Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) A person is guilty of taking indecent liberties with children if, being 16 years of age or more and at least five years older than the child in question, he either: (1) Willfully takes or attempts to take any immoral, improper, or indecent liberties with any child of either sex under the age of 16 years for the purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire; or (2) Willfully commits or attempts to commit any lewd or lascivious act upon or with the body or any part or member of the body of any child of either sex under the age of 16 years.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The crime of taking indecent liberties with a minor is a specific intent crime. A specific intent crime requires the State to prove that defendant acted willfully or with purpose in committing the offense. However, a defendant’s purpose in committing the act in an indecent liberties case is seldom provable by direct evidence and must ordinarily be proven by inference.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]hat the action was for the purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire, may be inferred from the evidence of the defendant's actions.”
