Arizona Solicitation Laws & Penalties

In Arizona, solicitation of prostitution occurs when someone offers money or something of value in exchange for another person to engage in a sex act with them. Those who are accused of solicitation are penalized based upon their number of offenses in order to deter repeated actions from first- and second-time offenders. A first-time offense for solicitation of a prostitute is considered a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum jail sentence six months and a fine of up to $2,500.

In addition to being charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor, those charged are also penalized with the following minimum mandatory jail sentences:

  • First offense – 15 consecutive days in jail
  • Second offense – 30 consecutive days in jail
  • Third offense – 60 consecutive days in jail

If you’ve been convicted of solicitation more than three times, then you can be charged with a Class 5 felony. This type of felony is punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 180 days.
