RUPERT ROLLE, APPELLEE
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLANT,
RUPERT ROLLE, APPELLEE
192 So. 3d 717
Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2016)
Opinion of the Court
The State challenges the trial court’s order holding unconstitutional section 796.07(6), Florida Statutes (2013), which imposes a mandatory civil fine of $5,000 for a violation of section 796.07(2)(f), Florida Statutes, prohibiting soliciting prostitution. We have previously held that the *718statutory fíne is constitutional. See State v. Jones, 180 So.3d 1085, 1090 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015); State v. Sookraj, 182 So.3d 886, 887 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016); State v. Trotman, 186 So.3d 43, 43 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016). Appellee’s attempts to distinguish these cases are meritless. We reverse and remand for imposition of the fíne.
