A man is driving downtown when he notices some women congregated on a street corner. He pulls up and realizes they are prostitutes. He decides to pick one up and does so. Once the transaction is arranged the prostitute informs him that she is an undercover officer and he is under arrest for solicitation of prostitution. At trial he argues entrapment. Should this defense succeed?
Yes, seeing the undercover officer put the notion of picking her up in his mind.
Yes, he did not set out that night intending to pick up a prostitute.
No, there is nothing abnormal about seeing and being able to pick up a prostitute.
No, entrapment is never a defense for solicitation of prostitution.
