| 9 | | solicitation of a sexual act with a person who is under the age |
| 10 | | of 18 or who is a person with a severe or profound intellectual |
| 11 | | disability that the accused reasonably believed the person was |
| 12 | | of the age of 18 years or over or was not a person with a |
| 13 | | severe or profound intellectual disability at the time of the |
| 14 | | act giving rise to the charge. |
| 15 | | (c) This Section does not apply to a person engaged in |
| 16 | | prostitution who is under 18 years of age. |
| 17 | | (d) A person cannot be convicted under this Section if the |
| 18 | | practice of prostitution underlying the offense consists |
| 19 | | exclusively of the accused's own acts of prostitution under |
| 20 | | Section 11-14 of this Code. |
