Victimless Non-Violent Sex Offenses Attorney in Kentucky

Prostitution, Pandering, Solicitation

Prostitution, solicitation, pandering, and pimping are either felonies or misdemeanors in most states. Prostitution is defined as a person receiving payment for sexual intercourse or other sexual acts. Pimping is defined as soliciting acts of prostitution or pandering on behalf of another. Although frequently a misdemeanor, it is typically a crime to hire a person to perform sexual acts for payment.

A prostitution charge may be the result of a law enforcement sting operation, using police officer decoys to pose as prostitutes. In this instance, potential customers agreed to a price for a sexual act and are arrested. Some men caught in this situation have no prior record, want to keep the matter private, and do not want to go to trial to avoid potential adverse effects on their marriage, family, and employment.

If you have been caught in a prostitution sting operation, call (502) 237-0871 today to schedule a consultation with William M. Butler, Jr. to evaluate your interaction with undercover officers to determine your defense.

Indecent Exposure and Lewd Acts

Lewd acts, lascivious conduct, and indecent exposure may be charged as a misdemeanor in most states. These crimes may also involve pornography, engaging in sexual acts in a public place, or exposing the genitals in a public place.

Indecent exposure may be charged as a felony, which may require long-term registration as a sex offender or psychological treatment in some states. In these cases, a defense attorney, if contacted promptly, can interview all prosecution witnesses and other witnesses that may help in your defense. If your case cannot be defended, your lawyer may try to negotiate for psychological treatment instead of jail time.
