These extensions include the imprisonment of three to six years and the fine to which, with violence, intimidation or deceit, forces an elderly person to prostitute himself. It will also be punishable by imprisonment for one to three years and fines anyone who benefits from the prostitution of another person, even if authorized.

Among those who get benefits from prostitution are the owners of the premises. Penalties will also be tightened up against them. In this case, on the proposal of the PSOE, they will be sentenced to imprisonment for two to four years and a fine of 18 to 24 months.
