    Depends, is the neighbour well off and am I opportunistic and money grabbing with a history of making my kids lie for me to support false sexual assault allegations for monetary gain?

    If so....yeah, offer sounds pretty good.

    That’s risking real sexual abuse for financial gain.

    For the people that think he's innocent here's a question. If your next door neighbour who was a really good dancer and was good at the old karaoke had a bouncy castle and a slide in his garden (despite having no kids) knocked at your door asking if your five year old son could come over and play before spending the night in the same bed as him would you agree to it? And to sweeten the deal imagine he'd been abused by his father and was now a real oddball with a 'childlike innocence' who wanted to heal the children of the world with his love or some bollocks. I mean who could say no to that offer?




    Here's one for you. Jackson didn't have to go knocking on anyone's door. The parents of these children shoved their children in his path


    Leaving guilt or non guilt aside some of these parents aren't fit to have kids imo

    Doesn't prove he was a child molester. He was under investigation for years and on trial cleared of all charges due to lack of evidence.

    Yeah I'd have to be a parent who's ok with that, sure. Do you think such people might exist?

    Also don’t forget he was a big drug user for decades but kept that under wraps too. A devious and deviant character.

    He had an addiction and you can blame his doctors and the people around him for that, his doctor was administering drugs to him that should only be given to someone when in hospital.

    God he was so unfortunate. Kids being delivered to his bed that he didn’t want by opportunistic parents.. drugs being administered to him that he didn’t want by negligent doctors.. insurance claims being settled without his knowledge although signed by him.. porn thrown around the house despite being asexual..
    What an unlucky soul.

    :rolleyes:

    Comparing Jackson with 'a next door neighbor' asking if your child can come for a sleep over doesn't equate. He was one of the most famous people on the planet. I think Jackson was the kind of person for whom the word No didn't apply. If he wanted to have sleep overs with specifically pre-pubescent boys then he was going to have sleep overs with prepubescent boys. From a staff perspective to deny him that might have meant your job. For a courted boy it meant the world that such a superstar, a predator hiding in plain sight, wanted to be their 'friend'. If right-minded parents who saw through the "I'm Petay Pan, chamone" front and prevented it, then there would have been other parents who enabled Jackson into getting what he wanted with the cognitive dissonance that while they knew it was wrong and weird that a grown man wanted to have sleepovers with kids they allowed it so as not to (a) give their son such a crushing disappointment coupled with (b) the idea that if there was any funny business then they could sue the deluded dope for millions. There was that transactional relationship between them all i.e. sure their son was sleeping over but they were minting it with gifts, access and luxuries.

    But to play Devils advocate(ish) for a moment. Even if the victims did come from families who were opportunistic, sadistic, and didn’t really care about the welfare of their children. What makes you think those children still can’t be abused? The situation isn’t so simplistic that it can be divided into two opposing scenarios; either the parents were money grabbing tool bags who had no concern over where their children were, or Jackson was a very shrewd operator, often seeking out the kind of child who accused him so he could dismiss any objections or accusations as greed. Maybe it’s a blend of the two, personally I believe that was the case. Perpetrators frequently seek out children who are particularly trusting, who have broken comes or troubled backgrounds. Abducted in Plain Sight is a good doc to watch on Netflix and showcases how abusers can groom the whole family before they even realise what’s happening. Didn’t Jackson give Jordan’s mother free reign with his credit card? Again, manipulating and charming the whole family in order to achieve a certain goal.

    Based on what?

    I firmly believe MJ was set up by Chandler, Arviso and Tom Sneddon so I need some believable account of something happening before I think he’s comparable to Weinstein

    He engaged in very inappropriate behaviour for sure, he seemed incredibly strange and misguided in his private life and the drugs he was taking from 99 to 05 didn’t help. Just not sure what he’s supposed to have done that’s illegal and hopefully this documentary clears that up.

    Let me play devil's advocate for a second time here.

    Weinstein was set up by Asia Argento - someone herself accused of sexual abuse of a 17 year old, that her husband at the time paid off - and a few others. Most of the "accusations" against him are of consensual sex. There are some of rape, but sure what do you expect from money grabbing attention seeking actresses? It was a badge of honour and a sign you'd hit the big time to accuse him of raping you.

    See how that works? He is a poor lost soul being accused by these horrible evil women.

    But he's an ugly bastard so no one is going to rush to his defence, or the likes of Gary Glitter or Jimmy Savile, like they do with Jacko. Always said that being physically attractive is one of the biggest privileges in life and this proves it.

    What's Jacko's favourite song? I'm forever blowing Bubbles !!! Seems that wasn't all he was blowing ....

    I know some are arguing otherwise but put very plainly, if the cops found any dodgy photos in 2013 they would have charged him with child pornography totally separate to the civil trial. Paying large sums of money to the child would not have had any bearing on the police charging him with child pornography. There is no way in the world that he had child pornography & the police wouldn't charge him.

    They never claimed to have found "child pornography". They found a naked photo of a boy, and one semi naked, but nothing that could be considered illegal material. They simply wanted to introduce it into evidence as an example of inappropriate behaviour ie taking naked photos of boys. Some paedophiles are very careful to stay on the right side of the law when it comes to images. That's why they make and collect "art" books like the ones in Jackson's possession.

    So the cops are lying in their motion then? Or they planted the photos?

    Jackson's team didn't acknowledge that they existed, they asked WTF they were.

    It's explained quite well in the link I posted.

