What is Prostitution?

Prostitution is considered the exchange of sexual services for money or other valuable items. In Maryland, like in most states, it is illegal to engage in or solicit prostitution. This includes not only sexual intercourse but also other sexual acts offered in exchange for compensation. Prostitution is considered a criminal offense to protect public morals and maintain societal order.

What are the Penalties for Prostitution in Maryland?

The penalties for prostitution in Maryland can be severe and may include the following:

Misdemeanor Conviction: Prostitution is typically charged as a misdemeanor offense. A conviction can result in up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $500.
Criminal Record: A prostitution conviction can lead to a criminal record, which can have long-term effects, including difficulty finding employment and housing.
Potential for Additional Charges: In some cases, individuals charged with prostitution may also face related charges, such as solicitation, human trafficking, or drug-related offenses if drugs are involved.
Sex Offender Registration: In certain circumstances, prostitution-related convictions can require registration as a sex offender, which can significantly impact your life and future prospects.

Defenses Against Prostitution Charges

Some potential defenses against prostitution charges in Maryland may include:

Lack of Evidence: The prosecution must be able to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If there is insufficient evidence to support the charges against you, your attorney may be able to challenge the case.
Entrapment: If you can indicate that law enforcement officers coerced or induced you into committing the crime, entrapment may be a valid defense.
Mistaken Identity: If there is confusion or a case of mistaken identity, your attorney can present evidence to show that you were not the person engaged in prostitution.
Constitutional Violations: If your rights were violated at the time of the arrest or investigation process, evidence obtained unlawfully may be suppressed in court.
Lack of Intent: Prostitution charges may require the prosecution to prove that you intended to engage in prostitution. It may serve as a defense if you show that you did not have the requisite intent.
Diversion Programs: In some cases, especially for first-time offenders, diversion programs may allow individuals to complete community service or counseling instead of facing traditional criminal penalties.

“Mr. Hall saved us!”
A criminal charge is never expected by most families. The urgency, seriousness, and despair can be understood only by the people or their families who had that experience. My son was charged with a misdemeanor which had never been imagined based on his school life. Mr. Hall was strongly recommended by my trusted colleague’s spouse who is also an attorney. With a wish to grab a straw in the middle of a miserable feeling, I left a message to his staff member, a nice lady, who had always been kind and calm. He called me back in the afternoon on the same day. My first impression of him was his confidence without hesitation and knowledge. He explained the process in detail, and we met after a week. I was surprised by his insight about the key aspects of the case and whom he should contact. To me, he had eyes seeing the whole picture from above and more than a sufficient network to get the necessary information and help in my county. Moreover, he showed understanding and emotional support, which is, I believe, a rare skill to the professional who deals with the law. He treated us as respectful human beings. He told us that there was a chance that my son could receive a stet, but the verdict was leaning toward PBJ in the process. On the court day, the final verdict my son recieved was stet! A miracle happened to us. Mr. Hall did not give up the possibility of stet and tried his every effort during the painful five weeks and even in court. Like an excellent pilot in severe turbulence when passengers can have no control, Mr. Hall persistently and nicely maneuvered our case so we could survive the worst experience in our lives. My wife and I sincerely appreciate Mr. Hall for saving my son’s future and us. If my friends ask me, I will strongly recommend him without any reservations.

“Excellent Attorney, appropriate price, not guilty.”
William Hall provided phenomenal personal service at a reasonable rate on a very nasty speeding ticket. His representation resulted in a Not Guilty, which is always the preferred outcome. As an out of state offender attending my court date was not possible. He is a gentleman and conducts his business accordingly. I am certain he has clients that are more lucrative and yet I felt like a priority. Best attorney experience I have had and I have had a few.
“Very pleased with the outcome!!”
“He helped educate me on the process and got me out of a sticky situation.”

“Best DUI/DWI Lawyer..HANDS DOWN!! Mr. Hall is a ROCKSTAR! (WORTH THE READ)”
Honestly, HIRE HIM ASAP! I was a complete mess after my arrest since this was my 3rd DUI arrest but Mr. Hall is super easy going and put my mind at ease. There were some grey areas in my case and I did not blow or take the field tests but I was still expecting some probation, community service and having to wear the ankle bracelet for an amount of time but that wasn't the case! Mr. Hall walked in there like the Zorro of lawyers and tore my case apart. Slicing and dicing the prosecution providing more than enough reasonable doubt in my case that the judge had no other choice to find me NOT GUILTY! I can't recommend him enough!! Don't think about it, JUST HIRE HIM!! Thanks again, Mr. Hall!!!

“Ocean City Assault”
Mr. Hall took on a very difficult case where I was looking at active time for an incident in Ocean City. Because of his hard work and skill, and his knowledge of the judge and prosecution, I walked away with no conviction. I strongly urge you to call Mr. Hall for any of you legal needs.

“Gladly and highly recommend William Hall”
Mr. Hall helped me to get out of a tough DWI case. When I first visited Mr. Hall, he was very attentive to my concerns, and immediately made me feel comfortable. In spite of an unfortunate situation, his help proved extremely positive throughout the whole process. I was a nervous wreck and he made me feel hopeful and let me know that he will be able to help me. On court day, he was diligent and I could feel the respect he has gained from both the judicial officials and the prosecutor. I am eternally grateful for his advise - he will help anyone who needs legal representation. He is a caring, knowledgeable, and experienced attorney.

“Highly Recommended”
I contacted William Hall to see if he could do a modification on all 5 of my sentences. He returned my letter and set up a meeting with me and said he would take the case. Mr. Hall took my case when all other lawyers told me I had no chance of get my sentence modified. After hiring him he had me a court date within 6 months which is unheard of, he had my 5 sentences modified and out of a very tough place in 6 months. I will always be grateful to him for all his hard work and staying in contact with me and my family through out the whole process!! He was honest with everything he could do and would do. I recommend him to everyone I know that needs any legal advice!! William Hall is by far the best lawyer I have ever hired!!!
