Milwaukee Prostitution & Solicitation Attorney

Is Prostitution Legal in Wisconsin?

Engaging in the act of prostitution, or the sale of sexual favors for money or other items of value, is a misdemeanor criminal offense in Wisconsin. Solicitation of prostitution is also a crime and is punished in the same manner. If you have been charged with engaging in prostitution or purchasing sex from a prostitute, it is imperative you retain the services of a powerful criminal defense attorney who will unbiasedly defend your rights and freedom.

What are the Penalties for Prostitution in Wisconsin?

Both prostitution and soliciting prostitution are Class A misdemeanor offenses in Wisconsin – the most serious type of misdemeanor. A conviction of either can result in penalties of up to nine months in jail, fines up to $10,000, or both. If the alleged act of prostitution involved a minor, the charges can increase to a Class D felony and carry up to $100,000 in fines, up to 25 years in prison, and mandatory registration as a sex offender.

Prostitution charges can stem from any of the following acts:

  • Having, offering, or requesting sex in exchange for anything of value
  • Committing, offering, or requesting oral or anal sex for anything of value
  • Living in a known house of prostitution
  • Committing, offering, or requesting any sexual contact for anything of value
  • Masturbating a person, offering to masturbate a person, or requesting to be masturbated in exchange for anything of value

Charges of this nature can be extremely damaging and require tenacious representation in order to be successfully defended. If you are facing prostitution or solicitation charges, it is urgent you contact us as soon as possible to begin building your defense.
