Drew has posted a response in defense of these allegations.
Having read it as well the “report” on him you linked, I personally find the report lacks credibility. I take much more stock in Drew’s accounting of things, including his mature ownership of the bad decisions he’s made in the past.
As for the Stallman Report: it’s not a smear piece in my view. It’s a whistleblow that outlines an argument why RMS is unfit to lead the FSF with accompanying evidence. You may disagree with some of it, but it’s hardly malicious; I can sympathize with anyone who wishes to see better from the leaders of the major social movements of our day.
And as for why Drew initially denied his involvement, I found his response reasonable:
Myself and the other authors asserted our moral rights to publish anonymously, motivated by our wish to reduce our exposure to the exact sort of harassment I’ve been subjected to over the years.
I don’t know Drew, I don’t really give a shit about him at all. He may well be a terrible human being, worthy of all the scorn cast at him. I have no idea.
However, having all of this scorn thrown at him by what appears to be Kiwifarms (very well known for being a cesspool) after penning an article about what a sack of shit RMS is (the exact kind of scum Kiwi would deify) sure does cast a lot of doubt onto all the accusations made against him.

His rebuttal curiously doesn’t dispute the facts of his pedophilia. It’s included in a blanket denial and then ignored.
Are you claiming those pedophilic accounts aren’t his? Why?
And he did more than “deny” his involvement in the report
That was his report. He can’t be trusted and will openly make bald-faced lies. He’s full of shit and best left in the dustbin of history.
