to a $1,000 fine and up to six months in prison. A third conviction carries between 90 days to six months in jail and up to $1,000 in fines. If the prostitute was under 18, the fines are up to $10,000 and between 2 days and one year in Orange County jail. A conviction also leaves you with a criminal record which could affect your social life, family, and career. You may also be required to register as a sex offender. If you’re facing such charges, you need an experienced Orange County sex crime attorney to guide and defend you.
