is denied the committing
Hi, Members and Gurus!!
Is this true that "The crime is denied committing" refers to the past events and "The crime is denied the committing" refers to the future events?
In other words.....
"The crime is denied committing" means "Someone denies that he committed the crime"?
And "The crime is denied the committing" means that people are afraid to commit crimes out of fear of getting caught?
Can the difference of only "the" make the difference?

Hi, Sorry, but both of those sentences sound ridiculous. People are / were afraid to commit crimes out of fear of getting caught. This sounds very good.
