N.C.P.I.—Crim. 226.96
SOLICITATION FOR PROSTITUTION WITH A PERSON WHO HAS A [SEVERE] [PROFOUND] MENTAL DISABILITY. FELONY.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant (describe act, e.g. stood under a street
lamp late at night making comments to passersby inviting them to
participate in acts of prostitution.)
Second, that the acts of the defendant were calculated and
intended to advertise and communicate the availability of [the defendant]
[some other person] for acts of prostitution, and were calculated and
intended to attract and invite other persons to commit acts of
prostitution with [the defendant] [some other person].
And Third, that the defendant willfully solicited a person who had a
[severe] [profound] mental disability for the purpose of prostitution.4
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant (describe act) with the intent of
advertising [the defendant’s] [some other person's] availability for acts of
prostitution and with the intent to induce other persons to engage in acts
of prostitution with [the defendant] [some other person], and the
defendant willfully solicited a person who had a [severe] [profound]
mental disability for the purpose of prostitution, it would be your duty to
return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or if you have a
reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be your duty
to return a verdict of not guilty.
