Where can i find a hooker

Don't ask me how "Leading sugar dating website, SugarSugar, managed to gets its SugarSugar Dating App through Apple's Puritan application wall, but the company claims that it's "an innovative mobile application for locating singles interested in the 'sugar' lifestyle'" will be out on June 1st.

OK. And, what the heck is a "sugar" lifestyle. I'm glad you asked. According to the site, it's "for generous men looking to spoil, and dynamic women looking for financial support with bills, or who just need some excitement in life!" Ah., OK, prostitution in other words. Or, I suppose you could look it as a try-out system for would-be mistresses.

There's nothing new about the world's oldest profession being online. Sure, over-zealous prosecutors managed to chase Craigslist out of the adult services business. So what? I see that another online classified ad site, Backpage, is now offering adult services ads. Anyone want to bet me that if Backpage is hammered in the same way Craigslist was there will be yet another online general purpose ad site with adult services ads up and running before the day is out?

And, of course, there's AshleyMadison, the infamous or well-known depending on how you look at it, site for married people to find others to have affairs with. Yes, there is an app for AshleyMadison.

But, to the best of my knowledge there's never been an app. for escorts before. The company claims that "The new, location-based app is designed to provide Sugar Daddies and Sugar Babies with a quick, effective and discreet way to locate one another as they go about their every-day lives."

Boy, doesn't that put everyone's worries about Apple's Locationgate mess into a whole new light! Congress, given the record of politicians and women of negotiable virtue should pay particular attention.

The company claims that "The SugarSugar Dating App will be available for download on June 1st through SugarSugar.com and iTunes, and will be compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Android, and BlackBerry devices. The app will use GPS technology to instantly identify those seeking 'mutually beneficial' arrangements within the user's vicinity. After 'checking in, the application will map out the profiles of nearby members. Users will be able to trade stats, show photos or send messages to arrange an effortless rendezvous."

I should have seen this coming. Location-based software plus smartphone plus lust equals this application. And, all the efforts of police, outraged prosecutors seeking election to a higher office, and even Apple won't be able to stop it.

No. Arizona law makes it a crime to knowingly engage in prostitution (ARS 13-3214), which is trading sexual favors for money or something of value. It is also a crime to solicit prostitution, which is offering or agreeing to trade sex acts for money or something of value. Prostitution is usually a class 1 misdemeanor, and there is a mandatory 15-day jail sentence for a first-time offense.

What is prostitution under ARS 13-3214?

Under Arizona law, prostitution is defined as knowingly engaging in sexual conduct with another person in exchange for money or any other valuable consideration. State law does not explicitly forbid solicitation of prostitution – which is offering or agreeing to engage in an act of prostitution. But many local ordinances do make solicitation a criminal violation of prostitution laws.

Note that the sex can be any kind of sexual act, such as vaginal sex, oral sex, anal sex, groping, or BDSM. And the valuable consideration can be not only money but also things or favors, such as a landlord agreeing to waive rent if the tenant submits to sex.1

See our related article on the crime of pandering (ARS 13-3209), which is encouraging or coercing someone to engage in prostitution. Note that pandering is different from pimping (ARS 13-3204), which is receiving the earnings of a prostitute. Pandering is also different from keeping or residing in a house of prostitution (ARS 13-3208).

Can I go to jail for prostitution in Arizona?

Yes, a prostitution conviction carries a mandatory minimum of jail time in Arizona.

Note that child prostitution is always a class 2 felony. If the minor was ages 15 to 17, defendants may be eligible for probation with a 180-day jail term that could be reduced to 90 days upon completion of counseling. Otherwise, prostitution with a minor carries prison. In addition, child prostitution carries sex offender registration whereas prostitution between two consenting adults does not carry sex offender registration.

How do I fight the charges?

There are many possible ways a criminal defense lawyer can fight prostitution charges in Arizona. Depending on the available evidence, five common defense arguments include the following:

1. There was no trade of sex for money. Perhaps any money that changed hands had nothing to do with the sex. Unless the D.A. can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any payment was for sexual favors, the charge should be dropped.
2. No solicitation occurred. Perhaps there was a genuine misunderstanding where somebody believed he/she was being solicited for prostitution, but the defendant honestly did not mean to solicit. If prosecutors fail to prove that the defendant knowingly offered or agreed to engage in prostitution, the criminal case should not stand.
3. The defendant was entrapped. Police officers are allowed to go undercover as hookers or johns and perform “stings” in attempt to catch other hookers and johns in the act of solicitation. But law enforcement is not allowed to entrap suspects, which means to trick someone into committing a crime he/she was not predisposed to. If the defense attorney can show that the police threatened or otherwise coerced the defendant into soliciting prostitution, the prostitution case should be dismissed on the basis of entrapment.3
4. The defendant was a sex trafficking victim. Defendants who committed prostitution as a direct result of being a sex trafficking victim are not held criminally liable.
5. The defendant was falsely accused. Perhaps someone levied false allegations against the defendant out of revenge, anger, or a misunderstanding. Perhaps the defense attorney can impeach the accuser’s credibility and reveal his/her motivation to lie. As long as a reasonable doubt exists as to the defendant’s guilt, the case should be dismissed.
