Did Michael Jackson molest children?

hello i am 16 and an up incomming musician my life for as long as i have ever known was hell i said to myself a long time ago when i was about 10 i said to my self when i become rich and famous i wanna make sure that no child go through what i went through but because of the way the world is now if a child needed a ride home from school and you didnt know them you would be better off leaving him/her there alone than picking him/her up


so sick of what the world has become o wait it hasnt changed were just alot more open and in everyones buiesness

Michael Jackson did not molest those kids. I can't tell you how I know....I just do... and so does GOD.

The two competing scenarios are:

1. MJ was guilty of pedophilia.
2. MJ's accusers were guilty of extortion.

I find '2' more likely. It seems highly plausible, having run the Neverland Ranch for that long, and being such an eccentric person in both behavior and appearance, that such an accusation would occur. Given that the parents of the kid MJ was accused of molesting had a track-record of lying, this really seems to confirm this scenario. Ultimately, the court not only failed to find any conclusive evidence against him, but the jury said that they "confidently came to their verdict". I can't rule out the possibility he was guilty, but the evidence strongly points towards his innocence. Furthermore, as a matter of principle, I believe people should be regarded as innocent until proven guilty. I've seen first hand that self-described "good people" can talk themselves into a lie that benefits them, even if it costs another person their time, money, and reputation. The principle of presuming innocence serves to fight that injustice.

Common sense tells me that heterosexual adult men do not sleep in the same bed as children. They also do not spend millions of dollars turning themselves into a pseudo woman. Are the people who believe Jackson was innocent insane?

You don’t get arrested and spend millions of dollars on an elite defense team and months and months in court if there is no evidence against you. Without evidence a judge will throw the case out immediately. In addition why would anyone award a family millions of dollars to drop the charges against you if you were innocent? In my mind that is as good as admitting guilt. If he was innocent he should have defended his good name to the end.

Defenders of Jackson keep saying that the so called “haters” are uneducated in regards to the facts but in reality they are actually the people who unaware and blind to the facts. Have none of you ever heard of his secret room and the contents that were discovered during the police search of Neverland Ranch? The thousands of pornographic items belonging to Jackson that was uncovered? Why would an innocent childlike man have these items? Do you not remember him admitting to serving alcohol to young children who were there for “sleepovers”? Open your eyes and pretend for a moment that these same facts and charges were in relation to man living in your neighborhood and see if you still feel the same about Jackson.

Whether or not Jackson was a product of his abusive childhood or was considered by his many fans as talented is irrelevant. Personally I look at the facts and put aside any like or dislike for the music and common sense tells me he was a deeply disturbed child molester.

The proof of him molesting children was never found.

Michael Jackson had the greatest music i think i ever heard....when i first saw his one Video you're not alone it damn near made me cry, all the heartless people who are talking down on him just because they think he had molested children...they think he did they can't say he did because the judge said he didn't. ok? all ya'll who are talkin down on a dead guy have nothing better to do in your life! i think everyone should gain some respect for the people who are dead...especially Michael Jackson. ok? the guy had great music and people who make lyrics like that is not going to molest kids! you watch his video then you will see how he treated the kids in the video from that i can tell he dont molest kids. alot of ya'll need a reality check im sorry but you do. again Sorry if this offends ya'll in anyway!

In pure visceral terms, John Lennon's hit song Imagine remains the greatest musical expression of global desire for world peace and unity that we have ever known. Michael Jackson’s 1988 video Man in the Mirror was on a similar trajectory toward inspiring a closer look at mass consciousness. If Jackson’s bold political commentary and visual depictions of the horrors of imperialist tendencies signaled a Lennonesque problem for those in power, it would have been dwarfed in scope by the public fervor ready to be unleashed over the nightmare unfolding in New England.

Indictments of Catholic Priests came fast and furious from 1992-1993. Within the year, twenty nine hundred miles away, in August of 1993, a confidential case report completed by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services was leaked to Hard Copy television. Within hours a British tabloid sold copies to reporters for $750 each. Dramatic headlines offered lurid speculation around allegations of sexual molestation. By September 1994, police officials had interviewed more than 400 witnesses when prosecutors announced that no child molestation charges would be filed. Former employees who first testified that they never witnessed anything sexual were only too happy to recant and claim that they had witnessed something after their extortion attempts failed.

While Jackson had not yet become the threat that Lennon remained as a revolutionary activist, one would have to concede that stopping his momentum could have easily been an underling factor in the timing of the second set of charges. Indeed, only a “child molester poster-boy” as large as the Grand Canyon, could effectively divert public attention so that collective anger against the Catholic Church would not insure its ultimate and speedy demise.

ackson appears to have been a handy and convenient target for an establishment in desperate need for a scapegoat to spare the legions of Church leaders that “kept horrific tales of abuse out of the public eye through an elaborate culture of secrecy, deception, and intimidation.

