Prostitution in Nashville, Tennessee is the crime of engaging in, or offering to engage in sexual activity as a business or being an inmate in a house of prostitution or loitering in a public place for the purpose of being hired to engage in sexual activity.http://nashvilleduiinfo.com
It is to say the least not an enjoyable moment when a client realizes that they have been caught
in a Nashville Craigslist sting for prostitution, (lately there have been many stings using the popular Craigslist). It is embarrassing, it can cost you a job, your automobile, and many other social repercussions. Some people have said to me from time to time that they thought, only the person selling sex can get in trouble, well that is incorrect in Tennessee. Nashville prostitution charges can carry a great many problems for clients, and the government does not care whether you arranged your prostitute by Craigslist or picked her up on the street, it is still the crime of patronizing prostitution.
The charge in Tennessee is called patronizing prostitution, it is a class B misdemeanor and can carry with it penalties, fines and jail time. Many people in Nashville who are charged with this crime do not realize that if you are within 100 hundred feet of a church and patronizing prostitution it becomes a class A misdemeanor and can carry with it 11 months and 29 days in jail. I might add that there is another boundary issue to consider in this charge. If you are within 1 and half miles of a school, it then becomes a class A misdemeanor and a mandatory 7 days in jail and a 1 thousand dollar fine.
There have been some arrests in Nashville for promoting prostitution, that is a class E felony and can carry a sentence in jail of 1 to 2 years. In Nashville there have been some local arrests due to promotion of prostitution through media prints via newspapers.
However, the vast majority of new prostitution stings have come via Craigslist and the internet in Nashville.

Police arrest a lot of people on craigslist lately, but does it really matter that people use craigslist to find prostitutes, what is the big deal really. I would rather the police chase bad guys and not people in Nashville looking for prostitutes on craigslist.
I dont think the other poster understands that with nashville prostitution comes crime, drug addiction, and ruined families. It really is not a victimless crime as some people say. I hope the craigslist stings keep happening, it serves people right for aiding in the continued sad world of prostitution in Tennessee.
Why not legalize it and tax it, it is going to happen no matter what happens. Craigslist is just a small fraction of how people find prostitutes. I just dont see the big deal with everything else happening in Tennessee.
