GT generously donated 5 points to establish that murder is not involved it's something more salacious...

There that should eliminate a few possibilities.

I seem to remember, somewhere in the depths of my memory banks (grey cells).

A chap, perhaps ours, refused steadfastly to clothe himself in public.

He even defied court orders to do so......

Not his own public nudity.

Would you like an era, perhaps?

1860 - 1900

I can't tie it down to a specific date, sadly.

If it was not HIS nudity, did he try to cover up someone elses nudity..

A work of art, perhaps

The staff at the museum got fed up, and had him arrested......

no...but ponder more on 'being in charge' - it's nothing like pimping before you go there.

No anti-monarchist sentiments that I can detect.

GT's more on the right lines (at last!)

There is famously a museum of Smut in Pompeii where they hid all the really rude frescos - so no I don't think he could lay claim to being the *first* of anything but what is it pornographers, on the whole, do?
