The appeal is dismissed because the magistrate properly accepted PW1's evidence — the discrepancies were peripheral and unrelated to the core events — and made a valid finding that the appellant exercised control and influence over the prostitute's movements, which, under s.137(2), entitled the magistrate to presume that the appellant was knowingly living on the earnings of prostitution; the appellant did not rebut that presumption and no other error was shown.
