Did Michel Foucault, Simone De Beauvoir, Jean Paul Sartre or any of the prominent philosophers that signed the age of consent petition of the 1970s had relationships with minors?

I always see this topic brought again and again every time someone talks about existentialist philosophy or poststructuralist philosophy, but every time I try to investigate a little bit more about it, I always find that it comes from a conservative source or critics of those philosophers (I.e. Guy Sorman, or The Spectator )
Maybe it’s because I don’t know enough French to find any original source, but it always seems to me like it’s just a rumor made entirely to disprove the works of existentialist philosophers and post-structuralist philosophers (French philosophy of the XX century).
So is there really something? Or is it entirely just a rumor?
Also if there was a relation, does it really matter at this point? Does it invalidate their whole body of work?

Beauvoir was in relationships with Bianca Lamblin and Natalie Sorokin when they were 16/17 (age of consent was 15) and she was both their teacher and in her 30s. Sartre also had relationships with them a little later. 

>Does it invalidate their whole body of work?

It doesn't seem clear why it would.
