When you say "clear his name", that suggests the story about him wasn't true. In which case, the site should be asked to remove the article as it would be libellous. My understanding of it though is that it's entirely true. It just happened a reasonably long time ago. I'm not sure why it's Google's job to censor queries about true stories on the grounds that they happened a few years ago.
