Under existing law, an individual who solicits, who agrees to engage in, or who engages in any act of prostitution is guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. Under existing law, a person who deprives or violates the personal liberty of another with the intent to obtain forced labor or services, or for the purpose of prostitution or sexual exploitation, is guilty of the crime of human trafficking and subject to imprisonment.
