New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. . Wilson E. Page
March 27, 1900162 N.Y. 272
Summary
The Court reversed the rape conviction because the complainant's testimony was not corroborated by any other evidence, as required by Penal Code § 283. The alleged out‑of‑court statements, the defendant's silence, and an admission of an insult were held insufficient to satisfy the statutory corroboration requirement.
