This is less than certain. The Daily Mirror story was retracted. Sri Lanka police investigations could not find anything. Its not even clear that he was homosexual--- while he never denied suggestions that he was "gay" he never confirmed them "in public". I would see him "innocent" (despite whatever I may suspect) until proven guilty. Doubt? There is always doubt!
[personally I feel his contributions have been horribly over-rated and I never viewed him as a terribly gifted writer or technologist--- 2001 was a great film but that's because Stanley Kubrick was a gifted and technologically astute filmmaker]
