| Escorting without a permit is a Los Angeles Municipal Code violation that is charged in connection to an arrest for prostitution. Los Angeles Municipal Code section 103.107 states that "[n]o person shall conduct, manage or carry on any escort bureau without a written permit from the Board." No escorting permit will be issued to the individual unless the Board is furnished with satisfactory evidence of the good moral character of such escort. Vice officers frequently arrest females and charge them with escorting without a permit and prostitution. The defendant's classified or Internet advertisement is used as circumstantial evidence of her intent to engage in an act of escorting without a permit and/or prostitution. |
