Prostitution and solicitation are both misdemeanors in California. For a first prostitution or solicitation offense, potential penalties will include a minimum mandatory fine of $1000 and up to 6 months in county jail. Oftentimes, a judge will impose a 12-month underlying sentence and suspend that sentence in lieu of a probation contract. As long as that person satisfies all the terms of the probation contract, they will not need to serve the time in custody.
Having your charges reduced to a crime that is listed under a different penal code (a non prostitution-related offense) may allow you to avoid the damage to your personal and professional life and reputation that a prostitution conviction could create.
