Unraveling the Complexities of New York Prostitution Laws
New York prostitution laws target various offenses that arise from the illicit act of engaging, or agreeing to engage, in sexual conduct in exchange for money. As a Class B misdemeanor, prostitution offenses carry potentially severe consequences.

Strategic Defense for Prostitution Charges
Facing prostitution charges can be a daunting and emotionally charged experience. At Spodek Law Group, our proficient NYC prostitution defense lawyers employ a strategic and thorough approach to dismantle the prosecution’s case. We meticulously examine every aspect of the arrest, focusing on potential instances of entrapment, invasion of privacy, or other illegal or discriminatory investigative tactics that may have been employed.
Debating the Complexities of Prostitution
While prostitution remains illegal in 49 US states, a myriad of arguments continues to circulate, debating the decriminalization and regulation of the practice. Advocates for decriminalization argue that such a move could protect sex workers, reduce the burden on law enforcement, and generate revenue for states. However, the prevailing American sentiment still views prostitution as an immoral and degrading act, keeping it illegal in the vast majority of the country.

Defenses Against Prostitution Charges
When facing prostitution charges, it is crucial to have an experienced and skilled legal team on your side. At Spodek Law Group, we employ various defenses to challenge the prosecution’s case, including:
-
-
- Lack of evidence: Our attorneys will thoroughly examine the evidence presented by the prosecution and work to expose any weaknesses or inconsistencies that may lead to a dismissal or reduction of charges.
- Entrapment: In some cases, law enforcement may have used illegal or unethical tactics to induce an individual into committing a crime they would not have otherwise committed. If our team can prove entrapment, your charges may be dismissed.
- Mistaken identity: We will work diligently to establish a solid alibi or present evidence that demonstrates you were not the person involved in the alleged crime, potentially leading to a dismissal of charges.
- Challenging the agreement: In cases involving patronizing a person for prostitution, our skilled lawyers will meticulously investigate whether a clear agreement or understanding of payment for sex was ever established. If the prosecution cannot prove this, your case may be dismissed or significantly reduced.
