Internet-based prostitution in Ohio

Is online payment for planned sexual contact between people of legal age that are both residents of Ohio? Where can I read more about these state laws?

Not only would the described conduct violate State criminal laws, it would be a violation of Federal law since it uses interstate communications devices (phone lines, ISP connections etc.)/

Good luck.

I agree; it is illegal under most state and federal laws. You'd both need to be in the few US locations where prostitution is legal for this to be legal.

Sex for money is prostitution, regardless of how or when the payment is made. There are no special laws against paying for sex electronically because the regular laws against prostitution cover such acts.
