Description
Defendant has appealed from the sentence imposed upon him in accordance with the verdict of a jury finding him guilty of the
crime of immoral molestation of a female minor, as that offense is defined in § 563.160 RSMo 1959, 1 and assessing
his punishment at imprisonment in the State Penitentiary for a term of five years and a fine of $500. Although represented
by counsel at trial, no brief has been filed in his behalf in this court. We, therefore, review all valid assignments of error
set forth in the motion for new trial filed in his behalf, as required by S. Ct. Rule 27.20, and the portions of the record
required by S. Ct. Rule 28.02. The motion for new trial assigns error (1) in the overruling of defendant's application for continuance filed following the
filing of an amended information on the morning the cause came on for trial; (2) in the refusal of defendant's motion to suppress
as evidence and the later admission into evidence of certain photographs constituting visual proof of defendant's guilt; (3)
in (allegedly) permitting the prosecuting attorney to display before the jury and to refer to statements signed by several
girls relating to sexual misconduct of defendant with them; (4) in permitting improper cross-examination of defendant relative
to molestation of other female minors and his arrest therefor; and (5) in the refusal of the court to dismiss the case and
to direct that defendant be proceeded against under §§ 202.700-202.770, relating to criminal sexual psychopathic
persons.
