Prostitution Charges in San Diego County

There are several different categories that prostitution-related offenses may fall under, according to California law. Following are the most common offenses associated with prostitution:

• Solicitation - the act of offering money in exchange for sexual activity.
• Prostitution - the act of exchanging money for sexual acts.
• Pandering - recruiting prostitutes for hire, or soliciting customers for a prostitute. Also referred to as "pimping."
• Loitering - lingering in a certain area for the purpose of engaging in prostitution.

Solicitation and prostitution are lesser crimes and may be charged as misdemeanors, punishable by up to 12 months in county jail. Pimping or pandering, however, is a felony offense that may result in a minimum term of imprisonment of 1 year in state prison.
