It was snowing this weekend and I was driving back from the Detroit Lions game. They lost again!!! Anyway I was in Detroit and there was a woman on the side of the road that looked stranded. She did not look like a prostitute even though it was Detroit. I have a great job and never engage in services for prostitution. She asked for a ride and a Detroit Police Officer behind me stopped me as soon as she got in my car. He told me she was a prostitute and that I was going to get arrested for Offer to Engage the act of Prostitution!!!! What is Offer to Engage and what does offer to Engage in Detroit mean???
Can you get me out of it?? Can you help???
Fred,
The situation you are referring to in your question of Offer to Engage is very common and happens a lot more often than you think. I handle offer to engage charges in 36th District Court in Detroit frequently and will be able to help you on your offer to engage charge. If you look through some of our past blog posts the criminal defense attorneys at Canu Torrice Law have answered many questions regarding offer to engage and solicitation of a prostitute.

The City of Detroit charges people with offer to engage rather frequently because they make a lot of money of off people just like yourself because they can charge an arm and a leg to get your car our of forfeiture and the fine associated with the offer to engage / solicitation of a prostitute charge not to mention the possibility of a 45 day minimum jail sentence if you are convicted.
Since you have a very strong argument to have your offer to engage charges dropped I would strongly suggest that you contact the criminal defense attorneys at Canu Torrice Law for a free consultation so we can further discuss your offer to engage charge.
You can call us 24 hours a day, seven days a week if you have any questions about an offer to engage / solicitation of a prostitute charge you have received.
