'Home Alone' Actor Daniel Stern's Prostitution Solicitation Case Dismissed in California: Report

Daniel Stern completed a required education class and earned dismissal of his first-time misdemeanor solicitation charge, Ventura County officials confirmed.

  • On Friday, February 6, 2026, Ventura County court records show Daniel Stern, actor and sculptor, was cleared of a misdemeanor solicitation charge and attorney Blair Berk said `The case was dismissed with prejudice as it should have been from the start and we're very pleased`.
  • The case began after a Dec. 10, 2025 police sting operation at a Camarillo hotel where Stern received a citation but was not arrested, and prosecutors filed a misdemeanor charge on January 12, 2026.
  • The Ventura County District Attorney's Office said Stern completed a court-ordered education class and earned a dismissal, avoiding possible penalties of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
  • With the dismissal, Stern's record is now clear of the misdemeanor charge, but he left the ABC pilot Do You Want Kids? last month and the role was recast.
  • Stern has primarily focused on sculpting in recent years, including a sculpting project tied to the Home Alone house, though it's unknown if he'll return to acting after For All Mankind.
