Suffrage activists, especially Harriet Burton Laidlaw and Rose Livingston, worked in the Chinatown section of New York and in other cities to rescue young white and Chinese girls from forced prostitution, and helped pass the Mann Act to make interstate sex trafficking a federal crime.
Brief is life but love is long
The most common use of the Mann Act was to prosecute men for having sex with underage females. It was also used to harass others who had drawn the authorities' wrath for "immoral" behavior.
Quotations: Love Quotes
The first person prosecuted under the act was African-American heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson. He had had an interracial affair with a white prostitute named Lucille Cameron, but she refused to cooperate with the prosecution; Johnson later married her. Less than a month later he was re-arrested for having crossed a state line, before the Mann Act was passed, with Belle Schreiber, a prostitute who had left a brothel. She testified against him, and Johnson was convicted and sentenced to the maximum penalty of a year and a day in prison.
