CALCRIM No. 1155
Prostitution: Agreeing to Engage in Act (Pen. Code,
§ 647(b))
The defendant is charged [in Count] with agreeing to engage in
an act of prostitution [in violation of Penal Code section 647(b)].
To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must
prove that:
1. The defendant agreed to engage in an act of prostitution with
someone else;
2. The defendant intended to engage in an act of prostitution with
that person;
AND
3. In addition to agreeing, the defendant did something to further
the commission of an act of prostitution.
A person engages in an act of prostitution if he or she has sexual
intercourse or does a lewd act with someone else in exchange for money
[or other compensation]. A lewd act means touching the genitals,
buttocks, or female breast of either the prostitute or customer with some
part of the other person’s body for the purpose of sexual arousal or
gratification.
[The conduct that furthers the commission of the act of prostitution may
happen before, after, or at the same time as the agreement to engage in
prostitution.]
