Etienne-Benjamin Deschauffours (1690, Viviers – 24 May 1726) was a French procurer. He was executed by burning for homosexuality on Place de Grève in Paris after having acted as a pimp of male prostitutes, some of which were underage boys whom he kidnapped, one of whom he was suspected of having murdered.[1]

He was responsible for having prostituted about 200 males to male aristocrats, clerics and noblemen, and his arrested and trials were delayed a long time to avoid scandal, during which he was imprisoned in the Bastille, before he was finally put on trial. His trial were a famous case in his time and attracted a lot of attention.
