If you have been arrested and charged with prostitution, you could be facing either a misdemeanor or felony charge. A first offense is usually filed as a misdemeanor, but the penalties can include up to 60 days in jail plus a $500 fine. If you have a prior conviction, you will be facing more severe penalties. Those who are deemed to be "repeat offenders" are going to suffer very heavy punishment if they have several convictions on their criminal record.
Under the current Florida Statutes Sections 996.03 -796.09, a third conviction of prostitution is usually filed as a felony. The punishments imposed by the court could include up to 5 years in state prison, and a fines as high as $5,000.
