We reverse the county court’s order finding the mandatory $5,000 civil penalty imposed for solicitation of prostitution under section 796.07(6), Florida Statutes (2014), to be unconstitutionally excessive. See State v. Vachon, 182 So.3d 844 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016); State v. Jones, 180 So.3d 1085 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015).
