Quote:

Johnson was convicted in 1913 of violating the Mann Act on charges that he transported a white woman across state lines “for immoral purposes.” The woman Johnson transported, Belle Schreiber, worked as a prostitute and had been in a steady relationship with the heavyweight champion.

Johnson was sentenced to a year in prison, but he fled the country for several years, returning in 1920 to serve his sentence.

I'm surprised we still have the Mann Act. _________________ "The more I see of the moneyed classes, the more I understand the guillotine." -- George Bernard Shaw
