Mark Twain’s Disturbing Passion for Collecting Young Girls

Perfect. Хорошо бы на этом тему закрыть, но конца-края пока не видно.

The paper gives no clear indication that Twain actually did anything besides spending time in the company of young girls. If the author of the article had found any evidence for actual committed sexual acts or anything tangible, I'm sure she would have already screamed about the "dirty old man" in the headline.

The book (not "paper") doesn't make the claims you think it makes.
Again, "spending time in company of young girls" is tangible enough for me.
ps
just occur to me: maybe it's just misappropriation of terms. you have a very limited understanding what "dirty old man" is.
