What is Prostitution?

Prostitution is considered the act of engaging in sexual activity in exchange for money or other types of compensation. It is considered a criminal offense in the state of Tennessee. This offense encompasses various activities related to prostitution, including:

  • Offering Sexual Services: The act of offering sexual services in exchange for money or other objects of value is a clear violation of prostitution laws in Tennessee. This includes soliciting sexual services from others.
  • Operating a Brothel: Owning, managing, or operating a brothel or any place where prostitution activities occur is illegal in the state.
  • Patronizing Prostitution: It is also a crime to pay for sexual services. Individuals who solicit or pay for sexual acts can face criminal charges.

What are the Penalties for Prostitution in Tennessee?

It's essential to understand the potential consequences you may face if charged with prostitution in the state of Tennessee:

  • Misdemeanor Charges: In many cases, prostitution offenses are considered misdemeanors. A conviction for a misdemeanor prostitution offense can result in fines, probation, and a permanent criminal record.
  • Felony Charges: Under certain circumstances, such as operating a brothel or promoting prostitution, the charges may be elevated to felonies. Felony convictions can lead to more severe penalties, including significant fines and lengthy prison sentences.
  • Public Shame: A prostitution conviction can carry a social stigma that can negatively impact your personal and professional life. It may harm your reputation and lead to the loss of employment opportunities.
  • Registration as a Sex Offender: In some instances, prostitution convictions may require registration as a sex offender, which can have long-lasting consequences on your life.

Defenses Against Prostitution Charges

Some possible defenses against prostitution charges may include:

  • Lack of Evidence: If there is insufficient evidence to prove that you engaged in prostitution, we may be able to argue for the charges to be dropped.
  • Entrapment: If law enforcement officers used entrapment techniques to induce you into committing a prostitution-related offense, this can be a valid defense.
  • Mistaken Identity: If there is reasonable doubt regarding your involvement in prostitution due to mistaken identity, this can be used as a defense.
  • Constitutional Violations: We may challenge the legality of the arrest or search that led to the prostitution charges, citing violations of your constitutional rights.
  • Lack of Intent: In some cases, you may have engaged in the alleged activities without the intent to commit prostitution. We can argue that there was no criminal intent.
