Solicitation is now a felony?
Az family reports.
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Arizona enacted a new law that makes soliciting prostitution a felony offense and imposes jail time.
The law requires that a person convicted of soliciting prostitution pay a $200 fine, funds that will go toward services for sex trafficking survivors.
Offenders will have to serve 15 days in jail for a first violation of soliciting prostitution. A person convicted of four or more violations will need to serve 180 days in jail and is guilty of a Class 4 felony.
Courts are now also required to seal all records for victims of sex trafficking whose convictions have been overturned.
