Watt v. State Book Reviews

Watt v. State by Supreme Court of Arkansas Book Summary

On an indictment charging a violation of the Carnal Abuse Statute (41-3406, 1947), appellant was found guilty and his punishment fixed by the jury at a term of four years in the State Penitentiary. This appeal followed. Appellant, a thirty-eight year old white man, and the father of a five year old child, was employed as a gasoline truck driver. On December 21, 1952, Dolly Lou Brown, a little seven year old colored girl, and her three year old cousin, William Anthony, were walking down U.S. Highway 165 near Parkdale, Arkansas. Watt was in his truck on the side of the road. While Dolly Lou and her cousin were passing the truck, Watt called her over to him and pulled her into the truck. Then he put his hand on her vulva, and inserted his finger into her vagina, thereby rupturing her hymen, and causing her to bleed. Her testimony relative to the insertion was corroborated by Dr. A. E. Cone. In fact, the evidence appears not to be in dispute. The primary and decisive question presented is whether the lewd and lascivious acts, which appellant committed, are punishable under the above section.
