(720 ILCS 5/11-19.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 11-19.1)

Sec. 11-19.1. Juvenile Pimping and aggravated juvenile pimping.

(a) A person commits the offense of juvenile pimping if the person knowingly receives anything of value derived from the practice of prostitution, in whole or in part, and

(1) the prostitute was under the age of 16 at the time the act of prostitution occurred; or

(2) the prostitute was a severely or profoundly mentally retarded person at the time the act of prostitution occurred Any person who receives any money, property, token, object, or article or anything of value from a prostitute under 16 years of age or from a prostitute who is a severely or profoundly mentally retarded person, not for a lawful consideration, knowing it was earned in whole or in part from the practice of prostitution, commits juvenile pimping.

(b) A person commits the offense of aggravated juvenile pimping if the person knowingly receives anything of value derived from the practice of prostitution, in whole or in part, and the prostitute was under the age of 13 at the time the act of prostitution occurred.
