The Forms of Soliciting a Prostitute 招嫖的几种形式
The specific intent is demonstrated by some conduct which confirms the soliciting, such as:
1. Withdrawing money from the ATM
2. Driving to a hotel room where the sex will take place
3. Having the prostitute enter your car
In California, a person can still be charged even if they never go through with the sexual act. Soliciting for prostitution is primarily a crime of words that can include the prostitute, the client, and any intermediary (such as a pimp) involved in the attempted transaction. Below is an example of a transaction:
警察钓鱼执法举例:
Mary is an undercover police officer involved in a sting operation posing as a street walker in downtown Los Angeles. Tom, a tourist from Utah, approaches Mary and engages her in a conversation. During the conversation, Tom offers Mary $300 to accompany him to his hotel room to have sex. He shows her the money and they both walk to his hotel. Tom will likely be arrested for soliciting prostitution because his words and his behavior demonstrate an intent to have sex with Mary in exchange for money.
