It concerns James Dubro, now a Canadian crime writer and documentary filmmaker. The information is taken from the Boston Magazine, from an article called Boy Crazy: 

In 1961, Dubro was an openly gay, sexually active fourteen year old living on Beacon Hill, and Socrates was a 22-year-old college student just coming to terms with his attraction to boys. The pair met in a Charles Street coffee shop, where Dubro stopped every day after school to sell copies of the Boston Record-American. 

“[He] chatted me up and offered to buy the five or so papers I had left,” Dubro recalls. 

Socrates took the teen back to his college dorm room, where the pair had the first of many sexual encounters and began a friendship that continues to this day. 

“[Socrates] is extremely loyal to the boys he has had relationships with,” says Dubro. “And a lot of the boys could not have survived without his assistance. To my personal knowledge, he has never abused anyone — and is, if anything, too trusting and self denying to a fault.”
