REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 27, § 430.
In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to "Title 3, Subtitle 3 of this
article" is substituted for the former reference to "the sexual offenses
subheading of this article" to reflect the reorganization of material on rape
and other sexual crimes in this article.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the references to "an individual" and
"the individual's" are substituted for the former references to "a person"
and "the person's" because only a human being, and not the other entities
included in the defined term "person", may be persuaded or enticed.
In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to a violation being "subject
to § 5-106(b) of the Courts Article" is substituted for the former reference
to the violation subjecting the defendant to imprisonment "in the
penitentiary", for clarity and consistency within this article. See General
Revisor's Note to article.
No other changes are made.
Defined terms: "Person" § 1-101
"Prostitution" § 11-301
11-306. HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION.
