Minnesota Prostitution Defense Lawyer
What is the difference between prostitution, solicitation and pandering? Prostitution is the exchanging of money for sexual acts of any kind. Solicitation is the act of asking someone to exchange money for sexual acts. Pandering involves solicitation of customers for prostitution.
Police often arrest people for loitering, on the assumption that the person is intending to commit prostitution or solicitation of prostitution. Officers look at certain factors when deciding whether a person intends to commit an act. These factors include:
- Possession of condoms
- Possession of lubricants
- Possession of a large amount of cash/types of bills
- Possession of cell phones/pagers
- Possession of a ‘client list’
- Possession of sex toys
- Location, dress, suspicious activity
