Clarification needed: "It was the first time since Oscar Wilde in 1895 that this law had led to a conviction." presumably this refers to the law on buggery - but Oscar Wilde was not convicted of that. And if it refers to Gross indecency (which Oscar Wilde was convicted of), it's not correct since Alan Turing had been convicted in 1952.
