In an article last August 28, Creative Loafing reported on a number of allegations being made by local judicial critic Alan Beal. These included a claim made in his custody battle with his ex-girlfriend that she had engaged in lesbian acts, which in his view rendered her unsuited to retain custody of their child. Contacted by CL for a response to Beal's charges, the ex-girlfriend acknowledged engaging in these acts and said Beal himself also participated. At that time Beal did not respond to our phone calls for comment on her statements. He has since written to us repeatedly to state vehemently that his former girlfriend's statement as to his participation in these acts is not true. We published his denial on our web site and while we do not think there is any confusion concerning Beal's denial, we are printing this clarification to make his position perfectly clear.
