Thinking about some of the implications, I am reminded of Operation Spanner...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Spanner
...and the issues raised by this case,,,,,
*** Operation Spanner was the name of an operation carried out by police in the United Kingdom city of Manchester in 1987, as a result of which a group of homosexuals were convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm for their involvement in consensual sadomasochism over a ten year period. ***
YMMV,
