a. Knowingly solicits a person to patronize a prostitute;
b. Knowingly procures a prostitute for a patron;
c. Knowingly leases or otherwise permits a place controlled by the actor, alone or in

prostitution, or facilitating prostitution, or fails to make reasonable effort to abate
such use by ejecting the tenant, notifying law enforcement authorities, or taking
other legally available means; or
d. Knowingly induces or otherwise intentionally causes another to remain a
prostitute. A person who is supported in whole or substantial part by the proceeds
of prostitution, other than the prostitute or the prostitute's minor child or a person
whom the prostitute is required by law to support, is presumed to be knowingly
inducing or intentionally causing another to remain a prostitute.
2. The offense is a class A felony if the actor intentionally causes another to remain a
prostitute by force, coercion, threat, or deception, or the prostitute is the actor's spouse
or ward, or a person for whose care, protection, or support the actor is responsible.
Otherwise it is a class C felony.
