Syllabus
<p>Seduction — Conditional Promise or Marriage Sufficient. Under Bal. Code, § 7066, prescribing the punishment for any person who shall “seduce and debauch any unmarried woman of previous chaste character,” seduction under a promise of marriage is not essential to constitute the crime of seduction, any seductive promises being sufficient; and, if an engaged woman finally submits relying upon a conditional promise to marry immediately in case of trouble, there is sufficient evidence to go to the jury.</p>
