Yes. Soliciting an act of prostitution is a crime, even if it's done in code.

To get a conviction, the prosecutor will have to prove that you made the call, that you were referring to a sex act and to money, that you reasonably believed the escort would understand your words the way you meant them, and that you actually intended to go through with it if she accepted.

If you've been charged or even arrested, you should get a lawyer ASAP.

Good luck.
