Lord Devlin's elderly daughter accuses him of sexually abusing her as a child

Story here.  Devlin is best-known in philosophical and jurisprudential circles for defending the view (against H.L.A. Hart) that the criminal law should concern itself with "immorality," even when no one was harmed.  At issue then was the criminalization of homosexuality, which was legalized shortly thereafter in Britain.  In  light of this revelation, one might surmise that there was more than a little reaction formation going on with Devlin's side of the debate.
