Dear, dear Sir Francis, I can't help but note the amazing irony of the founder of the Hellfire Club wringing his hands over sex crimes.

Dashwood was an English knight and Lord Despenser, Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, elected member of The Royal Society, elected as Member of Parliament for Weymouth & Melcombe Regis, elected as Member of Parliament for New Romney, appointed Colonel of the Bucks Militia, appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, Postmaster-General, and great friend of Ben Franklin, the American Deputy Postmaster-General.
Franklin wrote:
"I am in this house as much at my ease as if it was my own, and the gardens are a paradise. But a pleasanter thing is the kind countenance, the facetious and very intelligent conversation of Mine Host, who, having been for many years engaged in public affairs, seen all parts of Europe, and kept the best company in the world, is himself the best existing."
Dashwood also went to bat for Americans and tried to negotiate a favorable agreement for the colonies in Parliament.
