Caminetti v. United States
Citation:
242 U.S. 470, 37 S.Ct. 192, 61 L.Ed. 442 (1916)Facts
F. Drew Caminetti was indicted in May 1913 for transporting a woman from Sacramento, California to Reno, Nevada for the purpose of debauchery and for the immoral purpose that she should become his mistress and concubine. The case was consolidated with similar cases involving Diggs and Hays, who were also charged with transporting women across state lines for immoral purposes. None of the cases involved commercial prostitution or financial gain. Caminetti took the stand in his own defense but did not testify about the trip to Reno or his intent in taking it. The jury convicted him on the first count, and he was sentenced to imprisonment for eighteen months and fined $1,500. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction, and the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
