While the language of the statute, "bawd, lewd, or kept female", impliedly indicates the necessity of showing a previous act of intercourse, it cannot be thus restricted in view of the proviso that evidence is admissible to show a reputation of "want of chastity". In Taylor v. State, 165 Tenn. 156, 53 S.W.2d 377, it was held that evidence of previous acts of intercourse, where the female is under twelve, is admissible, but "evidence of the female's reputation for want of chastity is admissible only if she is over fourteen years of age." Lewdness is defined as "that form of immorality which has relation to sexual impurity, and is generally used as indicating gross indecency with respect to the sexual relations and may or may not impute criminal indulgence.
