Is pandering a "one act" crime?

Our analysis under section 27 follows a similar track. As noted above, that statute is satisfied if the subject offense was committed in whole or in part in California. It is true that pandering has been described as a "one-act offense," given it is technically accomplished when the defendant procures a person for the purpose of prostitution. (People v. White (1979) 89 Cal.App.3d 143, 151 (White).) That description would also fit the crime of human trafficking under section 236.1, subdivision (c), since it focuses on the act of inducing a minor to engage in prostitution. But while the acts of procuring and inducing are sufficient to trigger liability, it does not mean these crimes are over when those acts initially occur. Rather, courts have treated these crimes as continuous, ongoing offenses in a variety of contexts.
