AB 733, as introduced, Chávez. Crimes: human trafficking.
Existing law provides that a person who, knowing another person is a prostitute, lives or derives support or maintenance from the proceeds of that person’s prostitution or from money loaned or advanced to or charged against the prostitute by a specified person, or who solicits or receives compensation for soliciting for the prostitute, is guilty of the felony of pimping, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison, as specified.
