N.C.P.I.—Crim. 238.26A
SOLICITATION FOR PROSTITUTION WITH A MINOR. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with solicitation for prostitution
with a minor. Prostitution is the [performance of] [offer of] [agreement]
to perform [vaginal intercourse] [(describe) sexual act2] [(describe)
sexual contact3] for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification for any
money or other consideration. Solicitation for prostitution may be defined
as any course of action by which a person advertises or communicates to
another person [his] [her] [some other person's] availability for and
willingness to commit an act of prostitution, and explicitly or implicitly
invites that person to engage in acts of prostitution with [him] [her]
[some other person].
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove four 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].
Third, that the defendant was 18 years or older.
And Fourth, that the defendant willfully solicited a minor for the
purpose of prostitution. A minor is a person less than 18 years of age.
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 was 18 years or older and willfully solicited a minor 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.
