I can remember as a Prosecutor the old line was that Prostitution brought crime to the streets, lowered the value of neighborhoods, public safety, blah, blah, blah. However, NONE of that applies to the women who chose to “make themselves available” via ads on Backpage. Men, who are seeking companionship that surely they could find for free, prefer to cut through the chase and take a direct approach to satisfying their desires. Voila, backpage.

Maybe I  am a lone voice screaming “stop this insanity”, but I do not see the harm in a woman, or man, over 18, making the conscious decision to provide pleasure for money.

I am proud to fight these ridiculous Prostitution cases. If you have been charged with a Prostitution case in Houston, call my office today for a free consultation. I have a proven track record of fighting for my clients.
