I will be on the lease on apartment rental (another girl will be share space and rent but not on lease). Rent split 50/50; I am not living off her earnings. Am I operating a brothel( pimping and pandering) because partner is not on lease (thus not roommate)? Each girl books her own appointment; I am not living off her earnings.

probably best to post this in the legal board

It does not matter if it is you or 20 girls working out of the apartment. If you are busted and it is proved that YOU live there via the lease, you will also be charged with running a residence for the purpose of solicitation of prostitution as well as a solicitation for prostitution. It does not matter how many lady's are there or if you all share in the profits or not, YOU will be liable for that charge. The "keeping a residence charge" is a felony charge. The prostitution charge is a misdemeanor.

In most states, a felony charge will require a full cash bond. No 10%, no property bond. For that charge as well, for most states, be prepared to come out of pocket $5K plus processing fees. For the misdemeanor, you will be out of pocket about $500 plus fees.

Bottom line is if you run incall, whoever is on the lease can be charged with a more sever fine.

If you live in the place and are busted, you will face those two charges. It will be considered a brothel even if only one lady, you, are working there because as night rider indcated, the law will consider you are keeping that residence for the purpose of prostitution.

The surprising thing is, I bet many lady's don't or didn't know this fact. Its worst getting busted doing incall than out, but harder to set up an incall sting. But basically all a lady has to do to get busted and charged is open the door. Nothing has to occur. That doesn't mean the bust is good or a case can be made but tell that to a person trying to scrape up about $7K behind bars. Oh, bail bond places don't do cash only bonds as would be the case in the felony charge. Just something to consider.

Its not my intention to scare the pants off oan anyone but I just thought the facts should be known so you are not blind sided if heaven forbid, you are in this situation since the question was asked. As I've said before, 99% of the screening that lady's do or those warning/disclaimers on their sites are useless prtection from being arrested. The screening is great protection in case the guy turns out to be a creep, but wont stop LE from showing up or trying to bust you. It is legal for LE to lie. Remember that and talk to a lawyer about your rights. You may be surprised at what you find out but it also may be well worth the consultation fee.
