Apparently Obama and Bush had denied this pardon request.

Jack Johnson Was Pardoned, But Taboo Sex Is Still Being Criminalized
By Jenavieve Hatch
President Donald Trump posthumously pardoned (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/sports/jack-johnson-pardon-trump.html) Jack Johnson on Thursday, erasing the black boxer’s century-old conviction for violating the Mann Act (https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88104308) — a 1910 law that prohibited transporting “any woman or girl” across state lines “for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose” — by driving his white girlfriend from Pittsburgh to Chicago.
All this has happened before
The Mann Act, also known as the White-Slave Traffic Act, was enacted in response to public hysteria (https://archive.org/stream/fightingtraffici00bell#page/n5/mode/2up) about sensational yet unconfirmed reports of white women being kidnapped and trafficked by foreign men.
“There’s a huge range of things that [the act] allowed the government to punish and control,” Alexandra Levy, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, told HuffPost. “It gave tremendous leverage to punish interracial marriage, polygamy and promiscuity.”
Throughout the first half of the 20th century, thousands of people (https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88104308) were prosecuted under the act. Johnson’s conviction (https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88104308) in 1912 was a prime example of the broad power of a law pitched as a way to stop what was at the time called white slavery. His crime was, essentially, being black and driving across state lines with a white woman, even though she went voluntarily and was his girlfriend.

Sylvester Stallone accused of forcing 16-year-old girl into threesome (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?516990-Larry-David-criticized-for-SNL-monologue-on-Jewish-sexual-predators-and-Holocaust&p=6554402&viewfull=1#post6554402)

According to the police report, the unnamed woman, who was staying at the hotel with her family, said she was given keys to a hotel room by the actor’s bodyguard, Michael De Luca. After having sex with Stallone there, the woman claimed that De Luca became involved in the encounter, at which point she became “very uncomfortable”. The woman said there was no physical force involved in the incident, but she felt “intimidated” into having sex with the pair. “She became very uncomfortable with the situation. She states she did not want to have any type of sexual contact with the bodyguard, but felt she had no choice in the matter,” the report claims.
Retired detective sergeant John Samolovitich, who was the head of Las Vegas police force’s sexual assault unit at the time of the alleged incident, confirmed to the Mail that they had obtained a “true” copy of the report.
De Luca, a former professional boxer, died in a 2013 police shooting in California.
The claims against Stallone come in the wake of allegations of sexual assault and harassment made against a number of entertainment industry figures.
