Prostitution Lawyer in Columbus
ORC § 2907.22
Definition of Prostitution
- Engaging in sexual activity for hire
Overview
While Former Ohio law forbade any promiscuous intercourse, today, there must be pay involved in order for the activity to be illegal. However, today’s law is more far-reaching in the sense that it forbids any sexual activity and not just intercourse. Notably, only a prostitute can be convicted under this Ohio Law and not a customer; however, a customer may be convicted of complicity. Recent efforts of the Ohio judicial system
Potential Penalties
Prostitution is a misdemeanor of the third degree and is penalizable of up to 60 days in jail and a penalty of up to $500. Recent efforts of Ohio judges have been made to rehabilitate people convicted of prostitution instead of penalizing it.
