This is an update to a thread that is currently closed.
The question was whether there was evidence that Calvin was convicted of engaging in homosexual activity as a young man. The original thread petered out before the question could be answered.
I posed the question to Dr. R. Scott Clark of Westminster Seminary California. He poked around a bit, research-wise, and found the answer. It turns out that there was a Roman Catholic priest in Noyon (Calvin's home town) who had the same name - Jean Cauvin - who was the person with the gay issues. Hence, the confusion.
Two guys in a small town with the same name who weren't related? How many times could THAT happen?
