Procuring or pandering is the facilitation or provision of a prostitute in the arrangement of a sex act with a customer[1]. Examples of procuring include:
- trafficking a prostitute into a country for the purpose of soliciting sex
- operating a prostitution business
- transporting a prostitute to the location of their arrangement
Criminal laws forbidding the procurement of prostitutes also would outlaw the importuning of the customer.
Pandering is one form of procuring. In most places where prostitution is illegal, so is procuring, whether the relationship between the procurer and prostitute is formal or informal.
