Fort Lauderdale Prostitution/Lewd Acts Lawyers

At Musca Law we offer outstanding criminal defense for anyone facing allegations of prostitution or lewd acts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Prostitution is prevalent throughout the state of Florida and is typically associated with the crime of human trafficking, often referred to as sex trafficking. Many people do not realize that there are many illegal underground brothels throughout South, Southwest and Southeast Florida. Just recently federal prosecutors busted a prostitution ring that had kidnapped girls from outside of the state as young as 14 to work as sex slaves. Law enforcement, state prosecutors and federal prosecutors are well aware of the damage caused by prostitution and will fight zealously to keep it off the streets.

Alternative Sentencing for Prostitution in Florida

Prostitution is often associated with lewd acts as it is an inappropriate sexual encounter for sexual gratification by one or both parties, which is illegal. Prostitution and lewd acts may be charged as sex crimes at the state or federal level depending on the severity of the crime and if the crime branched across state lines. Florida sentencing guidelines allow for some individuals facing prostitution and/or lewd acts charges to undergo alternative sentencing such as treatment that may involve drug rehabilitation, job placement, psychological counseling and group therapy. The state and federal criminal court system would rather make an effort to keep prostitutes and those committing lewd acts off the streets in the future through this type of intervention.
