OK, I hate to pitch in with 2 of this forums bigger spoilers, but but since I started the thread...
In SF circles there is one in every crowd that will haul out that pederast tale to malign Clarke, I think because he is generally considered to be gay.
All I'll say is that Clarke actually beat that rap before it even started. The paper that printed it retracted instantly with him following with a lawsuit. Settled out of court and he donated it to children's charities in his adopted country where he'd become kind of a hero. Tabloids used to print small shockers about prominent people in foreign countries, but with modern communications that doesn't work anymore. And, during the time they printed it, the country was having a big crackdown on such abuse, but he wasn't implicated in any of it.
Lock the thread if you want.
