Rabeck v. New York

United States Supreme Court

391 U.S. 462

Rabeck  v.  New York

Appeal from the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court of New York, First Judicial Department

No. 611.  Argued: N/A --- Decided: May 27, 1968

Former ยง 484-i of the New York Penal Law, which prohibited the sale of "magazines... which would appeal to the lust of persons under the age of eighteen years or to their curiosity as to sex or to the anatomical differences between the sexes," is unconstitutionally vague and it is no answer to say that it was adopted for the salutary purpose of protecting children.

Reversed.


Stanley Fleishman, Osmond K. Fraenkel, and Sam Rosenwein for appellant.

Isidore Dollinger and Daniel J. Sullivan for appellee.

PER CURIAM.
