Interesting, I was taught at uni that “corrupting young boys” meant corrupting their souls, mainly inventing new gods, questioning traditional values, rituals etc, but you assume "literal" corruption.
Yes I mean and literally.
Plato was homosexual and Socrates either homosexual or/and bisexual (btw bisexuality in ancient Greece was taught and practiced).
You have a similar story in the case of Thaikovskyi in Russia, who was also forced to commit suicide for his sexual orientation.
The history says that he has in love with his nephew. Russian readers know better.
