Massage Parlor Legal Question

I have a question regarding massage parlors. If an individual received a genital massage and was not arrested at the scene, can this person still be arrested days later or issued a summons to appear in court based on charges of solicitation? I am concerned because someone I know had this type of massage and was not arrested, but noticed that a detective car seemed to be following and later turned into the local police department. The individual was not arrested or pulled over, but is a little concerned. It has been 27 days and he has heard nothing. He may just be paranoid, because it was probably just coincidence.

Based on your legal experience, are arrests usually made on the spot for these types of situations in things such as raids and stings, or can a summons be issued later, given there is evidence? Thanks!

If a Summons was not issued on the scene and has not been issued to date, I would not be inviting the issuance of a summons by contacting the police department. I would be patient and not invite the issuance of the summons.

Depending upon the severity of the solicitation charge the statute of limitations is between one and five years, but I would think that your friend is no longer on the police radar. If there are any other questions about this I can be called at 800 273 7933.
