Del. P.J.I. Crim. No. 11.1353(2)

PROMOTING PROSTITUTION IN THE FIRST DEGREE

In order to find Defendant guilty of Promoting Prostitution in the First

Degree, you must find the State proved following two (2) elements beyond a

reasonable doubt:

(1) Defendant [advanced/profited from] the prostitution of a person less

than 16 years old; and

(2) Defendant acted knowingly.

“Knowingly” means Defendant knew or was aware (prostitute) was less

than 16 years old.

Defendant "advances prostitution" when Defendant knowingly causes or

assists another person to commit or engage in prostitution, procures or solicits

patrons for prostitution, provides persons or premises for prostitution purposes,

operates or assists in the operation of a house of prostitution or a prostitution

enterprise, or engages in any other conduct designed to establish, assist or

facilitate an act or enterprise of prostitution.

Defendant "profits from prostitution" when Defendant, acting as other than

a prostitute, receives compensation for rendering prostitution services and, under

an agreement or understanding with another person, participates or is to participate

in the proceeds of the prostitution activity. A person does not advance or profit

from prostitution by either patronizing a prostitute or by receiving compensation for

personally engaging in prostitution activities.
