1.  720 ILCS 5/11‑14 – prostitution
2. 720 ILCS 5/11‑14.1 – solicitation of a sex act
3. 720 ILCS 5/11‑14.3 – promoting prostitution
4. 720 ILCS 5/11‑14.4 – promoting juvenile prostitution
5. 720 ILCS 5/11‑15 – soliciting for a prostitute
6. 720 ILCS 5/11‑17 – keeping a place of prostitution

Getting arrested and charged with any of the above offenses can lead to embarrassment, humiliation and a permanent criminal record. Many of the crimes above can be charged as misdemeanor or felony crimes but can be difficult to prove and under the right circumstances, can be beaten and dismissed.
