No, since in a criminal trial the standard is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. That hasn't been met here.

This article certainly makes a prima facie case which would be enough to trigger discovery in a civil case. A reasonable person could also think that it has provided proof on the balance of probabilities, which would be enough for civil but not criminal liability.
