Under the statute of Illinois the purpose or intent is the gist of the offense, and is complete the moment the female shall be removed beyond the control of her parents or of any other person having the lawful charge of her whether illicit intercourse takes place or not.113

If the accused solicits or induces the female to go with him for the purpose mentioned in the statute, then she was "taken away" by him.114

To make out the offense under some statutes it must appear that the accused took the female away for the purpose of prostitution or concubinage; for, if she goes of her own free will there is no offense.115

But under other statutes no matter how willingly the female may go with the accused the crime is complete if he entices her to go without the consent of her legal custodian, and it is not necessary that the taking be with force or violence.116
