Sodomy in history,October 11th
1915 — A Delaware appellate court rules that fellatio violates the state’s sodomy law.
1935 — A California appellate court violates both statutory and case law in the state by sustaining an oral copulation conviction secured by the admission of the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice.
1965 — The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upholds an oral copulation conviction of two men in California for sex in a restroom stall that was enclosed and viewed from holes in the ceiling overhead.
1995 — A federal judge in Florida refuses to dismiss a suit brought by a man arrested in a restroom for sex. The court finds that the store may have acted in concert with police, thus creating a possible federal civil rights issue. The court also finds that Florida’s privacy provision in its constitution does not give right of action against private individuals.
