If I was snopes I would say undetermined but quite possible.
**The Sunday Mirror heard about the shelved story and interviewed Clarke, who said he "never had the slightest interest in children—boys or girls. ... But once they have reached the age of puberty, then it is OK." He added that "there is a hysteria about the whole thing in the West,"
yeah, it ain't looking good, is it? there is a big difference between reaching the age of puberty and past the age of puberty.
