Description
The testimony of both the defendant and the prosecutrix shows beyond all question that he had sexual intercourse with her on the night of September 15, 1936, a few hourse after he had met her for the first time. It occurred in his own room at the hotel where he was living and of which he was manager. The prosecutrix testified on the witness stand that she was born on May 15, 1920, though she had told the defendant she was twenty-two years old. He himself testified that later "he became suspicious" and that she then told him she was twenty. Her testimony at the trial was neither shaken by cross-examination nor contradicted by other evidence. If she was actually under eighteen at the time of the act charged, he was clearly guilty whether he did or did not know that she was under the statutory age of consent, unless they were then and there husband and wife.
