The Mann Act
shadowcat
Atlanta suburb
n. a federal statute making it a crime to transport a woman across state lines for "immoral" purposes. The Mann Act was intended to prevent the movement of prostitutes from one state to another or in and out of the country in the so-called "white slave" trade. However, it also applies to a male taking his under-age girlfriend to a love-nest in a neighboring state, or a female transporting an underage boy across the state line for such purposes. Maximum term is five years in a federal prison."
From what I have read on this board over the last 15-20 years it seems that quite a few of us have committed offenses in violation of this act. How many guys have taken their favorite strippers to Vegas for the weekend, etc. However it doesn't appear to be used much. Are you guilty?

He was in the process of doing this when he was arrested for violating the Mann Act which makes it illegal to transport gulls across staid lions for immoral porpoises.
As for the Mann Act...I never crossed state lines with a P4P deal but I did fly to Tampa for a long weekend with a g/f once. That was free though.
