Florida Prostitution Laws

Prostitution occurs when an individual trades sexual favors, sexual contact, or any of the like for money or other forms of compensation. A first offense may be charged as a second-degree misdemeanor, which can result in a jail term of up to 60 days, a maximum fine of $500, or both. The state charges a second offense as a first-degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by a term of imprisonment for up to one year, a fine up to $1,000, or both.

On the other hand, solicitation of prostitution – the acquisition or attempt to obtain sexual favors or contact by means of paying another person for prostitution services – is also a crime. Every customer convicted of a solicitation must complete 100 hours of community service, attend a prostitution and human trafficking awareness course, undergo screening for sexually transmissible diseases, and pay a $5,000 civil fine.
