It's a "police blotter" column including a report that somebody with the same name was charged with having sex with a teenager who was known to the person who was charged.
Teens are not prepubescent, and thus the information added to the wiki was false. I've placed the troper On Notice.
Sounds to me like we need to tweak our "don't cite unless a news article has a reputable claim of legal trouble" rule. On top of citing a reputable citation, the summary given on our wiki should reflect what the article link alleges as should make plain we are simply going by the public information at hand. That should provide, at least under American law, a reasonable claim of good faith on our part.
