What is sexual solicitation?

Sexual solicitation refers to the act of requesting or enticing someone to engage in sexual activities or behavior in exchange for money, goods, services, or other favors. It is a form of sexual exploitation and is considered a criminal offense in many jurisdictions.

Sexual solicitation can occur in various forms, such as online through social media platforms or dating websites, in person on the street or in public places, or through commercial establishments like strip clubs or escort services. Individuals who engage in sexual solicitation may target vulnerable populations, such as minors or individuals experiencing homelessness or substance abuse issues.

It is important to recognize the signs of sexual solicitation and report any instances of it to the appropriate authorities. Victims of sexual solicitation may experience physical and emotional harm, as well as legal consequences if they are caught engaging in such activities.
