Yes, I do conflate the two things but didn't Rekieta say exacty this? I seem to recall him saying specifically that Monty was a paedophile who likes to suck little boys dicks. One thing might refer to a state of mind, but saying he sucks little boy dicks backs that up by reference to a specific action.
I can't find the clip off hand, but I've also seen Rekieta saying that he says it's reasonable to make the assumption that Monty likes sucking little boy's dicks because he once made a movie in the style of those Japanese pinku gore/porn things involving the kidnap/torture of someone who may or may not have been underage. Hard to say exactly how old the person was because they wore a mask, but I'm pretty sure I've seen Monty saying that the actress was actually of age.
Rekieta obviously thinks it's worth his time and money to roll the dice in court over the issue. If I'd said those things, I'd be making a grovelling apology to Monty as soon as I possibly could. There's so much to lose and absolutely nothing to gain by fighting a case like this.
