  §712-1202 Sex trafficking.

  §712-1203 Promoting prostitution.  (1) A person commits the offense of promoting prostitution if the person knowingly advances or profits from prostitution.

  §712-1206  Loitering for the purpose of engaging in or advancing prostitution. (1) For the purposes of this section, "public place" means any street, sidewalk, bridge, alley or alleyway, plaza, park, driveway, parking lot or transportation facility or the doorways and entrance ways to any building which fronts on any of the aforesaid places, or a motor vehicle in or on any such place.  (2) Any person who remains or wanders about in a public place and repeatedly beckons to or repeatedly stops, or repeatedly attempts to stop, or repeatedly attempts to engage passers-by in conversation, or repeatedly stops or attempts to stop motor vehicles, or repeatedly interferes with the free passage of other persons for the purpose of committing the crime of prostitution as that term is defined in section 712-1200, shall be guilty of a violation.  (3) Any person who remains or wanders about in a public place and repeatedly beckons to, or repeatedly stops, or repeatedly attempts to engage passers-by in conversation, or repeatedly stops or attempts to stop motor vehicles, or repeatedly interferes with the free passage of other persons for the purpose of committing the crime of advancing prostitution as that term is defined in section 712-1201(1) is guilty of a petty misdemeanor. [L 1991, c 275, §1] COMMENTARY ON §712-1206  Act 275, Session Laws 1991, prohibits loitering in a public place for the purpose of engaging in or advancing prostitution.

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 37. Hawaii Penal Code|712. Offenses Against Public Health and Morals|712-1208 Promoting travel for prostitution.

  §712-1208 Promoting travel for prostitution. (1) A person commits the offense of promoting travel for prostitution if the person knowingly sells or offers to sell travel services that include or facilitate travel for the purpose of engaging in what would be prostitution if occurring in the State.  (2) "Travel services" has the same meaning as in section 468L-1.  (3) Promoting travel for prostitution is a class C felony. [L 2004, c 82, §2] COMMENTARY ON §712-1208  Act 82, Session Laws 2004, added this section, making it a class C felony to sell or offer to sell travel services promoting prostitution. The legislature found that the sex industry has expanded to include people in the travel industry arranging for travelers to take advantage of prostitution overseas. These profiteers should not be promoting in Hawaii overseas activities that are illegal in this State. The legislature found that establishing a new offense of promoting travel for prostitution recognizes that travel businesses should be held accountable for their roles, if any, in encouraging prostitution and the consequent abuse and exploitation of women.

HI Rev Stat § 712-1209 (2021)
2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 37. Hawaii Penal Code|712. Offenses Against Public Health and Morals|712-1209 Commercial sexual exploitation near schools or public parks.

  §712-1209 Commercial sexual exploitation near schools or public parks. (1) A person commits the offense of commercial sexual exploitation near schools or public parks if, within seven hundred fifty feet of a school or public park, the person provides, agrees to provide, or offers to provide a fee or anything of value to another person to engage in sexual conduct.  (2) Commercial sexual exploitation near schools or public parks is a misdemeanor.  (3) For purposes of this section:  "School" has the same meaning as in section 712-1249.6(6).  "Sexual conduct" has the same meaning as in section 712-1200(2). [L 2011, c 74, §1; am L 2021, c 68, §8] COMMENTARY ON §712-1209  Act 74, Session Laws 2011, added this section, establishing a misdemeanor offense for solicitation of prostitution near schools or public parks if, within seven hundred fifty feet of a school or a public park, a person offers or agrees to pay a fee to another person to engage in sexual conduct. Act 74 was a means of ensuring that the public was not subjected to viewing acts of prostitution near schools and public parks, where children are often present. Senate Standing Committee Report No. 1104, Conference Committee Report No. 68.  Act 68, Session Laws 2021, amended this section to: (1) rename the offense to reference commercial sexual exploitation; and (2) provide that the compensation for engaging in sexual conduct includes anything of value. The legislature found that sex trafficking is an ever-evolving criminal enterprise in which traffickers and exploiters find various means to sexually exploit the most vulnerable in the community. The legislature further found that protecting victims from sexual exploitation and holding offenders accountable is difficult given the disparity in power between the victims and perpetrators, and that amending Hawaii's sex trafficking laws to better reflect the current reality and challenges would improve outcomes for trafficking victims and survivors.

