As of November 1, 2023, most juveniles will no longer have to register as a sex offender and be eligible to seal their convictions. Law enforcement will start removing eligible people from the registry soon and mailing letters confirming they have been removed. If you receive a letter indicating that you have been removed from the registry, please contact our office for a free consultation to determine if you are eligible to seal your offense.

Aggressive Defense Against Prostitution Charges

Prostitution charges in Washington are sweeping and serious. Seattle specifically has its own municipal code prohibiting behaviors such as patronizing a prostitute or engaging in sex in return for money. Additionally, the Washington State Legislature has recently increased the penalties for and renamed the charge of patronizing a juvenile prostitute to commercial sexual abuse of a minor.

The Seattle Police Department regularly sets up sting operations on internet pages like craigslist.com, and many people have been arrested and charged in the process. A conviction for commercial sexual abuse of a minor can carry prison time, thousands of dollars in fines and the duty to register as a sex offender.

Why You Need Strong Legal Counsel

Authorities have become extremely aggressive in prosecuting prostitution-related charges as well as other sex crimes against adults and children. At the conclusion of the legal process, a criminal conviction on prostitution or prostitution solicitation charges can damage lives, reputations, and prospects for employment and housing. A conviction also carries significant immigration consequences.
