Jacques Chausson (c. 1618 – December 29, 1661) was a French ex-customs manager and writer. He was arrested on August 16, 1661 and charged with attempted rape of a young nobleman, Octave des Valons. He was convicted of sodomy and sentenced to death. His tongue was cut out and he was burned at the stake (without being suffocated first, the more common and "merciful" practice).
