Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A 55 yr old male American citizen was arrested for luring young fishermen into gay sexual acts in the tourist town of Mahabalipuram in 1998. Damn!Magistrate of Tirukazhukundram court pronounced the sentence on July 27 after finding Miles Patrick, a resident of New York, guilty of inducing young fishermen into homosexuality by showing pornographic films and giving narcotics.
The court sentenced Srinivasan, a local associate of Partick, to three-year rigorous imprisonment for aiding and abetting him in his acts.
The two were arrested by the Mahablipuram police last year on a complaint from 25-year old local fisherman Desamuthu.
Patrick, a painter, frequently visited Mahabalipuram, famous for its ancient sculptures and the shore temples, in 1998 and stayed there later. [SOURCE]
Same-sex loving remains illegal in India. Although urban citizens have become more accepting in recent years, the law is still intact.
