In June of 2018, a man was arrested on charges of promoting prostitution after a University of North Texas student accused the man of pressuring her into performing sexual acts in exchange for money. Law enforcement investigated the case after initial reports were made in April 2018. The student reported that she communicated with the man on Kik, which is an instant messaging phone application. During conversations with this man, he pressured the student into having sex with another man and performing sexual acts in exchange for $3,000. In an attempt to negotiate, the student declined the man’s offer and sent nude photos as well as a sexual video. Later, when the man realized that the girl would not have sex for money, he threatened to create a website with the explicit photos and the girl’s phone number. Law enforcement later arrested the man.
The Texas Penal Code defines prostitution as exchanging money or anything of value in exchange for a sexual act. Not only can these charges result in hefty fines, they can also result in jail time. While the best way to avoid a prostitution charge is to not engage in prostitution, sometimes people make bad choices and end up facing these charges. One of the best things for a person facing a prostitution charge is to understand the various available legal defenses that can be raised in response.
