N.C.P.I.—Crim. 238.24
PARTICIPATING IN PROSTITUTION OF A MINOR. (APPLIES ONLY TO OFFENSES COMMITTED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 1, 2013). FELONY.
NOTE WELL: This statute has been repealed by Session Laws
2013-368, s.4, effective October 1, 2013. This instruction
applies only to offenses committed prior to October 1, 2013.
The defendant has been charged with participating in prostitution1 of a
minor2
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant patronized a minor prostitute. Patronizing a
minor prostitute means:
[soliciting or requesting a minor to participate in prostitution];
[paying or agreeing to pay a minor, either directly or through the
minor's agent, to participate in prostitution];
[paying a minor, or the minor's agent, for having participated in
prostitution, pursuant to a prior agreement.]
And Second, that the defendant was not a minor.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant patronized a minor prostitute and that
the defendant was not a minor, it would be your duty to return a verdict of
guilty. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of
these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
