It is important for people to understand that is illegal just to ask a person to participate in prostitution — even if the person the accused spoke to is not a prostitute.
If a person agrees to pay for service, he or she may be charged with soliciting a prostitute. Solicitation is a second degree misdemeanor for the first charge, a first degree misdemeanor for the second and a third degree felony for a third or subsequent offense. If the sex worker the accused is charged with engaging with is a minor, then the charges go up one step. For instance, if the charge would have been a second degree misdemeanor, it would become a first degree misdemeanor if the sex worker is a minor.
The same charges that apply for customers of sex work apply for the sex workers themselves. If you are arrested and charged with offering any type of sexual services for money, you could be charged with a second degree misdemeanor for a first charge, first degree misdemeanor for a second and a third degree felony for a third charge or any conviction thereafter.
