Which offense includes receiving money or property pursuant to an agreement to participate in the proceeds of prostitution, or soliciting another to engage in sexual conduct for compensation?

• A. Prostitution
• B. Harassment
• C. Obscene Display/Distribution
• D. Promotion of Prostitution

Answer: (D)

Promoting prostitution is charged when someone profits from prostitution or helps organize or recruit others to participate in it. The scenario described—receiving money or property under an agreement to share in the proceeds of prostitution, or soliciting someone to engage in sexual conduct for payment—fits the idea of promoting the activity rather than performing it or simply being a participant. In contrast, prostitution would involve the person actually engaging in sexual conduct for money; harassment covers threats or harassment not tied to prostitution; obscene display/distribution deals with explicit material. So the offense here targets those who profit from or arrange prostitution, which is why this option is the best fit.
