The bill amends the existing laws regarding prostitution and solicitation of prostitution in Wyoming to include acts of sexual contact. It introduces new definitions for "intimate parts" and "sexual contact," clarifying that sexual contact involves touching another person's intimate parts with the intention of sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse. The bill specifies that engaging in or offering to engage in sexual contact for money or property constitutes prostitution, which remains a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine of up to $750, or both.
Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of soliciting an act of prostitution to include the intent for sexual contact, alongside sexual intrusion. This change reinforces the legal framework surrounding prostitution-related offenses, ensuring that both sexual contact and sexual intrusion are addressed under the same legal provisions. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative processes.
