The VKM book tells a diff story about PP sexually harassing someone by ribbing a new wrestler by making them think he was going to have to blow him at the end of the car trip…but the person who is telling the story is Hogan and I don’t know if the author is savvy enough to know how suspect anything Hulk says is (though that seems a very different avenue than Hogan’s usual fabrications bc it’s told with shame at how scared he was about the whole thing)
Oh there's definitely plenty of stories about Pat doing that kind of thing, just not to kids. From what I understand he really just kind of got lumped in with them in the ring boy thing because of the fact that he was gay and friends with Garvin. The fact he was fired at the same time as Garvin and ole Toehole Phillips doesn't do him any favors looking back at it now but when I researched it years ago I remember coming away with the sense that they had a mini purple panic and just canned everyone who wasn't straight.
There's still accusations that get thrown around about who actually followed through on it and got a push as a result, a lot of people suspect Piper was one because of his push and an interview he gave a few years before he died, but iirc he kind of tip toed around the subject. I've also heard the inverse, like the reason Barry O was the only Orton to never get a push is because he refused Garvin, who used his relationship with Pat to blackball him and make him a jobber.
So I guess I don't think Pat is squeaky clean, but I do think theres some wrestling fan biases that seeped into the way people talked about it...like if he were straight people would have just called it politicking or something but because he was approaching other dudes he was now some kind of dangerous predator.
