Omaha Sex Crimes

Solicitation of Prostitution:

In Omaha, it is illegal to solicit another person to perform sexual acts for money or something else of value. The offense is punishable by jail and a fine:

• Solicitation of prostitution, first offense:
• Class 1 misdemeanor
• 1 year jail, maximum
• $1,000 fine, maximum, or both
• $250.00 fine, mandatory minimum
• Probation: discretion of the court
• Mental health and substance abuse assessment

• If one or more prior convictions exist:
• Class IV felony
• $500 fine, minimum
• Mental health and substance abuse assessment  §28.801.01

It is not uncommon for an offender to underrate the significance of a solicitation of prostitution arrest – especially a first offense. It is important to realize that a misdemeanor conviction will always remain on your permanent criminal record. This means that the information will be available to anyone who obtains a background search. A misdemeanor conviction for solicitation of prostitution may prevent you from entrance into the college of your choice. It may also prevent you from obtaining a promotion at work and in some cases it may be grounds for termination. Certain professional memberships require regular updates and you will be required to report a conviction.
