Las Vegas Internet Solicitation Attorneys

Sex Crimes Defense in Nevada

The internet has made it easier to buy and sell products and services of all kinds, including sexual favors. There are many ways for people to offer and purchase sex online, which can also, unfortunately, lead to innocent offers or conversation being misconstrued. Law enforcement agents are fully aware of these trends and they often engage in sting operations to deter people from purchasing or offering sex for money.

Serious Penalties for Internet Solicitation

In Las Vegas, two parties can be charged with solicitation of prostitution, the one perceived as the prostitute and the "john" or individual seeking services. Although online solicitation charges are misdemeanors in most instances, a conviction can affect your life in a number of different ways.

The penalties for solicitation over the internet include:

• Time in jail
• Significant fines
• Sex offender registration
