Some communities have a policy of making an example of Johns. If a community has this policy, there may be nothing our lawyers can do to prevent the community from doing so. At a minimum, our lawyers can alert you to what might happen. For example, if you know a summons will be mailed to your home, it may be possible for you to intercept the summons before your spouse sees it.
Prostitution is a class B misdemeanor in Missouri. However, if the person knew prior to performing the act of prostitution that he or she was infected with HIV, it is a class B felony, punishable by up to seven years in prison.
