- The allegation is documented in police records obtained by TMZ, which outlets published on January 10.
- Under California law, solicitation is typically treated as an infraction that can lead to a fine or a court hearing rather than jail.
- Police issued only a citation, and there was no arrest, booking or mug shot, with the case outcome still pending.
- Stern has not made a public statement, and separate records show he was briefly hospitalized in October after a medical emergency confirmed by local fire officials.
