Patronizing Prostitution under CGS 53a-83 is a separate and distinct crime from Prostitution, which is codified in C.G.S. 53a-82. Patronizing Prostitution targets those individuals who solicit prostitutes or make arrangements to engage in sexual conduct with prostitutes in exchange for a sum of money. On the other hand, Prostitution per C.G.S. 53a-82 forbids anyone over the age of 16 to engage in sexual conduct to agree to engage in sexual conduct or offer or agree to engage in sexual conduct with another, in exchange for monetary compensation.
