Under statutes containing the words "previous chaste character" of the female in defining the offense, it is competent to show specific acts of sexual intercourse, lewdness, obscene talk, or immoral conduct in defense to the charge.117

The female must possess actual personal virtue under statutes so defining the offense, and evidence of her reputation for chastity is incompetent.118

But under other statutes for the seduction of an unmarried female "of good repute," specific acts of criminal connection with other men cannot be shown.
