Pandering, also referred to as pimping, is the criminal act of enticing another by promises, threats or fraud to enter a place in which prostitution is practiced. Further:
- Florida statute 796.04 states that it's unlawful for anyone to force, compel or coerce another to become a prostitute. The prosecution may also charge the offense of deriving support from the proceeds of prostitution.
- Florida statute 796.05 makes it unlawful for any person with knowledge that another person is engaging in prostitution to live or derive support from the prostitution earnings.
Many times the act of pandering or pimping is disguised by escort services or massage services. With the explosion of tourism and corporate conferences throughout central Florida, these types of practices are spreading throughout websites such as craigslist.com and backpage.com.
Pimping/pandering is a felony crime in Florida and carries serious legal penalties, including incarceration. If you have been accused of pimping or pandering, it's important that you contact an experienced and diligent criminal defense attorney.
