About Prostitution Offenses in New York

Engaging in, agreeing to or offering sexual acts for money describes prostitution under New York law. This offense is a Class B Misdemeanor, punishable by up to 3 months imprisonment. More serious charges and penalties apply if a person is accused of promoting a prostitute, which would involve soliciting customers for a prostitute or prostitutes and making money off their business. Forcing or intimidating another person into prostitution is a felony sex crime, and if the victim is less than 16 years of age a defendant may face up to 25 years imprisonment.

Facing criminal charges of any kind is difficult. Attempting to face these alone and without experienced legal counsel is a virtually hopeless situation, and in doing so you open yourself to facing maximum penalties allowed by law. Although you may have been arrested for prostitution and may currently be facing misdemeanor or felony charges for this offense, you do have the right to legal counsel. By taking full advantage of this right, you can successfully avoid imprisonment, fines, and other penalties for a New York prostitution conviction.
