Dallas Solicitation Defense Attorney
Have You Been Arrested for Solicitation?
Sex crimes are very serious charges; as such, prosecutors are aggressive when securing a conviction for a charge such as solicitation. Anytime someone faces a solicitation or sex crime charge, they already carry a stigma and a damaged reputation, even before the trial begins.
What Is Criminal Solicitation?
The law defines solicitation as encouraging someone to take part in illegal activity, such as prostitution or another form of a sex crime. Solicitation of a prostitute is often charged against those who are seeking out or have already made an agreement to take part in prostitution.
These are the elements of solicitation charges:
- The defendant has made a request for the other person to engage in criminal behavior
- The defendant has the intention of engaging in criminal behavior with another person
In other words, prosecutors must prove that you were making a request of another person to get involved and had every intention of completing the request. It is in these elements where our Dallas sex crime attorney can challenge the evidence or the claims that the defendant had knowledge of or was involved in the act. In some cases, it may be possible to get the charges dropped if the accused stated that he or she had no intention of committing a crime.
