Prostitution is commonly referred to as a “victimless” crime. The “victim” is likely willing to take part in the crime. But that doesn’t mean that law enforcement condones prostitution or looks the other way. Florida law defines prostitution as “the giving or receiving of the body for sexual activity for hire.” Unless you’re married to the individual with whom you engaged in sexual activity, law enforcement will make a concerted effort, if you paid for the sexual activity, to ferret out your activity and charge you with a crime. A law enforcement official might pose as either a prostitute or as someone willing to purchase such services. If he or she is successful in luring you into illegal sexual activity, you will be charged. Unfortunately, these “sting” operations are perfectly legal and can be used against you in court.
