Prostitution Loitering Defined

When a police officer decides to arrest someone for loitering for the purpose of committing prostitution or for solicitation of prostitution an officer looks at many key factors to prove someone was intending to commit a criminal act:

• 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
  
  
  

Prostitution Entrapment Defense

In Minneapolis, Minnesota it is not uncommon for a police officer to entrap a person. When a female police officer goes undercover as a prostitute and arrests someone trying to ‘pick her up’ the accused often feels that they’ve been entrapped. Police officers are allows to do this sort of ‘sting’ operation for a variety of reasons while not considering it entrapment in most cases.

The key to this sting operation and as a part of your defense (which our criminal defense lawyer is an expert with) is what verbal or non-verbal communication occurred. Was there an act of exchanging money? What was said to the police officer? A thorough examination of the police report is necessary as well as interviewing witnesses.
