McLAUGHLIN V. FLORIDA
379 U.S. 184 (1964)
NATURE OF THE CASE: McLaughlin (D) appealed his conviction under a statute that made it
illegal for a white woman and a Negro man to cohabitate.
FACTS: Ds were charged with a violation of 798.05. The elements of the offense are the
(1) habitual occupation of a room at night, (2) by a Negro and a white person (3) who are
not married. Ds' constitutional contentions were overruled and the jury returned a verdict
of guilty. The Florida Supreme Court affirmed and sustained the validity of 798.05 as
against Ds' claims that the section denied them equal protection of the laws guaranteed by
the Fourteenth Amendment.
