Federal Prostitution and Human Trafficking Crimes
The federal government has its own laws regarding prostitution and human trafficking. Whether you are tried by the state of Kentucky or by the federal government depends on a number of factors, such as where your arrest happened, who arrested you, what evidence was found and what alleged crime was committed.
Most prostitution charges are handled by the Commonwealth, but if you are alleged to be trafficking sex workers, promoting the prostitution of children, promoting prostitution across state lines, using the internet, and so on, you can be charged with a violation of federal law and tried in federal court.
There are two Federal Districts in Kentucky, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky and the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Each District has a number of courthouses spread out throughout their geographical region of the state.
Federal prostitution and human trafficking crimes are serious and often carry heavier penalties in comparison to its state level counterparts. If federal charges have been filed against you, you need to call a trusted prostitution criminal defense attorney as soon as you can. Working with a seasoned criminal defense attorney who will defend and protect your rights against the government’s charges is the first step to building your defense and protecting your freedom.
