People v. Lynn

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jun 3, 1954
120 N.E.2d 855 (N.Y. 1954)

Opinion

Argued April 22, 1954

Decided June 3, 1954

Appeal from the Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, Appellate Part, First Department, BUSHEL, M.

Frank S. Hogan, District Attorney ( Harold Roland Shapiro and Richard G. Denzer of counsel), for appellant.

N. Henry Lindenauer for respondent.


The order of the Court of Special Sessions should be reversed and defendant's conviction of loitering in violation of section 887 (subd. 4, par. [c]) of the Code of Criminal Procedure should be reinstated, and her defense overruled that the overtures were not made by her but by the man mentioned in the complaint, inasmuch as it appears that in a public place she demanded money, escorting him immediately afterward to a place where they had sexual intercourse, after which she received the amount of money agreed upon. This was enough to constitute "inducing, enticing or procuring" within the meaning of this statute.

The order of the Court of Special Sessions should be reversed and the judgment of the City Magistrates' Court reinstated.

LEWIS, Ch. J., CONWAY, DESMOND, DYE, FULD, FROESSEL and VAN VOORHIS, JJ., concur.

Order reversed, etc.
