Wilde’s lust for young boys in the spotlight

A new documentary is set to shine the spotlight on Oscar Wilde’s predatory lust for young boys from the poorest ranks of society.

The RTÉ series, Scannal, examines the writer’s fall from grace in the greatest gay sex scandal of the 19th century.

While he is one of the most celebrated Irish writers, many experts and academics express concern about his lack of morality when it came to sex.
