THE DAY SEDUCTION BECAME ILLEGAL ~ April 22, 1886
On this day in 1886, seduction become illegal. An Ohio law was established to prevent male instructors from having consensual sex with women of all ages. Virginia passed a law making it illegal for a man to coerce a chaste woman into having sex with the promise of marriage. I like the wording of Georgia’s law which made it unlawful for men “to seduce a virtuous unmarried female and induce her to yield to his lustful embraces, and allow him to have carnal knowledge of her.”
