2. To solicit, induce, entice, or procure another to commit an act of lewdness, assignation, or prostitution, with himself or herself;
3. To reside in, enter, or remain in any house, place, building, or other structure, or to enter or remain in any vehicle, trailer, or other conveyance with the intent of committing an act of prostitution, lewdness, or assignation; or

Misdemeanor v Felony
While engaging in prostitution is in and of itself a misdemeanor, there are certain factors that could allow the State to charge you with a felony. For example, if a person engages in prostitution within 1000 feet of a church or school, then the State can charge you with a felony. If this is the case the sentencing range changes from a maximum of one (1) year in the Tulsa County Jail to up to five (5) years in the Department of Corrections. This can also be the case if a person chooses to engage in prostitution with the knowledge that they have a sexually transmitted disease. Prostitution can also be charged as a felony if it involves a minor. Make sure you call us so that we can guide you through the process and fight for you and your rights.
