It really is hard to believe. Generally speaking, crimes involving sexual offenses fall within the scope of Title 13, Chapter 14 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. If convicted of a sex crime, in most cases you are facing a felony conviction, potential prison, a possibility of LIFETIME probation, and registration as a sex offender. But, since prostitution with between consenting adults is not a sex crime, mandatory prison and registration as a sex offender do not apply. But, prostitution is still a crime.
