Szewe v. State ex rel. Cisek
Szewe v. State ex rel. Cisek
Opinion of the Court
One difficulty with the defense is that the witnesses or the persons whom ’the accused named as being guilty of similar acts with the complainant, all strenuously deny the accusations, while he, himself, admits two acts of intercourse with the complainant, It would be very difficult to conclude
It is pointed out that the trial court did not decide this case for some weeks after its submission. However, the presumption is that the trial court acted regularly in the matter.
Further discussion in this, case would seem unnecessary, for the reason that from the record it is a fair conclusion that the accused is guilty; at least he or any one else would be unable to say that his conduct was not the cause of this young lady’s misfortune. He, at least, was quite willing to take advantage of the sexual relation with her, and in so doing he took all the chances incident to the same. There is no absolute proof whatever that he was not the author of her trouble.
For the reasons given, the judgment is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
