Mann Act Violation

CRIME

Originally titled the White-Slave Traffic Act, this 1910 federal statute criminalized the transportation of women and girls for vaguely-defined "immoral purposes." For decades, the law enabled criminal prosecutions of married people who crossed state lines for extramarital trysts. The act was amended in 1978 to specifically include child pornography.

Presence on this list implies merely that, to the best of our knowledge, charges were filed against the people in question, or in some cases, a civil suit. It is not meant to imply guilt, and in fact many of the individuals listed may have been found innocent of said charges or claims. Some details of the charge in question can often be found inside the specific profiles linked.
