You Have Rights as an Entertainer or Dancer
Individuals who own or work in sexually oriented businesses are under continual scrutiny from law enforcement. In order to appear tough on sex crimes, law enforcement may actively look for minor violations of regulations such as the three-foot rule. To catch people violating these regulations, undercover police officers often visit strip clubs. If they use entrapment to make the arrest, we can argue that your constitutional rights were violated.
The Law Offices of Jed Silverman provides experienced criminal defense representation to sexually oriented business owners, strippers, exotic dancers, escorts and massage therapists. We work hard to protect your rights from overzealous police officers and prosecutors. For a free consultation with a Houston escort defense lawyer, please call (713) 226-8800 or contact us online.
Defending Dancers, Strippers, Escorts and Massage Therapists
Entertainers, dancers and strippers are required to follow numerous rules when performing. Any violation or perceived violation of these rules may result in an arrest.
- Three-foot rule violations — entertainers, strippers and dancers must maintain a distance of three feet from customers
- Touching a customer — entertainers, dancers and strippers are not allowed to have physical contact with customers
- Clothing violations — includes G-string violations and pasties not worn properly
- Alcohol violations — entertainers, dancers and strippers are not permitted to ask a customer to buy them drinks
Escorts and people who advertise certain massage services are also subject to police sting operations. Many of these people advertise on websites such as Craigslist. Police may pose as customers and make an arrest when an offer of sex for money is made. We represent escorts charged with prostitution as well as customers charged with online solicitation. You can rely on our aggressive defense as we protect your rights.
