Overview
- The misdemeanor case was dismissed on Feb. 6, 2026, according to Ventura County court records and statements made in court.
- Senior Deputy District Attorney Twyla Atmore informed Judge Paul Baelly that the case was being thrown out after Stern finished the education program.
- Stern was cited, not arrested, in a Dec. 10, 2025 Camarillo hotel sting, and prosecutors filed a single misdemeanor count on Jan. 12.
- The DA’s office said he “completed his education class and earned a dismissal,” calling it the office’s standard disposition for first-time prostitution offenses.
- After the January filing, Stern exited ABC’s Do You Want Kids? and the role was recast, while a conviction could have carried up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
