State v. Lizotte

2 Citing cases

  1. State v. Cross

    274 A.2d 880 (N.H. 1971)   Cited 3 times

    The offenses under section 3 and section 4 are separate and distinct. That the alleged behavior of the defendant was "lascivious" and a violation of section 3 there can be no doubt. State v. Lizotte, 101 N.H. 494, 148 A.2d 91 (1959). The acts alleged in the complaint here go much further than those in the Lizotte case.

  2. State v. Wickey

    235 A.2d 527 (N.H. 1967)   Cited 2 times

    In the cases last cited, the perverted sex conduct complained of was deemed to be within the purview of the statute. The conduct with which this defendant is charged, was doubtless a misdemeanor under the statute prohibiting gross lewdness or lascivious behavior, RSA 579:3 (State v. Lizotte, 101 N.H. 494) and "in deviation of accepted customs and manners." Jacquith v. Commonwealth, 331 Mass. 439, 442. However it does not fall within the class of offenses charged in Vredenburg and Desilets, supra (see Briefs Cases, Nos. 3237 and 3915), and was not within the statutory term of an "unnatural . . . act," or the common-law definition of the crime against nature.
