A police officer who has been charged with rape and o.oppression and has enough evidence to prove but to avoid liability is offered a lesser plea to misdemeanor patronizing prostitution and with victim contesting this in court but still is accepted from the court is this not illegal sentencing of 2 facts? For patronizing prostitution is not likewise to rape and another the police was not conducting a investigation nor there was never an arrest of the victim in this report of her engaging in prostitution.

This question is unintelligible. If you are wondering if a plea to patronizing a prostitute is possible in a case where the original charges included rape, the answer is yes, that is possible, though it is a pretty big reduction and therefore suggests the case was weak to begin with.
