Yeah, I'm in the Sherlock fandom, and even I require receipts for this one. Not that I don't believe there are a couple of people in the fandom who would be this extreme and trollish, because I'm sure there are. But from what I've seen they're few and far between.

I will say, however, that back a couple of years ago there was a bit of fan wank that got pretty out of hand, where a small but vocal group of johnlockers got overly mobbish in their dislike of toplock. But as OTT as things got at the time, even most of this vocal group weren't going as far as equating toplock with pedophilia. Most of them were arguing that a particular type of toplock (i.e. the Dark Fuck Prince trope) was squicky. A few conflated the DFP trope with rape and felt it was Wrong. A smaller number still conflated all toplock with the DFP trope, and therefore seemed to feel that all toplock was squicky and/or Wrong. A few of them did accuse a specific fanartist of drawing pedophilic toplock fanart (John was distinctly aged down in a lot of the artist's fanart, but none of it was overtly pedophilic). In short: it was a messy time in the fandom, and people were being reactionary asshats, but the kind of trollishness that OP seems to be describing in their secret seems even more OTT and absurd than the worst of what I saw during the height of the bottomlock-vs-toplock wank.

Saying ships you don't like are pedophilia is a relatively recent trend so it makes sense that it wouldn't have featured in arguments had a couple of years ago.
