Commercial sexual services - Prohibitions on use in prostitution of persons under 18 years

21: No person may receive earnings from commercial sexual services provided by person under 18 years

You could also call this:

"You can't keep money earned by someone under 18 from selling sexual services."

If you get money from someone who is selling sexual services, you must not keep it if you know or should know the person selling those services is under 18 years old. You cannot receive payment or rewards from someone who is under 18 and is providing commercial sexual services. This means you cannot take earnings that come directly or indirectly from a person under 18 who is selling sexual services.
