  3. Toutounjian v. I.N.S.

    959 F. Supp. 598 (W.D.N.Y. 1997)   Cited 9 times
    Recognizing that "sexual or physical abuse of women or children has been almost uniformly found to involve a crime of moral turpitude"

    In Matter of Z, 2 I. N. Dec. 316 (BIA 1945), the Board held that it could not conclude that petitioner was convicted of a crime of moral turpitude in Canada, where the record of petitioner's conviction for "gross indecency" did not specify the act for which he was convicted. But in Matter of H, 7 I. N. Dec. 359, 360-61 (BIA 1956), the petitioner was convicted of homosexual conduct in Canada under a "gross indecency" statute. The BIA was at first "unable to conclude" that petitioner had been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude because the term gross indecency was not defined in the statute and the record of conviction contained no facts.
