The short answer to your question is yes one can be arrested. The question is whether they can convict. The state would need to prove Intent to commit a crime or in your case whether you had knowledge or should have known a crime would be committed.

Yes. Not only can he be arrested, he can also be convicted if the prosecutor can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he knew that the escorts were committing prostitution. The contract would be relevant evidence, but a jury could believe that the contract was a sham and that the driver was well aware of what was going on.
