(a) Whoever, while acting other than as a prostitute or patron, intentionally does any of the following may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years or to payment of a fine of not more than $50,000, or both: (1) solicits or induces an individual under the age of 18 years to practice prostitution; (2) promotes the prostitution of an individual under the age of 18 years; (3) receives profit, knowing or having reason to know that it is derived from the prostitution, or the promotion of the prostitution, of an individual under the age of 18 years; or (4) engages in the sex trafficking of an individual under the age of 18 years. (b) Whoever violates paragraph (a) or subdivision 1a may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 30 years or to payment of a fine of not more than $60,000, or both, if one or more of the following aggravating factors are present: (1) the offender has committed a prior qualified human trafficking-related offense; (2) the offense involved a sex trafficking victim who suffered bodily harm during the commission of the offense; (3) the time period that a sex trafficking victim was held in debt bondage or forced or coerced labor or services exceeded 180 days; or (4) the offense involved more than one sex trafficking victim. (c) Unless a longer mandatory minimum sentence is otherwise required by law or the Sentencing Guidelines provide for a longer presumptive executed sentence, the court shall presume that: (1) an executed sentence of between 77 and 108 months must be imposed on an offender convicted of violating (i) this subdivision under the conditions described in paragraph (a), or (ii) subdivision 1a under the conditions described in paragraph (b); and (2) an executed sentence of between 123 and 172 months must be imposed on an offender convicted of violating this subdivision under the conditions described in paragraph (b). Sentencing a person in a manner other than that described in this paragraph is a departure from the Sentencing Guidelines.
