How Washington Defines Solicitation of Prostitution

Washington defines a prostitute as anyone who engages or even agrees to engage in sexual conduct with another person in return for payment.

Solicitation is defined as an attempt to do the following to engage in sexual activity for a fee:

  • Persuade
  • Entice
  • Convince
  • Invite

Can I Be Charged with Solicitation Even If the Transaction Did Not Occur?

Yes, you can be charged with solicitation of prostitution in Kitsap County even if the act did not take place. The law criminalizes the offer, agreement, or attempt to engage in prostitution, not necessarily the completion of the transaction.

Penalties for Solicitation of Prostitution in Washington

Solicitation of prostitution is a criminal offense in Washington that carries significant penalties, especially if convicted. Both prostitution and solicitation of a prostitute are charged as misdemeanors in Washington which could carry penalties of up to 90 days in jail and up to $1,000 in fines.

However, there are circumstances in which solicitation of prostitution may be charged as a felony. If you are accused of soliciting prostitution involving a minor, using force or threats, or engaging in other aggravating circumstances, the charge may be escalated to a felony. 

Felony solicitation of prostitution carries much harsher penalties, including:

  • A prison sentence of several years, depending on the circumstances.
  • Fines of up to $10,000 or more.
  • Mandatory registration as a sex offender.
  • A permanent criminal record, severely impacting your future opportunities.

Felony solicitation of prostitution is a serious charge, and it requires an aggressive defense from a skilled Kitsap County solicitation lawyer. If convicted, the impact on your life can be long-lasting and extremely detrimental.
