What action constitutes Promoting Prostitution?

  1. Discharging a firearm in a public road

  2. Soliciting prostitution in a public place

  3. Receiving money from prostitution proceeds

  4. Threatening a person in a public place

The correct answer is: Receiving money from prostitution proceeds

Promoting Prostitution occurs when an individual receives money or other proceeds from the earnings of a person engaged in prostitution. This action facilitates and supports the continuation of the illegal activity by benefiting from the proceeds. In contrast, the other options listed do not directly relate to promoting prostitution as defined in the penal code. For instance, discharging a firearm in a public road, soliciting prostitution in a public place, and threatening a person in a public place are separate offenses defined by law but do not constitute promoting prostitution specifically.
