• holding that a thirteen-year-old girl cannot be charged with prostitution because children are the victims, rather than the perpetrators, of prostitution
• holding that children under fourteen years of age cannot be charged with prostitution because they lack the capacity to consent to sex
• noting that B.W. admitted she had “knowingly agree[d] to engage in sexual conduct . . . for a fee”
• determining that child under fourteen may not be prosecuted for prostitution under Penal Code section 43.02
• noting that the Legislature “unequivocally remov[ed] the defense of consent to sexual assault” for children under fourteen
