Russian bot is russian, and now passing for a Fin.
MLK got blackmailed by J Edgar Hoover, when he ordered the FBI to splice a "scandal" cassette tape from all the wiretap conversations recorded, which was then delivered to his wife.
It was even covered by a comedy series on Comedy Central: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunk_History
So whatever source of trash news you got that shit post from... pretty much inspired themself from that MLK episode.

PS: That level of intellectual failure should be left to American shit posters.

How is that comparable.
1. Statue of person who did bad things but fought for civil rights of Americans
2. Statue of non-American traitorous terrorist who went to war for slavery against American.
And did you even bother to look who picked it up?
The Australian = News Corp = The Sunday Times
They're all the same fucking company so no one new picked it up
I too wonder what Hoover's FBI truly caught on their illegal wiretaps
COINTELPRO's methods included infiltration, burglaries, illegal wiretaps, planting forged documents, and spreading false rumors about key members of target organizations. Some authors have charged that COINTELPRO methods also included inciting violence and arranging murders

It's smear until we have solid evidence.
I don't care how beloved MLK is as a figure here, if it were true and any of the thirsty American news stations got a hold of this story, it would be huge for them. The ratings and PR alone would make FOX news' day for months to come. Also, if true and BBC verified it, they wouldn't care about tarnishing Martin Luther King's legacy, which mind you, if this is true, it would. He's dead, yeah, and it wouldn't undo what he did for civil rights, but it definitely damage his legacy.
Does it matter if he did?
What he will be remembered for is already set in stone.
Among who exactly? Blacks wont budge an inch because they'll view it as white people trying to tear down their heroes (and they aren't necessarily wrong about that). White liberals wont do anything because black people aren't budging on the matter. American conservatives worship MLK for a variety of reasons, and they really don't care about rape via their abortion laws, so they wont do shit either.
The only people who would harp on this are the alt right, and they'll be quickly swept aside as racists.
Way to generalize. I know many "blacks" or "liberals" who wouldn't in their fight mind be able to justify irrefutable evidence of this happening if it's real. Sure, there will be apologists a many, and finger pointers saying "YEAH WELL OUR PRESIDENT IS A GROPER" but by large and large, there is no way to run this story in a positive light, and I don't see most major networks trying to cover it up, ESPECIALLY FOX news. Man the field day they would have on this. You're really underestimating the American media and public's ability to ostracize this for what it is if real in the midst of the #metoo movement.
I don't know how far the ramifications would go, it would probably be considered like a dark chapter and people move on and try to forget, I doubt MLK day would cease to be celebrated, but it'd get nasty and it would be headline stories for weeks to come. More importantly than underestimating the American public's conscience, never underestimate the media's thirst to make money, and a story of this magnitude is money. Look at Bill Cosby. He wasn't even a political figure, he was just a black Mr. Rogers, nowhere near as important as a civil rights movement leader, and they strung him up to dry (justifiably) for us all to throw tomatoes at.
The only reason Trump got away with it because there is tape evidence of him TALKING about groping women, not actually doing it. Actual footage of MLK laughing while a friend rapes a woman? That's damning no matter how much the dishonest sect of the media and public attempt to downplay it.
