Legal memorandum arguing lack of federal jurisdiction for prostitution-related charges

Legal memorandum arguing lack of federal jurisdiction for prostitution-related charges The passage is a purely doctrinal legal analysis citing case law to argue that federal statutes do not apply to consensual prostitution conduct. It contains no specific actors, transactions, or allegations of wrongdoing that could be pursued as an investigative lead. Key insights: Cites precedent that prostitution is traditionally a state matter.; References Supreme Court decisions (Santos, Cuellar) limiting the scope of money‑laundering statutes.; Argues that federal prosecution would require stretching statutory elements beyond their plain meaning.
