Notes of Decisions
Actions of manager of “adult theater” in paying man and woman to perform sex acts before audience constituted violation of this section. State v. Kravitz, 14 Or App 243, 511 P2d 844 (1973), Sup Ct review denied
The corroboration requirement must be met for a conviction for the inchoate crime of attempting to promote prostitution. State v. Montgomery, 26 Or App 817, 554 P2d 578 (1976)
Conviction under this section merged with conviction under charge of compelling prostitution (ORS 167.017) where same evidence was used to convict defendant of both crimes. State v. Williams, 40 Or App 227, 594 P2d 1281 (1979)
Where evidence proving promoting prostitution was part of larger body of evidence proving attempted compelling prostitution, it was error for trial court to separately convict defendant for both promoting prostitution (under this section) and attempted compelling prostitution (under ORS 167.017). State v. Barnett, 42 Or App 69, 600 P2d 877 (1979)
Application of this section to live show does not conflict with section 8, Article I of Oregon Constitution, because focus is on preventing harmful effects of prostitution without regard to presence or absence of circumstances adding expressive element to conduct. State v. Ciancanelli, 339 Or 282, 121 P3d 613 (2005)
Because separate paragraphs of this section do not define separate crimes but, instead, set forth different ways to commit same crime, multiple counts under this section harm same victim, which is general public, and, when read with ORS 161.067, merger of multiple counts is not precluded. State v. Paye, 310 Or App 408, 486 P3d 808 (2021)
