Is pimping and pandering a crime of moral turpitude?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Jaimez, 184 Cal.App.3d 146, 228 Cal.Rptr. 852 (Cal. App. 1986):

Pimping and pandering involve the corruption of others. The perpetrator of these offenses encourages, or profits from, the commission of crimes by others. The offenses evidence a "readiness to do evil" (People v. Castro, supra, 38 Cal.3d 301, 315, 211 Cal.Rptr. 719, 696 P.2d 111) and are "extremely repugnant to accepted moral standards." (In re Fahey, supra, 8 Cal.3d 842, 849, 106 Cal.Rptr. 313, 505 P.2d 1369.) Accordingly, we hold pimping and pandering are crimes of moral turpitude.
