Daniel Stern Charged in California as Prosecutors File Case

“Home Alone” star **Daniel Stern, 68, has been charged with a misdemeanor count of soliciting prostitution in Ventura County, California, after being cited by law enforcement on December 10, 2025, at a hotel in Camarillo where authorities say he allegedly tried to hire a s*x worker. Stern, best known for playing Marv in the beloved holiday classic and now living a quieter life as a sculptor and farmer, was not arrested at the time but received a citation, which prosecutors formally filed as a misdemeanor on January 12 ahead of his arraignment scheduled for January 13. Under California law, soliciting prostitution is typically treated as a misdemeanor offense, and if convicted, a person could face up to six months in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000, though Stern will not necessarily have to appear in court himself, as his lawyer can represent him instead. The incident has drawn attention partly because Stern has stepped back from Hollywood in recent years, focusing on his art and ranch life, and because it occurred during the holiday season when Home Alone movies often see renewed popularity on streaming platforms. Stern has not publicly commented on the citation or the charge, and his representatives haven’t responded to requests for a statement, leaving many details about the circumstances leading to the citation — such as whether it involved an undercover law enforcement operation — largely undisclosed.
