What evidence supports the conviction and sentencing of a man who encouraged a woman to become a prostitute by creating and providing her with an advertising scheme that encouraged her to engage in commercial sex acts?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Verde, F076088 (Cal. App. 2020):

Based on this record, substantial evidence supports the trial court's sentencing determination. (See People v. Jones, supra, 103 Cal.App.4th at p. 1143.) Appellant initially encouraged J.A. to become a prostitute, and he created and provided her with the advertising scheme. He then encouraged her to engage in specific commercial sex acts. After she returned home, he threatened her, which caused her to continue her commercial sex acts. Appellant's conduct established that he held more than one criminal objective.
