The state of North Carolina defines prostitution as the act of providing sexual services in exchange for money or other compensation. Prostitution is a misdemeanor if the defendant is a first-time offender, while repeat offenders can be charged with a felony. If you have been charged with prostitution or solicitation, it is important that you retain a capable and experienced lawyer right away.

What Are the Penalties for Prostitution in North Carolina?

Depending on the circumstances of the case and the defendant's prior record, prostitution charges can be either a misdemeanor or a felony. Those convicted of soliciting or engaging in prostitution may face probation, fines, time in jail, and other penalties. If the defendant is a repeat offender, the court may impose harsher penalties.

What Are the Penalties for Prostitution Involving a Minor in North Carolina?

The penalties for prostitution involving a minor will depend on the details of the situation. Offenders may be convicted of sex crimes or be charged with other crimes (such as human trafficking) if they orchestrated the minor’s involvement in prostitution. The minor involved will be considered a victim of a crime and will not face any criminal penalties.

What Are the Penalties for Human Trafficking in North Carolina?

Human trafficking is a serious crime. People who are convicted of this offense face severe penalties.
