Daniel Stern secures legal win after heinous charges thrown out

Daniel Stern walked out of court with major legal win.

The Home Alone star, 68, on February 6, had a prostitution charge against him officially dismissed In Ventura County, California, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Stern had been cited late last year but was never taken into custody.

The charge stemmed from a December 2025 incident at a hotel in Camarillo, where Stern was accused of soliciting prostitution. Authorities issued a citation at the time, but the case never escalated beyond that.

In a statement shared with EW, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office confirmed the dismissal, explaining it followed standard protocol. “The defendant did what he was supposed to do,” the office said. 

“He completed his education class and earned a dismissal. This is our standard disposition for first-time prostitution offenses.”

Stern was presented in the court by high-profile defense attorneyBlair Berk, who made it clear he felt the case never should’ve gone this far.

“The case was dismissed with prejudice as it should have been from the start, and we’re very pleased,” Berk said in a statement to the California Post.

As of now, Stern has not released a personal statement addressing the case or the dismissal.

The legal issue briefly spilled into his professional life. In January, reports surfaced that Stern had stepped away from an unnamed project following news of the charge.
