Legal Definitions - panderer

Definition: A panderer is someone who acts as a middleman between prostitutes and their clients. They collect a portion of the prostitute's earnings as payment for their services. A male panderer is commonly known as a pimp, while a female panderer is called a madam. The act of pandering involves various illegal activities, such as enticing someone into prostitution for the panderer's profit, running a brothel, or taking money from the prostitute in exchange for arranging meetings with clients and providing protection.

• A pimp who recruits young girls and forces them into prostitution is a panderer.
• A madam who runs a brothel and manages the prostitutes working there is also a panderer.
• A person who collects money from a prostitute in exchange for arranging meetings with clients and providing protection is engaging in pandering.

These examples illustrate how a panderer profits from the prostitution of others and engages in illegal activities to do so. They exploit vulnerable individuals for their own gain and contribute to the harmful and dangerous industry of prostitution.
