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.
