Talk:Mann Act

message: The section "Notable individuals arrested" is difficult to read.  It's in a quasi table format, however the text runs together and combined with the use of pronouns (he) it is difficult to tell who is being discussed.  Specifically the transition from Chaplin to Dake gets muddled. Van Vidrine (talk) 14:28, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section difficult to follow 

message: "The first person prosecuted under the act was African-American heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson.[4] He had had an interracial affair with a white prostitute named Lucille Cameron, but she refused to cooperate with the prosecution..."
This should be edited to a more neutral "The first person prosecuted under the act was heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson.[4] He had had an affair with a prostitute named Lucille Cameron, but she refused to cooperate with the prosecution..."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.124.11.250 (talk) 14:49, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  People Prosecuted 

message: The Legal application section states "The Mann Act has also been used by the U.S. federal government to prosecute polygamists (such as Mormon fundamentalists) because the U.S. has no federal law against polygamy." It excludes mention of the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act and the Edmunds Act which were upheld by the Supreme Court in Reynolds v. United States (1878) and Davis v. Beason (1890). See also: Legality of polygamy in the United States. CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 16:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
