According to California Penal Code Section 647 (b): “A person agrees to engage in an act of prostitution when, with specific intent to so engage, he or she manifests an acceptance of an offer or solicitation to so engage, regardless of whether the offer or solicitation was made by a person who also possessed the specific intent to engage in prostitution.” Prostitution is usually charged as a misdemeanor.

In order to obtain a conviction, the prosecution must prove that the individual engaged in an act of prostitution and that he or she did so willfully.

According to California Penal Code Section 187 (a), “Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought.” Under California law, murder may be prosecuted in the first degree or second degree, first degree being the more serious of the two charges. Basically, all homicides that do not meet the definition of first-degree murder will be charged as second-degree murder. For example, if the victim does not die within one year after the attack, a second-degree murder charge may be filed. Some of the common defenses to second-degree murder charges include “heat of passion,” self-defense, and insanity or lack of mental capacity.

Any type of murder charge in Orange County can have serious consequences for the defendant. If convicted, he or she could end up facing life-altering consequences. Murder charges could result in the death penalty, life in prison without the possibility of parole, or 15 years to life in prison.

Huntington Beach police initiated an investigation last year when a woman reported that $24,000 had been stolen from her bank account. Police located the suspect through bank surveillance videos and linked the woman to similar incidents in Brea and Costa Mesa. In each case, she used identity theft to withdraw from the victim’s bank account, police said. Officials have made two other arrests and are looking for five other men who they say are part of the fraud ring. The woman has been charged with bank fraud in federal court.

Prosecutors allege that the defendant, with the intent to steal from the victim’s bank account, lured him to the Los Alamitos military base and shot and killed him there. He is also accused of dismembering the victim’s body. Prosecutors also say the man shot and killed the victim’s female friend, staging it to look like a sexual assault and murder. The man, a theater actor, was arrested at his own bachelor party in Huntington Beach, a day before his wedding.

Murder or homicide is an extremely serious charge with serious consequences. According to California Penal Code Section 187 (a): “Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought.” In addition to a murder charge, defendants may also face what are known as “sentencing enhancements” if the murder was premeditated or if it involved the use of a firearm. If convicted, defendants may face the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole, depending on whether the homicide is ruled as first degree murder, second degree murder, or a form of manslaughter.

According to California Penal Code Section 314, an individual who “exposes his person, or the private parts thereof, in any public place, or in a place where there are present other persons to be offended or annoyed thereby” is guilty of committing indecent exposure. To prove that a person committed indecent exposure or was involved in lewd conduct, the prosecutor must prove that the person knowingly and intentionally exposed himself, that he knew about the presence of others in the area, and that he intended to offend and/or annoy the people in the area.

Technicians spend their days and nights behind the screens that show signals transmitted by ankle bracelets or other tracking devices worn by those on probation. This is their new way of tracking probation violators in Orange County. It works like a “virtual noose” that tightens when someone makes a wrong move. For example, on a recent day, one of the technicians spotted a convicted sex offender in a local park and alerted police officers. This technology is somewhat foolproof. For instance, an alert sounds when someone tampers with their bracelet or does not change the battery on the device.

Wearing a GPS tracking device can be an additional consequence if you have been convicted of a sex crime in Orange County. Any criminal charge should be taken seriously and vigorously defended.
