Gibson v. State ( 1911 )

Russell, J.

Under the evidence, the defendant was guilty of assault with intent to rape, or not guilty at all, and therefore there was no error in not charging the law as to assault and battery.' An assault with intent to induce consent to sexual intercourse on the part of a female child under the age of consent is not assault and battery, hut assault with intent to rape, just as the completed intercourse with such a child would he rape. Judgment affirmed.
