Commonwealth v. Diana Matos
January 11, 2011
Massachusetts Appeals Court
Docket No: 09-P-1895
Prostitution, Inducing a minor
The primary issue in this case was whether G.L. c. 272, § 4A, which makes it a penalty to induce a minor to become a prostitute, requires a showing that the minor was not previously involved with prostitution prior to a defendant convicted under this statute. The defendant also appealed her convictions on other charges based upon a lack of sufficient evidence.