  §712-1213 Displaying indecent material; prima facie evidence. The fact that a person engaged in the conduct specified by section 712-1211 is prima facie evidence that the person engaged in that conduct with knowledge of or in reckless disregard of the character, content, or connotation of the material which is displayed. [L 1972, c 9, pt of §1; am L 1987, c 176, §5] Cross References  Prima facie evidence, see §701-117. COMMENTARY ON §712-1213  This section is derived from the proposed statute in Richard Kuh's influential book on pornography.1 The purpose of the section is to ease the burden on the prosecutor of making a prima facie case on the issue of mens rea in cases involving violation of §712-1211. It makes proof of a prohibited display prima facie evidence of the requisite state of mind; however, it does not change the prosecutor's ultimate burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. __________  §712-1213 Commentary: 1.

  §712-1215.5 Promoting minor-produced sexual images in the first degree. (1) A person, eighteen years of age or older, commits the offense of promoting minor-produced sexual images in the first degree if the person intentionally or knowingly commands, requests, or encourages a minor to use a computer, cell phone, or any other device capable of electronic data transmission or distribution, to transmit to any person a nude photograph or video of a minor.  (2) For purposes of this section, a "minor" means any person under eighteen years of age.  (3) Promoting minor-produced sexual images in the first degree is a misdemeanor. [L 2012, c 213, pt of §1]

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 37. Hawaii Penal Code|712. Offenses Against Public Health and Morals|712-1215.6 Promoting minor-produced sexual images in the second degree.

 §712-1215.6 Promoting minor-produced sexual images in the second degree. (1) A minor commits the offense of promoting minor-produced sexual images in the second degree if the minor:  (a) Knowingly uses a computer, cell phone, or any other device capable of electronic data transmission or distribution, to transmit or distribute to another person a nude photograph or video of a minor or the minor's self; or  (b) Intentionally or knowingly commands, requests, or encourages another minor to use a computer, cell phone, or any other device capable of electronic data transmission or distribution, to transmit to any person a nude photograph or video of a minor or the minor's self.  (2) A person, of any age, commits the offense of promoting minor-produced sexual images in the second degree if the person knowingly possesses a nude photograph or video of a minor transmitted or distributed in violation of subsection (1). It is an affirmative defense under this subsection that the person took reasonable steps to destroy or eliminate the nude photograph or video of a minor.  (3) For purposes of this section, a "minor" means any person under eighteen years of age.  (4) Promoting minor-produced sexual images in the second degree is a petty misdemeanor. [L 2012, c 213, pt of §1] COMMENTARY ON § §712-1215.5 AND 712-1215.6  Act 213, Session Laws 2012, added § §712-1215.5 and 712-1215.6 to address the problem of "sexting," which involved minors taking nude pictures and videos of themselves or other minors, and transmitting the nude images to others by use of a cell phone or other form of electronic communication. Specifically, Act 213 prohibited: (1) adults from soliciting minors to electronically transmit nude images of minors by making such conduct a misdemeanor [( §712-1215.5)]; (2) minors from electronically transmitting nude images of themselves or other minors, or soliciting other minors to do so by making such conduct a petty misdemeanor [( §712-1215.6)]; and (3) a person from possessing a nude image transmitted by a minor, but making it an affirmative defense that the recipient made reasonable efforts to destroy the transmitted nude image [( §712-1215.6)]. The legislature found that the electronic transmission of youth-produced sexual pictures and videos was a growing problem, particularly because the images can be shared with many people almost instantaneously. Once transmitted, the original transmitter had very limited ability to control or prevent further dissemination. The legislature further found that the images may be used as a commodity for exchange, and the threatened dissemination of these images may be used as leverage against the subject to force the subject to engage in behaviors that may cause embarrassment, at minimum, and possible mental or emotional harm.

