Is it  relevant to his general notability and significance as a  topic?


-------------------
If *each* statement in a bio has to be, then we should never state when a  
person was born or where, since those are not notable nor significant.  In  fact 
80 to 95 percent of what we have in bios now is not particularly notable or  
significant.  But it's standard to cite those.
 
I'd say that front-page scandals are notable and significant, no matter how  
old they are or who they address.
