"Actor Daniel Stern was charged Monday with soliciting a prostitute last month in Ventura County, with his criminal case scheduled to be heard Tuesday. Stern, 68, best known as Marv Murchins in the "Home Alone" movies and a wannabe cowboy in "City Slickers," was cited by Ventura County sheriff's deputies on Dec. 10 for allegedly soliciting a prostitute at a Camarillo hotel, according to officials. Stern was not arrested at the time but instead issued a citation by investigators."
"Prosecutors filed a single misdemeanor charge of engaging or agreeing to engage in prostitution Monday against the actor-turned-sculptor, who now calls a farm in Somis, in Ventura County, home. As it is a misdemeanor offense, Stern will not be required to appear on the charge and a lawyer can appear for him at the Ventura County courthouse. If convicted, violators can face a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail. Stern could not be reached for comment Monday."
Daniel Stern was cited on Dec. 10 for allegedly soliciting a prostitute at a Camarillo hotel and was later charged with a misdemeanor count of engaging or agreeing to engage in prostitution. Deputies issued a citation rather than arresting Stern, and prosecutors filed the single misdemeanor charge in Ventura County. As a misdemeanor, Stern is not required to appear and may be represented by counsel at the courthouse. Conviction carries a possible fine up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail. Stern lives on a Somis farm, works as a sculptor, and could not be reached for comment.
