What is the current state of the law on the definition of "morally depraved" sexual abuse?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Allen, 22 N.Y.2d 465, 239 N.E.2d 879, 293 N.Y.S.2d 280 (N.Y. 1968):
The court, as recently as 1966, has sustained the constitutionality of the statute (People v. Salisbury, 18 N.Y.2d 899, 276 N.Y.S.2d 634, 223 N.E.2d 43) against the argument that 'morally depraved' was too vague a statutory prescription (p. 900, 276 N.Y.S.2d p. 635, 223 N.E.2d p. 43); and for the reasons which are developed here leading to reversal of these convictions on the merits it is unnecessary to reconsider the constitutional issue.
