The exact definition of crimes depends on state law, but typically, pandering is defined as convincing someone to become a prostitute or keep being a prostitute, or facilitating a prostitute’s practice (e.g. by providing them with a flophouse).
The severity depends on the state, but it’s often a felony, meaning it’s a serious crime.
A person charged with pandering is probably someone who has been running a whorehouse or a cam business or something. Pimps are also sometimes charged with pandering in addition to / instead of pimping, because the intent to profit from prostitution is often an element of pimping, whereas pandering can be helping out prostitutes doing their work even if you don’t expect to make any money from doing so
