The city of Long Beach has a special team of investigators and police
officers that do nothing but prostitution crimes within the city limits. Once an
arrest is made the Long Beach City prosecutor may charge those involved in
solicitation, loitering and other crimes associated with the acquisition of sex
or sexual acts for money. Attorney Matthew Ruff attorney understands the
implications a conviction will have on a person's future and therefore leaves
no stone unturned to find a way to get criminal charges dropped in these
cases.
Call Mr. Ruff directly at (310) 527-4100 if you need aggressive representation
for any prostitution arrest including PC647(b), loitering with the intent to
engage in an act of prostitution or any other serious criminal offense.
The crime of solicitation of prostitution is codified in the Penal Code in
section 647(b), the law is as follows:
"Anyone who solicits or who agrees to engage in or who engages in any act
of prostitution is guilty of a crime. A person agrees to engage in an act of
prostitution when, with specific intent to so engage, he or she manifests an
acceptance of an offer or solicitation to so engage, regardless of whether the
offer or solicitation was made by a person who also possessed the specific
intent to engage in prostitution. No agreement to engage in an act of
prostitution shall constitute a violation of this subdivision unless some act, in
addition to the agreement, is done within this state in furtherance of the
commission of an act of prostitution by the person agreeing to engage in that
act. As used in this subdivision, “prostitution” includes any lewd act between
persons for money or other consideration."
The city of Long Beach and the municipality of Los Angeles aggressively
enforces and prosecutes the crime of prostitution and the solicitation thereof.
The offense is usually initiated by the police as part of some sting operation
commenced to catch and arrest those suspected of committing the offense.
In many instances, innocent passersby can be lured in to the sting operation
and find themselves being wrongfully accused of the act of soliciting a
prostitute.

exculpatory evidence such as audio tapes of the incident, video, notes, and
