““Section 1. That any person who shall fraudulently, deceitfully or by any false representation, entice, abduct, induce, decoy, hire, engage, employ or take any woman of previous chaste character from her father’s house or from any other place where she may be, for the purpose of prostitution or for any unlawful sexual intercourse, at a house of ill fame or at any other place of like character, 'or elsewhere, * * * shall on conviction be punished,” etc.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Davis““The title of Act 134, p. 175, of 1890, reads, ‘An act making the abduction of women a crime.’ Thus the crime lies in the abduction. The words ‘for the purpose of prostitution,’ etc., are merely descriptive of the intent of the abduction.” (Italics ours.)”
