I never took it as an accusation, more of an insult. I honestly don’t remember if he doubled down or not, but I do seem to recall he backed off after threats to sue. Dangerous insult to use. - if you call someone an asshole, it’s pretty clear it’s hyperbole. Pedophile, not so much.
He doubled down enough to hire a PI to investigate Unsworth and to tell Buzzfeed that they were “defending a child rapist” when they approached him for a comment, which is doubling down enough for me. He did claim it was all jokes and insults when Unsworth (unsuccessfully) tried to sue him for defamation

Fair enough, thanks for the reminder.
