That is also a mistake.
Krishnamurti never called him evil. Although apparently he was not in 
accord with Leadbeater, he showed respect for him. In fact, he went 
to the church when he died, even although the theosophist didn't 
allow him to enter, and he remained outside all the ceremony.
When K. entered in his old room of Adyar (I think it was there) he 
made a reverence before Leadbeater's photo.
And in one instance that people where talking bad of CWL and Besant 
he interrupted and said: "They were very serious people".
If you read the biographies (not only Pupul's and Lutyens') you will 
find interesting statements about this.

the sexual urge is aroused it is almost inherent to address that

Leadbeater got them to do it to him, why else would K call him evil?  
Makes me want to puke thinking about it.
