Psychopathia sexualis: With especial reference to contrary sexual instinct

2. L., aged 21; imbecile; degenerate. While he was watching cattle,

his sister of eleven years, with a playmate of eight years, came and told him how some unknown man had attempted to do them violence. L. led the children to a deserted house and attempted coitus with the younger child, but let her go because no emission occurred, and because the child cried out. On the way home he promised to marry her if she would not say anything. At the trial he thought that by marriage he could right the wrong he had done.[119]
