==What about the PIMP?==
By pimp, we mean a person (man or woman) who manages prostitutes, runs a brothel, or even organises a party. While it is unlikely to be enforced, a strict reading of the law says that if you book a hotel room, book 2 prostitutes and organise 3 other punters to join you (you plan a party), you have become a pimp.
The two laws which cause trouble are 'Exploitation of Prostitution - Causing or Inciting Prostitution for Gain: Section 52 Sexual Offences Act 2003' and 'Controlling Prostitution for Gain: Section 53 Sexual Offences Act 2003'.
These are more serious crimes than soliciting. On summary conviction, a person is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both. On conviction on indictment, a person is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 7 years. Both offences are ‘lifestyle offences’ for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
Pimps are sometimes arrested and charged in the UK. Parties have been shut down, e.g. Cambridge parties.
