STATEMENT BY SIR ARTHUR'S EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
The disgraceful allegations made against Sir Arthur by a British Sunday paper have now been conclusively demolished. The local broadcaster who had taped some of the most serious charges has now sworn, under oath, that they were completely false. And Sir Arthur is very grateful to the IGP and the Crimes Department of the Sri Lanka Police for locating and questioning the other persons mentioned.
The attempts by the paper to link Sir Arthur's name with dubious organisations and individuals suspected to be involved in child-abuse cases have also been proved to be fabrications - or downright lies - by the reporters concerned, who are now themselves under investigation. (One had lost his job attempting to sell a fraudulent 'scoop' to a British tabloid!)
In a last-ditch effort to maintain credibility, the London paper now claims to have an incriminating tape. This is in fact a tape which Sir Arthur insisted on making himself, and giving to the reporters, expressing his abhorrence of any form of sexual exploitation - especially that involving children. Some of his statements have been deliberately taken out of context, to convey the exact opposite of his meaning.
It now seems probable that this whole affair was an attempt to embarrass the Government on the eve of Prince Charles' visit for the 50th Independence Day Celebrations (when he would have formally invested Sir Arthur with his knighthood 'for services to literature'.)
Fortunately, there was enough time for the authorities, here and in the UK, to ascertain that the charges were groundless. Sir Arthur attended the Independence Day Banquet and was warmly greeted by H.E. the President and the Prince of Wales. The photos of Prince Charles and Sir Arthur laughing and shaking hands speak more eloquently than many thousands of words.
It has since been discovered that certain persons and individuals here in Sri Lanka have been engaged for several years in attempts to discredit Sir Arthur for their own purposes. So although the case against him may now be regarded as closed, another investigation is now under way in Colombo to look into this. And, of course, in view of the immense damage done to Sir Arthur's reputation, his London and Washington lawyers are now considering what further action he
should take.

I beleive there were some episodes involving the Trills in which a symbiant who had formerly inhabited a body of a different sex wanted to re-establish a relationship with a former lover.
