Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Georgia

Answer

Someone posted a question about the limits of escorting. An attorney rejected it. Maybe the attorney rejected it on accident or was concerned that any answer would help further a crime. No attorney can ethically give advice on how to further criminal activity. However, attorneys can tell you what is legal to keep you from committing crimes. This is why I am posting this answer.

The Georgia Code states "A person commits the offense of prostitution when he or she performs or offers or consents to perform a sexual act, including but not limited to sexual intercourse or sodomy, for money or other items of value." � 16-6-9. Prostitution

Pimping should also be of concern to an escort agency. Here is the definition of pimping.

� 16-6-11. Pimping

A person commits the offense of pimping when he or she performs any of the following acts:

(1) Offers or agrees to procure a prostitute for another;

(2) Offers or agrees to arrange a meeting of persons for the purpose of prostitution;

(3) Directs or transports another person to a place when he or she knows or should know that the direction or transportation is for the purpose of prostitution;

(4) Receives money or other thing of value from a prostitute, without lawful consideration, knowing it was earned in whole or in part from prostitution; or

(5) Aids or abets, counsels, or commands another in the commission of prostitution or aids or assists in prostitution where the proceeds or profits derived there from are to be divided on a pro rata basis.

I hope this answers the question for the person who posted it.
