A lot of Chomsky’s appeal I believe is due to his politics as his universal grammar theories turned out to be an academic dead end.

But his politics centers around the moral failings of the West so I think yes, if he was involved in the sexual exploitation of trafficked children, then this would devalue his criticism of the morality of the Western political system.
