I really didn't want to believe he did these things, but who can really deny it? I love a lot of his music(mainly the older stuff). "Don't stop till you get enough" and "Off the Wall" are two of my favorite songs ever made. But how can you enjoy that stuff knowing what he did?

And then what kind of parents would accept money to not prosecute someone who sexually abused their kids?

[Basil Ransom]

How or why were these children in the company of Jackson anyway?

[2Wycked]

Just a thought - you think Jackson was acting out his lack of childhood by sexualizing these poor children?

Anybody have any links/books about the psychology of pedophilia? Or is it more based in chemical imbalances in the brain?

[Teedub]

He was certainly a very, very odd person. I also suspect, heavily, that he was very strange in his personal dealings with children. Going as far as saying he almost definitely exposed his genitals etc.

Thriller was a great album, I have it in my rotation in my car - that said, a lot of the best tunes were actually written by Rod Temperton! 'Baby Be Mine' is a brilliant song, so catchy, but wasn't written by MJ.

'Paedophile' is an overused word these days, often encompassing men who are attracted to, say 15 year old fully developed girls who are actually (biologically) no different to 18 year old girls. However, regardless of gender, it appears Jackson was actually a proper paedo/pedo and his genius shouldn't overlook the (basically) factual evidence of what he did.

In Michael Jacson's defense it is possible that he was chemically castrated by his acne medication at a young age. Here's the theory: http://www.cracked.com/article_19552_5-i...sense.html

The Smoking Gun had the transcript of the deposition of the kid from the first payoff. Let's just say the kid talked about things that no child could have been coached into saying (which is what his defenders, enablers and apologists like to say). He paid off that kid because he didn't want the gory details coming out in a court of law. He didn't fuck the kid, but getting naked, touching, and I believe he had oral contact with the kid's genitalia is bad enough. His own defense of having sleepovers with kids that are almost in their teens as "cute," or something to that effect gave you some insight into his where Mike was mentally. His telling the kid that this was "their secret" lets you know that he knew what he was doing was wrong, so while I felt a little sorry for him at one time, and understood he was the product of a fucked-up childhood, if you're damn near 50 you have to take responsibility and get some help. I never had any doubt that Mike was a pedo. YEARS ago, I felt he should sell Neverland and get out of the country, which he did for a while in Dubai I believe. It also shows you the power fame has over the masses. Even after all of the accusations of weirdness, parents still allowed their kids to have sleepovers with that weird motherfucker. It's almost as if they HOPED their kid would get freaked by Mike, so they could get paid too. The family and others should have told Mike NO MORE SLEEPOVERS after he had to pay that first kid off. If you can't control yourself, stop putting yourself in situations where you might want to fondle another kid. There's nothing cute about a grown-ass man having sleepovers, unless it's at the Playboy Mansion with a half dozen playmates. But no one ever tried to set him straight. I guess when your living depends on the guy, you aren't looking to spoil that. Shit...fly to the Philippines or Thailand for an appearance, and have boys smuggled into your room at night or something. However, family should have stepped in. It doesn't shock me in the least that there were payoffs that were kept off the radar. When you look back over his life, he seemed to connect best with animals (Muscles the snake, Bubbles the chimp), and children, carrying Emanuel Lewis around like a little doll. Chilling with a young Macauley Culkin. He was definitely arrested mentally.

LaToya is crazy as fuck, but that doesn't mean she was lying. She wrote/talked about Joe Jackson molesting some of the daughters. Rebbie, the oldest girl, got the fuck out of Dodge at the first opportunity. I believe Janet was spared, but as soon as she could break away she did (that's what "Control" was about). The sad thing is, mom knew about it. LaToya said her mom would plead, "Joe, leave the girls alone tonight," or something to that effect.

[Beyond Borders]

Did Michael molest children?

I think this picture says it all...

How many of you feel like Chris Rock in this video? This never gets old.

[samsamsam]

He had a pretty sad life. I remember an article where he would wander the streets alone after his "Thriller" album just trying to talk to someone. Not justifying what he did, but I think he clearly had some development issues.

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/new...7003.story

When I asked why he didn't live on his own like his brothers, rather than at his parents' house, he said, "Oh, no, I think I'd die on my own. I'd be so lonely. Even at home, I'm lonely. I sit in my room and sometimes cry. It is so hard to make friends, and there are some things you can't talk to your parents or family about. I sometimes walk around the neighborhood at night, just hoping to find someone to talk to. But I just end up coming home."

