Blind Item #7 - Reader Blind

There is a move on to change the name of an award.  The award is named after a deceased iconic foreign writer in a specific genre. In his lifetime, this writer who was gay was publicly cleared of a scandal in a foreign country where he lived.  It is now clear several decades alter that the clearing of the writer had no basis in fact and occurred because too many people both in his home country and the country he lived in had too much invested him.  There are however still living men who as boys were victims of the writer. He was a voracious pedophiles and loved breaking in young boys.
