Under California law the maintenance of such relations with a girl of 17, even with her consent, constitutes statutory rape.She worked as waitress in a Hollywood drugstore, she told the district attorney, in the hope of meeting men from the studios,and almost at once met Armand Knapp, studio messenger; Morris Black, clerk, and Joseph Geraldi. song writer. Knapp told her if she would go to a swimming party at the home of Fred McEvoy, British sportsman and one time Olympic bobsled champion, she could meet Errol Flynn, whom she had long admired on the screen.
