Is saying the guy never abused children glorifying and defending him? I don't think so, the guy is a murdering scumbag. I don't care what crimes he did, accusing someone of sexually abusing children is one of the worst accusations you can make. The fact that several books were written on the matter and none of them touch on it tends to speak more for the veracity of the charge than some guy on a message board. It would be one thing to say that there were rumors but to just out and out say "Yes, he did it" is going a little too far.
