Connecticut General Statutes § 53a-82 Prostitution
Section 53a-82 makes it unlawful for any person eighteen years of age or older to engage, agree to engage, or offer to engage in sexual conduct for a fee. The offense applies whether the act is completed or merely solicited, emphasizing that the exchange of sexual conduct for money itself constitutes the violation. A first offense is classified as a Class A misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to one year in jail, a fine of up to $2,000, or both.
