Description
The United States, by an indictment in one count, filed on February 11, 1953, charged the defendant (appellant) with having on January 6, 1953, knowingly transported Dorothy Darlene Crosier in interstate commerce from New York City, New York, to Panama City, Florida, for the purpose of debauchery and other immoral purposes in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2421. The defendant entered a plea of not guilty. The case was tried to a jury, which returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence was imposed upon the verdict, and the defendant has appealed. He asserts that the court should have directed a verdict of acquittal upon the ground that the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction, and that errors of law were committed during the trial which entitled him to a reversal.
