I’m surprised that you think that description is specific enough to be associated with any one particular Catholic leader.
I’m sure. Both were active child rape supporters.
That article, from almost a year ago, says that he was accused and that he denied the charges. Has anything more definitive either way been determined since then?
I’m not sure what you’re asking for when you say “definitive”. Are you suggesting that a presumption of innocence and beyond a reasonable doubt is the appropriate standard here? The only way any senior person in the Catholic hierarchy could conceivably be innocent would be if they had resigned and blown the whistle. The only question is the degree of culpability.
Presented with case files, Cardinal Ratzinger sometimes set disciplinary measures in motion, even having accused priests defrocked. But other times, the record shows, he took the side of the accused priests and failed to listen to the victims or their warnings that an abuser could violate more young people.
When he resigned, Benedict “left hundreds of culpable bishops in power and a culture of secrecy intact,” she said.
“Instead of remedies, he gave us words,” Ms. Barrett Doyle said. “His failure to enact real change in the church’s handling of sexually abusive priests will be his significant and shameful legacy.”
Someone has written a book about Benedict, not a biography per se, but a memoir of his time with Benedict from 2003 to his death. Archbishop Georg Ganswein was Benedict’s private secretary during that time, and while Benedict was Pope Ganswein was Prefect of the Pontifical Household, i.e. gatekeeper to the Pope’s schedule, a post which he continued to hold under Francis for 7 years.

Take Gänswein’s statements about Ratzinger with a big grain of salt. He was loyal if not submissive to his boss and just like him belongs to the conservative (or in politic terms, right) wing of the Catholic church. Many rather liberal cardinals and bishops, including Pope Francis, have spoken up against Gänswein’s Ratzinger-post–mortem statements and his upcoming book.
(sorry, I can’t find an English cite, but I’ve read a lot about it on German secular and Catholic news services)
ETA: well, I found one source touching on the dispute:
Yet JP2 not only gets a pass, they want him to be a saint.
In fact, he is already a saint, having been canonized by the church in 2014.
A fellow Saint should have known this… 
Given the fact that Paul VI, John XXIII and JPII have already been canonized, I am sure Benedict XVI’s promotion is on its way. He was a member of the Hitler Youth during WWII and his historical handling of the child abuse scandal, so maybe he will be the new Patron Saint of Nazis and Pedophiles…
