Colorado Court of Appeals People v. Cardenas 11CA1954

Decision here.

   Cardenas was pimping a 17 year old and an 18 year old.  He got caught when the 18 year old got arrested, and was convicted of pimping an adult, pimping a child, pandering a child, inducing child prostitution, and trafficking in children.

   On appeal, his conviction for trafficking in children was reversed, because that statute prohibits the sale or lease of a child, but not of a child's services. Given that he wasn't selling the girl into slavery, the statute doesn't quite apply.  His other convictions were affirmed.
