Does it? It has been publicly discussed both in this thread and probably elsewhere. I don't exactly think he needs inside information to state that.

There's a lot of structure to be delved through, and I don't even know if the reporter was even involved, or in what way, which other personae were involved, which of his characters on which of his accounts would have been in the abusing village (and which others would perhaps be living completely separate), &c&c. Surely, you can see the difference?
I honestly cannot. If someone admits anything publically then that is usually proof enough so that he is found guilty.
You mean like when Delamore "admitted" to bagousing his way to millions of LP in world 1, or, more recently, when people were "admitting" left and right that they were exploiting the mushroom poisoning in Salem to gobble their way to thousands in humours? :)
Even if I take the admission to be truthful in itself, however, there's still a whole slew of structure to be dug through. I don't even know if the account on which the admission was made would have any connection to the events that happened ingame, or even if it does, then when and where such things happened (or just how well the description of the admission corresponds to what actually transpired, for that matter), or how things have been permuted afterwards. Maybe he even oathed his way into an enemy village in expectation of divine retribution? I think it's not too difficult to see the difference between this and someone being caught red-handed, where the actual perpetrator, time, place and instrument are all clear as day to see.

That's not really the case, though. Rather, I haven't even been able to strictly make any connection between any actual occurrence and anyone in Dis.
