There are rumors that some "inappropriate" behavior may have taken place in the early temple, around the time of Joseph Smith in the Navou temple, possibly with Brigham Young in the Salt Lake temple, but I've never heard of anything like this in modern times (the last 100 years).
It's possible that they misheard "consecration", thought they heard "consummation" and filled in the blanks themselves, maybe they embellished with the mirrors from the sealing rooms and made some baseless assumptions.
If this had ever really happened in "modern times", there would be a lot more information out there.
For historical perspective for the hi-jinks in the early temples, Steve Benson posted the information below and it was turned into an archived article:
