N.C.P.I.—Crim. 226.94
PROMOTING PROSTITUTION OF A PERSON WHO HAD A [SEVERE] [PROFOUND] MENTAL DISABILITY. FELONY.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doub3t.
First, that the defendant:
(a) Advanced prostitution by (describe conduct)1 where a person
with a [severe] [profound] mental disability engaged in
prostitution;
(b) Profited from prostitution2 [by compelling a person to become a
prostitute] [by receiving a portion of the earnings from a prostitute
for [arranging] [offering to arrange] a situation in which the person
may practice prostitution] where the prostitute had a [severe]
[profound] mental disability;
(c) Confined the alleged victim against the alleged victim’s will by
[infliction or threat of great bodily harm, permanent disability,
disfigurement] [administering to the alleged victim an alcoholic
intoxicant or drug3] and
(1) compelled the alleged victim to engage in prostitution;
(2) arranged a situation in which the alleged victim may
practice prostitution; or
(3) profited from prostitution by the alleged victim.
Second, that in doing so the defendant acted willfully.
And Third, that the alleged victim had a [severe] [profound] mental
disability.4
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant willfully
(a) advanced prostitution by (describe conduct) where a person
with a [severe] [profound] mental disability engaged in
prostitution;
(b) profited from prostitution [by compelling a person to become a
prostitute] [by receiving a portion of the earnings from a prostitute
for [arranging] [offering to arrange] a situation in which the person
may practice prostitution where the prostitute had a [severe]
[profound] mental disability;
(c) confined the alleged victim against the alleged victim’s will by
[infliction or threat of great bodily harm, permanent disability,
disfigurement] [administering to the alleged victim an alcoholic
intoxicant or drug] and
(1) compelled the alleged victim to engage in prostitution;
(2) arranged a situation in which the alleged victim may
practice prostitution; or
(3) profited from prostitution by the alleged victim.
and that the alleged victim had a [severe] [profound] mental disability, it
would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or
have reasonable doubt as to one or both of these things, it would be your
duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
