services or to maintain a violation of specified criminal acts,
including sexual exploitation of a child or extortion, or who causes,
induces, or persuades, or attempts to cause, induce, or persuade, a
minor to engage in a commercial sex act, is guilty of human
trafficking. A violation of these provisions is punishable by
imprisonment in the state prison, as specified, and by a fine of not
