Do we need to sully this man's reputation with innuendo? Are we going to add innuendo to all the other people's entries that we may have heard rumours about?

What innuendo? That he took nude pictures of children is an easily verified historical fact. The book is still available in libraries in countries that don't have their heads up their ass about nudity the way the US does. It is not verifiable that he ever abused children in any way, and the article, properly, makes no such accusation. There is some evidence that he asked Alice Liddel's parents for permission to marry her, but again, no evidence of any abuse, and considerable evidence to suggest otherwise. --LDC

When Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was 31 and Alice Liddle was 11 he wanted to marry her but his proposition was declined by her parents.
Later when she was 13 he remarked that she had changed for the worse and lost all his interest in her. The same lack of interest after puberty ensued with almost 100 other girls. Notably he was never on friendly terms with boys.
