To prove that the defendant is guilty of Solicitation, the prosecutor must
prove that:
1. The defendant requested that another person engage in an act of prostitution; and
2. The defendant intended to engage in an act of prostitution with the other person; and
3. The other person received the communication containing the request.
A person engages in an act of prostitution (PC 647b) if he or she has sexual intercourse or does a lewd act with someone else in exchange for money or other compensation. Under the law, when a prostitute and a customer engage in sexual intercourse or lewd acts, both are engaged in an act of prostitution.
