Hi Paul – Sorry to bother you. I am charging a case where a man traveled from out of state (and, on one occasion, from outside the country) to Palm Beach County to engage in prostitution with minors.¶
First question: The man clearly traveled in “foreign commerce” when he traveled from outside the U.S. directly to Palm Beach county, and he is a U.S. citizen. Do you think that we could charge 2423(c) even though the sexual activity occurred in the U.S.?¶
Second question: Do you know of anyone who has charged 2423(d)? The man’s personal assistant set up the appointments with the prostitutes and also was in charge of organizing his travel, so I think a 2423(d) charge is warranted. One question is whether we should charge a separate count for each trip? Or charge only one count covering the entire 18-month period of activity?¶
As always, thank you!¶
