Sodomy in history, January 10th
1924 — A California appellate court rules that charging a person with "an assault to commit the crime against nature" is sufficient, because "every person of ordinary intelligence understands what that crimes is."
1930 — The Washington Supreme Court rules that one partner in an act of sodomy can be convicted even if the other is acquitted.
1952 — The District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals reverses the conviction of a man arrested in Franklin Square by police for solicitation. He is the seventh arrestee in a single night by just one officer. The Court feels that this proves entrapment.
1954 — In England, Peter Wildeblood, Michael Pitt-Rivers, and Lord Montagu are arrested on a sodomy charge in a case in which the government later admits that it used forged evidence. All three are political opponents of the Churchill Administration.
1961 — The New Jersey Supreme Court suspends, until he is "cured," an attorney who had sex with another male.
1966 — The District of Columbia Court of Appeals rules that a person accused of sodomy can be convicted on the lesser charge of an attempt.
1974 — The Missouri Court of Appeals refuses to consider sociological articles in a challenge to the state’s sodomy law
