Facing Prostitution-Related Charges? Get Trial-Ready Defense Backed by Investigative Experience

A prostitution or solicitation accusation may begin with an arrest, a summons, or questions about messages and conduct investigated before you knew you were a target. Before answering investigators or trying to explain an exchange, get legal advice about the specific allegation and your constitutional rights.

We examine both the legal classification of the alleged conduct and how law enforcement gathered the evidence. Founding attorney Dave Flanagan brings nearly a decade of prior private-investigation experience involving surveillance and evidence evaluation to our trial-ready criminal defense approach.

Prostitution & Solicitation Charges Under Massachusetts Law

Prostitution-related allegations don’t all involve the same offense. Massachusetts General Laws chapter 272, section 53A addresses engaging, agreeing, or offering to engage in sexual conduct for a fee. It separately addresses paying, agreeing to pay, or offering to pay for that conduct.

Other statutes cover allegations such as soliciting for a person engaged in prostitution or receiving support from another person’s prostitution earnings. The statute listed on the complaint matters because each offense has distinct elements that the Commonwealth must prove.

A case may involve allegations that a person:

• Engaged or offered to engage: The person allegedly engaged, agreed, or offered to engage in sexual conduct for a fee.
• Paid or offered payment: The person allegedly paid, agreed to pay, or offered to pay another person for sexual conduct.
• Solicited for another person: The person allegedly sought business for someone engaged in prostitution.
• Shared in another person’s earnings: The person allegedly received support from or shared money connected to another person’s prostitution.

Potential penalties and defense options depend on the charged statute, alleged facts, available evidence, and the person’s prior record. We review the charging paperwork before explaining what the Commonwealth must prove and what the next stage of the case may involve.

How a Prostitution Defense Lawyer Reviews the Evidence

An accusation isn’t proof that an agreement occurred or that a communication meant what investigators claim. Context can be critical when a case relies on text messages, online conversations, recorded exchanges, payment records, or brief interactions interpreted by police.

Discovery is the evidence exchanged in a criminal case, including police reports, recordings, witness statements, and digital communications. As those materials become available, we evaluate them with trial in mind rather than assuming the initial police narrative is complete.

Our review may address:

• Whether the alleged words or actions satisfy every element of the charged offense
• Whether messages and recordings are complete and accurately interpreted
• Whether witness accounts are consistent with other available evidence
• Whether police obtained statements, devices, or records lawfully
• Whether reports accurately describe the sequence of events

No single defense applies to every case. We tailor our analysis to the charge, police conduct, communications, witnesses, and procedural history involved.
