Denver Prostitution Lawyer

Solicitation Defense Attorneys in Colorado You Can Trust

When someone is charged with committing prostitution or another prostitution-related crime, they are potentially facing significant consequences. Prostitution is inherently a very private act, and when public criminal charges are levied against someone for prostitution, their lives can turn inside-out.

For example, if the accused were married with a family or occupied a position of public trust, an insinuation of guilt alone can have lasting repercussions on the defendant’s personal or professional life. That is why you should seek legal representation from a skilled Denver prostitution attorney with experience in prostitution defense cases.

At Fife Luneau, P.C., we have years of experience defending people against crimes involving prostitution. Backed by years of experience and a proven track record of success, you can count on us to provide you with unyielding advocacy, so your constitutional right to a fair trial is not infringed.

Colorado Law on Prostitution

Under Colorado’s criminal code, Prostitution is a class 3 misdemeanor. According to Colorado law, “any person who performs or offers or agrees to perform any act of sexual intercourse…in exchange for money or other thing of value commits prostitution.” C.R.S. 18-7-201(1).

A successful conviction for prostitution in Denver requires the prosecution to demonstrate the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

  • Performance or an agreement to perform;
  • Any act of sexual intercourse;
  • With any person who was not his or her spouse;
  • In exchange for money or other valuable goods or service.

In addition to the act of prostitution, Colorado law also criminally prohibits the following acts related to prostitution.

  • Soliciting for prostitution – this offense includes arranging a meeting for the purpose of prostitution and directing someone to a place of prostitution.
  • Pandering – this offense involves someone inducing another person to commit prostitution or otherwise arranging a situation involving prostitution.
  • Patronizing a prostitute – anyone who has sex with a prostitute for money or enters a place of prostitution with the intent of having sex with a prostitute is guilty of patronizing a prostitute.
  • Pimping – under section 18-7-206 of Colorado’s revised statutes, “anyone who knowingly lives on or is supported or maintained in whole or in part by money or other thing of value earned, received, produced, or realized by any other person through prostitution commits pimping, which is a class 3 felony.”

Affirmative Defense for Victims of Human Trafficking

Many people who engage in prostitution do not do so voluntarily. Unfortunately, many prostitutes are forced into prostitution because they are victims of human trafficking. Thus, the defendant in a prostitution case proves by a preponderance of the evidence that they were a victim of human trafficking when the offense in question was committed, they are not guilty of committing the crime of prostitution.

WE'VE GOT THEM!
  • Will my license be suspended if I am arrested for DUI?
    When you have been charged with driving under the influence, the DMV will begin the license suspension process. Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, you can face a suspension of up to five years. Challenging a license suspension requires you to request a DMV hearing within seven days of you being pulled over. The results of this trial may be a probationary license that allows you to keep driving or the installation of an interlock ignition device that will allow you to drive only after you have proven your sobriety.
  • How are DUI and DWAI offenses different?

    DUI, or driving under the influence, is usually charges as a misdemeanor that arises when you blood alcohol content is .08% or above. Driving while ability impaired, or DWAI, is an infraction when your BAC is higher than .05 but less than .08. DUI offenses carry more serious charges, including up to a year in jail, $1,000 in fines, and community service. A DWAI conviction will result in up to 180 days in jail, $200 in fines, and up to 48 hours of community service. Our Denver DUI lawyers can challenge the results of breath and blood tests and have a successful record in many cases.

  • Can’t I just accept the consequences of an arrest and move on?

    It can be incredibly stressful to face a first offense but accepting your conviction will not simply allow you to move on. When you have a criminal record, many avenues become barred for you, including some professional licenses, the ability to join the military, and having other rights that are granted to citizens. At Fife Luneau, P.C., our Denver criminal defense attorneys work hard to fight for you and your record.
