Atlanta Prostitution Defense Lawyer

Have you been criminally charged with prostitution?

Sex crimes are taken extremely seriously in the state of Georgia. If you are successfully convicted, you will find that you are facing extreme penalties that will have a direct and profound impact on your life. Prostitution is no different. Under Georgia law, §16-6-9, prostitution is considered to be the offense of offering to partake, or consenting to participate, in a sexual act for remuneration. This can either be sodomy, intercourse or anything that might fall under the umbrella of the term "sexual act."

This, however, is not the only criminal act that is considered to be part of prostitution. According to §16-6-10 and §16-6-11, it is also a crime to have control and ownership over a structure in which prostitution takes place. This is considered to be keeping a place of prostitution - knowingly running a building where you grant permission for prostitution to occur. Pimping also falls into line with these types of laws. The following acts are considered to be pimping:

Offering to secure a prostitute for a client;
Agreeing to arrange a meeting for the purposes of prostitution;
Transporting a person for the purpose of prostitution;
Receiving money or assets that were knowingly earned by prostitution; and
Aiding a prostitute and receiving part of the profits
