How can they say you were doing something they never witnessed?

My first thought is the cops can say to the prostitute (who wants to get back out to work ASAP) we will drop the charges and release you right now if you go on record/confess that you were engaged in prostitution with the John

Customer gets ratted out, cops having evidence against him in the form of the confession from the sex worker, and prostitute sent on her way...

Works the other way around too, cops tell the John (who doesn't want his family or his workplace to find out he's been arrested for soliciting a prostitute) we will let you go and drop charges if you go on record against the prostitute

Wlsex worker gets charged with the John as the prosecutor's evidence/witness and the John gets to go back to his life...
