Opinion
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 *718 statutory 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.
