The article currently describes damage to his career due to "scandals involving his wife". We live in the 21st century - let's call it what it is: domestic abuse.
Sir Richard Worsley liked cuckolding and forced his wife to participate, even though she eventually came to like the guy she was forced to do the cuckolding with, there are pretty strong indications that she did not start the affair voluntarily. In short, he forced or manipulated his wife into the cuckolding so to be accurate the text of the article should read something like:
"Scandals further damaged his political career. He sued one Captain George Bisset for criminal conversion, i.e. having an affair with his wife. Lady Worsley and Bisset organized a defence based on the fact that he had displayed Lady Worsley naked to various guests and watching her have sex with Bisset in the presence of several witnesses, which succeeded in reducing damages to 1 shilling. Public opinion turned against Worsley, and he left for Spain, Portugal, and France (1783–84, quitting his parliamentary seat after his departure) and wintered in Rome. After further travels, he returned to England in 1788."
Lady Seymour Worsley was unusual because she managed to drag her abusive husband down with herself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A459:D2D6:1:B5BE:13A7:91F:4805 (talk) 11:59, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
