Whether a prostitution offense is a misdemeanor or a felony depends on a few different factors. In general, a prostitution charge or solicitation of prostitution charge is a Class 1 misdemeanor for the first few offenses. However, once a person has committed four or more subsequent violations, the charge is enhanced to a Class 5 felony with no chance of probation or the suspension of their sentence until the entirety of the sentence is serviced.