  §712-1216.5 Importation, sale, or possession of a childlike sex doll. (1) A person commits the offense of importation, sale, or possession of a childlike sex doll if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly:  (a) Imports or causes to be imported into the State one or more childlike sex dolls;  (b) Sells, offers to sell, distributes, or otherwise provides to another person one or more childlike sex dolls; or  (c) Possesses one or more childlike sex dolls.  (2) The importation, sale, or possession of one childlike sex doll is a misdemeanor.  (3) The importation, sale, or possession of two to five childlike sex dolls is a class C felony.  (4) The importation, sale, or possession of more than five childlike sex dolls is a class B felony.  (5) For purposes of this section, "childlike sex doll" means a doll, mannequin, or robot that is intended for sexual stimulation, gratification, or perversion and that has the features of, or features that resemble those of, a person below the age of puberty. [L 2021, c 67, §2] COMMENTARY ON §712-1216.5  Act 67, Session Laws 2021, added this section to establish the offense of importation, sale, or possession of a childlike sex doll. The legislature found that the widespread availability of childlike sex dolls, which are designed to look and feel as lifelike as possible, contributes to the exploitation, objectification, abuse, and sexual assault of minors. The legislature further found that the possession of a childlike sex doll correlates with other offenses perpetrated against children and may reinforce pedophilic thoughts and cause those thoughts to be acted upon with greater urgency. The legislature found that Act 67 would help protect minors from the harm associated with childlike sex dolls. Conference Committee Report No. 27.

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 37. Hawaii Penal Code|712. Offenses Against Public Health and Morals|712-1217 Open lewdness. §712-1217 Commentary:

  §712-1217 Open lewdness. (1) A person commits the offense of open lewdness if in a public place the person does any lewd act which is likely to be observed by others who would be affronted or alarmed.  (2) Open lewdness is a petty misdemeanor. [L 1972, c 9, pt of §1; gen ch 1993] Cross References  Indecent exposure, see §707-734. COMMENTARY ON §712-1217  This section penalizes open lewdness which does not amount to a sexual offense under chapter 707 of this Code, but which "amounts to gross flouting of community standards in respect to sexuality or nudity in public."1 The section does not apply to cult nudism because of the requirement that the act take place when it is known by the actor that the actor's conduct is likely to cause affront or alarm. Case Notes  Section cited as example of statutory crime without requirement of intention or knowledge. State v. Marley, 54 H. 450, 460, 509 P.2d 1095 (1973).  Intentional exposure of a person's private parts to public view is a lewd act. 61 H. 62, 597 P.2d 10 (1979); 61 H. 68, 597 P.2d 13 (1979); 61 H. 70, 597 P.2d 15 (1979).  Female breasts are not private parts or genitalia, and exposure thereof under existing circumstances was not a lewd act under statute. 61 H. 68, 597 P.2d 13 (1979).  "Public place" construed. 61 H. 187, 600 P.2d 1379 (1979).  No double jeopardy for convictions under this section and §707-734. 8 H. App. 535, 813 P.2d 335 (1991).

 §712-1218 Failure to maintain age verification records of sexual performers. (1) A person commits the offense of failure to maintain age verification records of sexual performers if the person knowingly produces any pornographic performance, book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, computer image, or other matter that contains one or more pornographic visual depictions made after June 30, 2002, of sexual conduct and:  (a) Knowingly fails to create and maintain age verification records for each sexual performer;  (b) Knowingly makes or causes to be made any false entry into the age verification records of sexual performers required by this section; or  (c) Knowingly fails to produce the age verification records of sexual performers required by this section, upon request by a law enforcement officer for the purpose of verifying the age of a sexual performer.  (2) Failure to maintain age verification records of sexual performers is a class C felony.

  §712-1218.5 Failure to maintain age verification records of sexually exploited individuals. (1) A person commits the offense of failure to maintain age verification records of sexually exploited individuals if, with the intent to profit therefrom, the person knowingly provides sexually exploited individuals to patrons or customers of a public establishment or provides sexually exploited individuals to a private club or event, and the person:  (a) Knowingly fails to create and maintain age verification records for each sexually exploited individual;  (b) Knowingly makes or causes to be made any false entry into the age verification records of sexually exploited individuals required by this section; or  (c) Knowingly fails to produce the age verification records of sexually exploited individuals required by this section upon request by a law enforcement officer for the purpose of verifying the age of a sexually exploited individual.
