That a well-to-do sexual pervert, of infamous char acter, and following his loathsome practices for years, had, for years, remained undisturbed by the police though he was notorious for evil-doing; That when, at length, a sordid squabble with a young blackguard who ministered to his vices threatened him with exposure, under conditions which made it impossible for the police to remain blind any longer, the victim and companion of his vicious practices was seized and jailed on a charge - technically correct from the legal point of view but repugnant to common-sense and the common instinct for even-handed justice - which finally led to his being sentenced to a reformatory, not for the offence against public morals, but for demanding payment of what, from his point of view, was due to him his partner in wrong-doing, the complainant, going scot-free.
