Whoever commits accepting the earnings of a prostitute is guilty of a fourth degree felony.

Sufficient evidence to support conviction. — Where defendant was convicted of human trafficking, promoting prostitution, accepting earnings from a prostitute, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and conspiracy, defendant's conviction for accepting earnings of a prostitute was supported by substantial evidence where trial testimony from the victim established that defendant knew that the victim was engaged in prostitution and that the victim gave defendant money she received as a result of various sexual transactions.
