Arthur C. Clarke confesses paedophilia

An interesting definition of "confess"; one made-up article in a
downmarket rag and a series of other references, er, denying it. You
might have wanted to select your material more carefully.

Of course, if you did that you'd have found the Sri Lankan police
statement - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/s/w_asia/74938.stm - and
noted that the last which is heard of the story is the Mirror promising
to supply tapes - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/150223.stm - which never
surfaced. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/765385.stm does
imply that it was All Formally Dealt With, but this seems to have been
kept quiet. (I don't believe a lawsuit ever got anywhere...)

says "Arthur C. Clarke today denied a British tabloid's claim that he is
a pedophile".

See, in the version of English spoken by most all English speakers, deny
and confess are more opposite than synonyms. So your statement is
obviously false, and we can waste our time trying to figure out if
you're lying, confused, illiterate, sociopathic, etc., or we can plonk
ya. After a small period of fooling around if it pleases.
