"As a young man Leonardo was arrested for engaging in sodomy. At that time in Florence the punishment for this crime included fines, exile, branding, or even execution. Luckily for Leonardo, another man accused with him also happened to have strong connections to the influential Medici family. The charges were soon dropped against both of them."
