The gravamen of the offense for which Gordon and Sanders were indicted was the enticing, luring or persuading of the young girls for immoral purposes. See Malden v. State, 87 Ga. App. 563, 564 ( 75 S.E.2d 30) (1953). The recitations of the sexual orgy and the audition of the sordid tape record, as repugnant as these acts were, did not establish the crime — enticing, luring or persuading for immoral purposes.
It has also been established in other states with very similar venue statutes that rape prosecutions can be in the county where the victim was abducted from rather than the county where the actual commission of sexual intercourse occurred.
