Watched loads of his programs and read his books as a kid.

Would hate to think he was that way inclined - Or was it our wonderful British press?

Like most of us on here I'd join in pi55ing on his grave if any of this were true, although it seems like this may be at the very least unsubstantiated.

The only thing even anywhere close to being as terrible as this sort of crime in my view would be to be falsely accused of it.

Quote from wikipedia:

On 26 May 2000 he was made a Knight Bachelor[18] "for services to literature" at a ceremony in Colombo.[19] The award of a knighthood had been announced in the 1998 New Year Honours,[20] but investiture of the award had been delayed, at Clarke's request, because of an accusation, by the British tabloid The Sunday Mirror, of p*******a, which was, however, found to be baseless by Sri Lankan police and retracted by the paper soon after.[21][22][23][24][25][2
