In 1940, around 20 gay men were prosecuted for "moral crimes" at the Rådhus Court. One of them was an aristocrat and former military officer. In a letter, he appealed for a conditional sentence as, "serving a sentence of imprisonment in front of my family would mean complete disaster". The sentence was two months' imprisonment, but the Court of Appeal changed it to a suspended sentence. Six months later, he took his own life.
