===Child sexual abuse===
In 1928 Loos was disgraced by a pedophilia scandal in Vienna. He had commissioned young girls, aged 8 to 10, from poor families to act as models in his studio. The indictment stated that Loos had exposed himself and forced his young models to participate in sexual acts. He was found partially guilty in a court decision of 1928.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://members.aon.at/andreas.weigel/pdfs/Adolf-Loos-Gerichtsurteil|title=[Rechtskräftiges Gerichtsurteil Adolf Loos] 7 Vr 5707/28/71 |publisher=Members.aon.net |access-date=2015-07-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150704060147/http://members.aon.at/andreas.weigel/pdfs/Adolf-Loos-Gerichtsurteil |archive-date=4 July 2015 }}</ref> In 2008, the original case record was rediscovered and confirmed the accusation.<ref>Christopher Long, Der Fall Loos.
