Loudoun Sting Operation Virginia Prostitution Defense

Prostitution Sting Operation – Loudoun

Have you been charged with prostitution as a result of a sting operation in Virginia?

Virginia has a number of laws that outlaw prostitution.  If there is an offer of sex for money, this qualifies as prostitution.  Frequently, the police use sting operations in different counties in Virginia to target “Johns” and prostitutes alike.  If you have been charged with prostitution as a result of a sting operation, you are going to need an experienced criminal defense lawyer who has defended numerous prostitution cases.  The prosecutors in Virginia know that they can play hardball with defendants and do not hesitate to do so in court.  If you have been charged with prostitution or solicitation, then you too need an experienced Virginia criminal lawyer to defend you.  Keep in mind that most lawyers will tell you that all you face for a first offense is usually a fine and AIDS testing.  However, if you are like most of our clients, the fine is the least of your concerns.  You are more concerned about your reputation in the community and the prospect of your spouse finding out and possibly even losing your job.  For most of our clients, a mere conviction is a death knell.

Don’t wait to speak with a Virginia attorney if you have been caught in a police sting operation as a result of responding to a classified ad or been flagged down as you drive down the road.
