What is aggravated prostitution?

Answer 1

T.P.I. -- CRIM. 10.13 AGGRAVATED PROSTITUTION Any person who commits the offense of aggravated prostitution is guilty of a crime. For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the state must have proven beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of the following essential elements:1 (1)(a) that the defendant engaged in sexual activity as a business; or (b) that the defendant was an inmate in a house of prostitution; or (c) that the defendant loitered in a public place for the purpose of being hired to engage in sexual activity; and (2) that the defendant was infected with HIV; and (3) that the defendant acted knowingly. "HIV" means the human immunodeficiency virus or any other identified causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.2 "Sexual activity" means any sexual relations, including homosexual sexual relations.3 ["Inmate" means a person who engages in prostitution in or through the agency of a house of prostitution.]4 ["House of prostitution" means any place where prostitution or the promotion of prostitution is regularly carried on by one (1) or more persons under the control, management or supervision of another.]5 ["Prostitution" means engaging in, or offering to engage in, sexual activity as a business or being an inmate in a house of prostitution or loitering in a public place for the purpose of being hired to engage in sexual activity.]6 "Knowingly" means that a person acts knowingly with respect to the conduct or to circumstances surrounding the conduct when the person is aware of the nature of the conduct or that the circumstances exist. A person acts knowingly with respect to a result of the person's conduct when the person is aware that the conduct is reasonably certain to cause the result.7 The requirement of "knowingly" is also established if it is shown that the defendant acted intentionally.8 "Intentionally" means that a person acts intentionally with respect to the nature of the conduct or to a result of the conduct when it is the person's conscious objective or desire to engage in the conduct or cause the result.9
