What Is Prostitution in California?

Prostitution is the act of engaging in sexual activity in exchange for payment. In California, it is a crime to engage in or offer sexual activity with another person in exchange for money, goods, or other compensation. This crime is known as pimping, and it is also a crime to solicit another person to engage in prostitution.

In California, a prostitute is commonly referred to as a pimp. A pimp solicits customers, transports prostitutes to and from work, collects payment from prostitutes, and provides protection and resources to prostitutes. It is also a crime to be a prostitute or pimp if you are under 18 years old.

How Does the Prosecution Build a Case Against You?

If you are charged with prostitution, the prosecution will try to build a case against you by using the testimony of their witnesses and the evidence they collect. The prosecution will likely try to use the testimony of undercover police officers who posed as customers and solicited sex from you. They will also try to use the testimony of other prostitutes working with you during your arrest. The prosecution may also try to use the testimony of your customers to establish that you were working as a prostitute.

The prosecution may use the evidence of money, condoms, and other items found on your person or in your car to show that you were engaging in prostitution. They may also try to use the evidence of text messages and phone calls to show that you were arranging to meet customers for prostitution.
