This is from 2015, and it is better written than I expected it to be. Being written for the Smithsonian, it quite naturally glosses over some of the more salacious aspects of Sade's life.

By Francis X. Rocca

The first time the Marquis de Sade went to prison, in 1763, it was under a royal lettre de cachet signed by Louis XV, on charges of "blasphemy and incitement to sacrilege."
