PROMOTING PROSTITUTION CONVICTIONS REVERSED BECAUSE THE PROMOTING PROSTITUTION COUNTS ARE INCLUSORY CONCURRENT COUNTS OF SEX TRAFFICKING (FOURTH DEPT). ​

The Fourth Department dismissed the “promoting prostitution” counts of the indictment as inclusory concurrent counts of sex trafficking:

We note … that count 15 of the indictment, charging defendant with promoting prostitution in the second degree (Penal Law § 230.30 [1]), is an inclusory concurrent count of sex trafficking as charged in counts 12, 13, and 14 (§ 230.34 [5] [a], [c], [h]; see generally CPL 1.20 [37]; 300.30 [4]). Similarly, count 24 of the indictment, charging defendant with promoting prostitution in the second degree, is an inclusory concurrent count of sex trafficking as charged in counts 21, 22, and 23. We therefore conclude that counts 15 and 24 must be dismissed as a matter of law because defendant was found guilty of counts 12 through 14 and 21 through 23, and “a verdict of guilty upon the greater [counts] is deemed a dismissal of every lesser [inclusory concurrent count]” … . People v Spencer, 2024 NY Slip Op 01448, Fourth Dept 3-15-25

Practice Point: If a defendant is convicted of sex trafficking and promoting prostitution, the promoting prostitution convictions must be reversed as inclusory concurrent counts of sex trafficking.
