ROBERT E. CRIST, Judge Defendant appeals from a jury conviction for promoting prostitution in the third degree, § 567.070, RSMo 1986, for which he was sentenced to four years' imprisonment and fined $1,000. We affirm. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence discloses the following: Defendant, recently divorced and new to the area, began phoning M.A., a sixteen-year-old high school student. He had never met M.A., but had gotten her name from friends. The phone calls were frequent and often daily, and in the course of the conversations defendant told M.A. he operated an escort service where he set up girls to spend the night with businessmen in St. Louis, and asked her if she would be interested in working for him.