By the end of 2002, it was clear that we were not dealing with one or two isolated incidents. Some 1,200 priests had been accused of abuse nationwide. “[R]epeat abusers, including priests who traded drugs for sex with minors, fathered children, and physically assaulted their victims:” were known predators that church officials shuffled from parish to another-- where they abused again.

In April 2004, Jackson was charged. According to Rolling Stone Magazine Jackson’s trial was nothing less than a zoo and a freak show. “The prosecution's case [boiled] down to this: In a panic over negative publicity, Jackson conspires to kidnap a boy and force him to deny acts of molestation that in fact never happened, and then he gets over his panic just long enough to actually molest the child at the very moment when the whole world is watching.”

You decide?

I think he was not a molester at all...He was too caring person to be a molester. I have been a fan of his for 22 years and seen enough to convince me that he was an innocent caring loving person.

He was a true humanitarian...There are a lot of scumbag celebrities out there and all they do is to look nice and change lovers and cause scandals to attract attention and be in the news and there is nothing they are good for other than that!

In order to understand MJ you need to imagine yourself working since age 5!!!! All that attention, all that scrutiny all the time...Also incredible success...This is a coctail of events enough to shift any "normal" to a different level of normal....I say normal because I do think he was more normal than most given the circumstances...

The only thing I am upset about is him getting hooked on drugs. I keep asking myself what might have possessed him to do that or what got him into drugs...Yet, I must say he still did his best to give the right message to the youth about drugs, even if he was a victim of them, which I respect.

I think his talent will be remembered forever. In a way I see him like the Mozart of today...Saying that Mozart wasn't exactly a guy who conformed to what was considered to be the "normal" at the time, was he????

Perhaps it is part and parcel of being this gifted as well...

Michael Jackson wasn't a child abuser. The kids who accused him will soon be writing books and trying to get film deals to make a bit of cash out of the whole sordid sorry story.

I suffer from vitiligo since I'm five years old. At the age of 30, my whole body is white and depigmented and my mom used to try and use make-up to cover the blotches but than stopped as I had allergic reactions from some products. So yeah, I'm whiter than a blanket and have to avoid the sun at all accounts.

My husband's white and I'm mixed race. We have a beautiful little daughter born with jet-black hair and blue eyes. She's two now and her hair's changed to blonde.

Neither my husband or I have blue eyes and everyone swore that my daughter's eyes will change...Does it matter though?

Michael Jackson adored his kids. He was compassionate and loveable and wanted to believe the best about everyone. He gave to charities and wanted to save the world. Many of us want to do that, but Michael actually tried to make a difference by giving himself unconditionally to others...And all he got back was abuse.

I love you Michael Jackson...I hope that your children would be well-looked after and I'm sure that your true fans will let them know what a wonderful person you were!!!!

MJ was an obvious target....
he looked strange, he behaved strangely....he admitted to having a peter pan complex....it was NO secret he was abused growing up....AND, the kicker...he had MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of dollars....

so....think about it.....here you've got a multimillionare who is known for being strange, who has a peter pan complex, who looks weird and who allows thousands of children to visit his home each year......hmmm, sounds like a perfect target to me! and guess what, it ALMOST worked


RIP MJ
I love you and miss you more than you will ever know. This world was VERY unfair to you....hopefull heavan is treating you better :)

people just wanted his money he was proven inoccemt you gus just want to believe he is bad no one cares about the good thins he did like play good music now all music is about who guys a fucking and treating girls like shit micheals music was different and he actaully cared for his fans you guys are all blinded you guys are brain washed by the media

Michael Jackson was the kindest person with the biggest heart and anyone who thinks that he molested children is just stupid and needs to get their facts straight. Neverland was a place where little kids went to have fun because they were dieing. he never had a childhood and he wanted all the kids to have what he couldn't. That story about how he molested the 13 year old kid is just a lie. i know for a fact that he would NEVER do something like that. he just let the kid sleep in his bed while he slept somewhere else. In my opinion.... i think that the parents just wanted money and needed and excuse to get it. Michael Jackson was the King of Pop. its amazing how it takes one death to show the world who great and successful he was. R.I.P Michael Jackson.

NO michael was the most caring and giving person in the world! the media made him seem bad, but he has a kind heart and loves kids. plus he's a strong believer in god and a big christian. i do not believe a single thing they have said about the molestation..how do you know those boys perents just wanted money? I LOVE YOU MICHEAL, R.I.P.!

ACTUALLY Neverland is not all about porn, booze and sex with boys. He had that because he could not have a childhood of his own. He was singing on T.V. since he was 5 and he worked like a dog. He didn't have enought time for a chlidhood. SO

I mostley agree because Michael Jackson has reported and have said on the news at Neverlands... He quoted... " Why cant little kids just share there beds" and thats why i agree that The Neverlands is a about sex and touching little boys!!!!!!!!!!!

No.

He is one wacky fella. Perhaps a little mentally unhinged.
It was a case of people believing what they want to believe.

Shame he lost all his money, career, fame... because of false accusations.
