The Story of: The Naval Surgeon Sentenced for Sodomy
Sodomy, and the persecution thereof, was a prevalent theme in the newspapers thorughout the 19th century. Stories related to the charge are everywhere.
This case in particular was noted in that the officer is shushed from mentioning high profile names of known personages engaging in sodomy (there was a club in London specifically for like-minded men to meet).
