Can The Police Arrest An Escort?

Many people try to associate escort services with prostitution. The truth is escorts have nothing to do with prostitution. People pay escorts for companionship and not for sex. This makes it different from the business of prostitution. Prostitutes request for payment in exchange for sex.

Are Escorts Legal?

People are free to demand payment for anything they do with their time. It doesn’t matter what you do. However, the law is clear on activities like prostitution. If you want to get paid for anything, you are free so far you are not offering sex for cash. This lays the foundation of if the police can arrest an escort or not.

It is true that two adults who decide to have consensual sex are not committing any crime but if it is done with an agreement that cash will be exchanged, it becomes illegal. When meeting a client as an escort and during your time together everything goes well and you have sex, it is legal. The problem is if a client offers to pay for sex during the date, it then changes the whole arrangement. If the escort agrees to collect the money in exchange for sex, she will be committing a crime.  Then the police can arrest an escort.

Escorts are paid for the time they spend with you and you can sleep with them only if it is consensual. It is important to also note that the crime of prostitution is not only limited to intercourse. Doing other sexual favors like paying for oral sex, naked cuddling, and even masturbation in exchange for cash is a crime under the law.

An escort can be arrested by the police if they engage in any activity that borders around prostitution. Offering to pay and accepting payment for sex is criminal. The criminal law in most countries has a penalty for people who are engaged in prostitution.

If an escort is caught and evidence shows that there was an offer for paid sex, she will be arrested. The police will need to have information that money has been passed and sexual favors rendered for them to have a case against an escort.

On a final note, it is important to state that escort services are legal and is not the same as prostitution. Usually, busy people who do not have time for social activities take advantage of escort services. They usually hire escorts just to keep their company and to make them have a great time. This does not mean that escorts have not been intimately involved with their clients. They are allowed to do what they want since they are of legal age. The only thing is that they can not accept payment for sex.

Some escorts have fallen into the hands of undercover cops who disguise as clients. When a client asks for sex or makes an offer to have sex with a promise to pay, the person may be a police officer looking to get evidence that the escort is engaged in prostitution. This is why some escorts become suspicious of clients when sex is mentioned during the date.

It is not illegal in any country to be an escort, it only becomes a crime when prostitution sets in.
