The Defendant was solicited for services from an internet ad for escorts. The solicitation was part of a coordinated law enforcement prostitution sting. The Defendant met an undercover officer at hotel in Osceola County and was given $250.00 of investigative funds to perform unnamed “acts”. After taking the money the Defendant began a strip tease/lap dance. Approximately forty seconds into her performance the “take down” team arrived and arrested the Defendant for Prostitution and Entering or Remaining in a Place for Prostitution. The attorney filed and argued a motion to dismiss alleging the undisputed facts did not establish a prima facie case of guilt against the defendant. The judge granted the motion and all charges against the defendant were dismissed.
