§ 230.34-a Sex trafficking of a child.
  1.  A  person  is guilty of sex trafficking of a child when he or she,
being twenty-one years old or more, intentionally  advances  or  profits
from prostitution of another person and such person is a child less than
eighteen  years old. Knowledge by the defendant of the age of such child
is not an element of  this  offense  and  it  is  not  a  defense  to  a
prosecution  therefor  that  the  defendant  did not know the age of the
child or believed such age to be eighteen or over.
  2. For purposes of this section:
  (a) A person "advances prostitution" when,  acting  other  than  as  a
person  in prostitution or as a patron thereof, and with intent to cause
prostitution, he or she directly engages in conduct that facilitates  an
act or enterprise of prostitution.
  (b)  A person "profits from prostitution" when, acting other than as a
person in prostitution receiving compensation  for  personally  rendered
prostitution services, and with intent to facilitate prostitution, he or
she accepts or receives money or other property pursuant to an agreement
or  understanding  with any person whereby he or she participates in the
proceeds of prostitution activity.
  Sex trafficking of a child is a class B felony.