But now these once-secret files have been released by The Mirror which has published astonishing details that will leave many Jackson fans in total shock.

The Mirror? Isn't that the same paper that regularly reports on alien babies and Elvis being alive? I'll wait for some source of a little more repute before I believe any of this shit.

[urbannomad]

I was watching Howard Stern interview week ago with Scott Thorson (Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace) the majority of interview was about Michael Jackson. It was full of detail homosexual acts. (talk about a ear raping) I've always suspected, just thought he was more a weirdo than a sicko. I've haven't felt the same about him..

[Gmac]

I don't buy it. Even if it were true, his talent and music stood on their own.

[Timoteo]

This story is on the front page of the NY Daily News today also. I haven't sat down to read it yet. I think many excused MJ's weirdness and issues with children because of his talent and musical contributions. "Billie Jean" opened up the possibilities to other artists regarding what you could do with music videos. All of his video premieres were events - you rushed home to watch "Friday Night Videos" when you knew MJ was dropping another gem. "Thriller" was the first long-form video. "Smooth Criminal" had some of the tightest shit in it, and broke new ground. "Remember the Time" had all kinds of celebs in it, including Magic Johnson. But with each successive album cover, you could see him sinking deeper into madness.

[Eldon]

The original link is from a conspiracy site. That's not to say MJ didn't have pedo tendencies.

I find it completely bizarre that people on the Internetz, IRL, and MJ's family insist that those 3 kids are biologically related to Michael.

I've always thought of pedophilia as a mental illness that isn't treated correctly when a nonce is thrown away for however many years.

You can throw someone in prison for their actions or possessing child pornography, but at the end of the day they're sexually attracted to kids. Putting them in a cell for 10 years or so isn't going to change that in the same way that if you put a straight man in prison, he'll still be attracted to women (unless he really liked taking showers ) when he leaves and gay men will still be attracted to men when they leave.

It's a mental health issue and needs to be treated as such.

[kosko]

I've seen the damage that neglect or abuse can have on kids. I've met fuked in the head orphans from the massive nurseries in the FSU now 12 years and fuked up out of their minds. MJ literally had his childhood stolen from him, he was forced to be a adult to early and put in more effort and time into his craft then 99% of others.

The over sexualized tendencies is common in these types of folks and though I don't want to believe it was true I do believe that he attempted to break free from his demons later on in his life. He attempted to convert to Islam and a means to get some balance, he attempted to practice buddhism I believe also. Maybe to little to late he wasn't that old when he passed either.

I do look at it in a different context though. His man had his childhood taken away, he did also possibly hurt other kids too but some reason I don't view is blantly as some old predator and I am not sure why yet.

[A CLOCKWORK TRADER]

The first victim that Timoteo is talking about positively identified specific markings on Michael Jackson's genitals. How would a little boy know about that? Was he coached into saying that? But then again what's the point of arguing about this. The fanboys will never accept the fact that Michael Jackson was a pedophile.

Read about his $25M settlement with the first victim here: Jackson Says $25M Settlement Is Not An Admission Of Guilt

[booshala]

Greatest singer, dancer and arguably songwriter of his generation. A great talent like that needs some fucked up fuel to burn. Even as a huge fan, I was convinced that he molested all those kids and probably a lot more at never came to light.

[Matt3B]

This is mental:

[soup]

He was fucked up, but I think the molestation stuff might have been false.

[The Fantasist]

If I was accused of being a paedophile there is no way on earth I would settle out of court, what the fuck! If some kid said I'd molested him I'd want my day in court to prove I was innocent, not do as MJ did and pay for their silence. His actions to me show that he had something to hide at the most, or at the least was a week coward ( that's not a crime however ).

He admitted sharing his bed with children. Sorry but why is he in bed as a grown adult with 12 year old boys? Why the fuck were their parents allowing it? If your next door neighbor had kids in his bed you'd immediately call him a paedophile but because it was MJ people seemed reluctant to put a stop to his actions.

Thirdly if you were accused once by a child and then had to pay them off, we'll surely to god you would not continue sleeping with kids, no?! I was at his 1988 Bad gig at Wembley, incredible showman, loved him, but the guy was a fucking weirdo who should not have been allowed near children.

[Screwston]

Is there any way to read the article?

(NaturalNews) This story has been removed. Why? We ultimately felt it wasn't a good fit for our site and only attracted too much argument among readers.

[rudebwoy]

There is a reason why they had all these molestation cases, I will not get into the full story.

However, I do believe that one of the kids father that accused MJ was going to come clean and was silenced permanently.
