New Hampshire Solicitation Charges Lawyer
Facing Solicitation Charges in NH?
It is illegal in the state of New Hampshire to solicit another person for the purpose of engaging in a crime. In relation to sex offenses, solicitation generally applies to the crime of prostitution. New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated §645:2 defines solicitation as a misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $2,000. Along with these penalties, an offender may also face lifetime sex offender registration that limits where they can live and work.
