Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Is female companion considered a prostitute and does the punishment for 2nd degree Misdemeanor relates to it as well?

My friend is not a US citizen, was not selling sex for money, just companionship on dinners, boats, social events in Miami, Florida. Can she be punished for it by the prostitution law if no sex was included? It is the first offence - will she get the time up to 60 days in jail?

An escort without sexual intercourse is not a crime. If it her first offense pretrial intervention is available and would reqiure a few hundred dollars, an AIDS test and a class. If she wants to fight these bogus charges you can call me 24/7. All My Best, Joe Vredevelt. 305.670.3119
