To be clear, per the article, Comstock wasn't the accused -- he was the accuser; the accusee was one LeGrange Brown.
(BTW, Anthony Comstock[0] is the namesake of the Comstock Act of 1873[1], concerning the sending of obscene materials, contraception and abortion drugs via the US Postal Service; it has been mentioned recently in the news due to the attempt by anti-abortionists to use it to prevent drugs like mifepristone being sent via the mail[2][3]).
