Pimping in Denver is charged when a person knowingly lives on or is supported or maintained in whole or in part by money or other thing of value earned, received, procured or realized by any other person through prostitution.

In other words, a person who solicits prostitution for others and takes “a cut” of the prostitute’s pay will be charged with pimping in Colorado. Pimping is a class 3 Felony and is considered a very serious crime that contains potential prison time