    "Two photographs seized in 1993, and we don't know who they are of or why they're there"

    That's what the lawyer said. So they seem to be acknowledging that they were in fact seized from Neverland (or the Jackson compound, I can't remember which) in 1993. They aren't suggesting they were planted or anything like that which surely if they were they would mention that. Also, a member of staff claimed that they had previously found a photo matching the description , a Polaroid of a naked boy and was asked to destroy it (which he didn't) before the search even happened or the items were made public.

    Anyway, your point was they don't exist but clearly they do.

    It was pretrial, nothing had been handed over.

    He goes on to demand a
    402 preliminary fact hearing

    Which means all evidence has to be handed over and tested, among other things.
    Thomas Mesereau was asked about that alleged photo in a recent podcast by King Jordan Radio he said he had never even seen any such photo, so it apparently was never even shown to the defense – as you are obliged to do with any evidence that you attempt to introduce to Court as a prosecution.

    Mesereau was lead council for the defense.

    How can they suggest something was planted that doesn't exist or they have at least ?

    If they clearly existed they would have been entered as evidence in the Trial, they weren't.

    If the trial judge allowed "girlie mags", etc entered as evidence then he was as sure as hell going to allow 2 Polaroid pictures depicting nude children in a trial about sexual abuse.

    They didn't exist, and that's why you had the Prosecution Lawyer parading around with a copy of 'Jugs over 50' in front of a bemused jury and court room.

    It was beyond farce.

    Ok so the prosecution entered imaginary evidence on their court filings? Like what would even be the point of that if they didn't have them in their possession?

    But crucially, the first few victims of Cosby, Saville, R. Kelly were all dismissed as fantasists attempting to cash in on a famous person's wealth.

    I'd say crucially it is without any doubt that the people who accused Jackson were criminals who fabricated badly concocted stories to extort money form him.

    This documentary might result in more victims of MJ to come forward and the sheer volume of similar stories might prove it do be true. Or maybe not.

    I personally think the document will shine a massive light on Robson and his actual motivations, it's all ready beginning.

    I have no idea, I could speculate if you want. :confused:

    But the more pertinent question is why were they not entered into evidence?

    What do you think?

    How the **** can anyone not think this utter freak was a sick paedophile?

    This is a man who has the faculties to organise and choreography huge groups of people, write or co-write numerous songs, give interviews occasionally, and get married, yet not have the faculties to know sharing your bed with a child is wrong? Are people nuts?

    And then he builds a funfair in his back garden. What, was the sweets in the back of the van trick not that obvious that he had to build a child attraction beacon? Come on kids come over and have fun in my fantasy land.

    He was a sick predator, pure and simple.

    But he was a “child in a man’s body” :rolleyes:
    He was extremely hyper aware to the point his whole house was monitored and rooms alarmed. There wasn’t a thing going on around him that he didn’t have control over. I was never a huge fan of his music but I can appreciate his lyrical talent, and that isn’t born out of a stunted mind. He was extremely shrewd and manipulative and was smarter than leaving a technological trail of child sex abuse images on a computer that can be traced back to him. And not to be crude but it’s not as if he actually needed it, when he was frequently assisted with the real thing on what seems to be a nightly basis. I’ve no doubt in my mind that he found pleasure by just being in bed beside boys, I’m sure it didn’t always have to involve touching or penetration. As someone said earlier is it any wonder the signs of grooming are often missed, when the most obvious and elaborate case the world has ever known is still being defended and justified.

    Every time I believe there is a limit on how utterly gullible people are something like this comes along and blows it out of the water. You get the feeling if there was video footage discovered in the morning of him raping a child they would try to explain that away too. Absolutely astonishing. It's easy to see how something like Nazi Germany happened.

    Jackson
    > Nazi's.

    Fook me!

    So basically the counter point to absolutely no evidence.

    Is, 'look at the Freak he must be guilty'.

    How very scientific. :rolleyes:

    Don't you get it? There is zero proof of him doing any wrong. He was cleared in a court of law. The police found nothing they could charge him with when they raided his home. This includes his PCs.


    His two accusers have repeatedly stated that he never did anything to them. They swore this in a court of law. They have since tried to sue his estate for a billion dollars. A BILLION no less. This failed so they sell their tails to a movie maker.



    Unfortunately too many people choose to believe to tabloid "stories". I grew up on stories of "Wacko Jacko" sleeping in an oxygen chamber, Bleaching his skin because he wanted to be White.



    I don't know if he's guilty or not. No one here does. But reading this thread every little piece of "proof" posted has successfully been discredited by facts. Posters were happy to post fake stories about child porn & many other things. The sad part is these posters while looking for this fake stuff obviously saw the genuine facts but deliberately posted made up internet lies just to win an argument

    If you need scientific proof before you remove kids from dangerous looking weirdos then you are going to get them in a lot of problems. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's probably a duck.

    ..
    Leroy Thomas, one of the fired “Hayvenhurst Five” security guards, was interviewed by Diane Dimond for Hard Copy on November 23, 1993 following that raid on the Jackson family home. According to Thomas, who worked for the Jacksons from 1987 to 1993, Jackson called him and directed him to retrieve and then destroy a picture of nude young boy that was hidden in his locked bathroom. Thomas described the photo as being a “side view of a totally naked prepubescent blond-haired boy with both his genitals and buttocks showing.”

    Thomas said he was instructed by Jackson to destroy the photo, but as it was a Polaroid all he could do was “rip the back off of the picture.”

    You don't need proof to protect kids "just in case". However You should have at least a tiny bit of proof before you label someone a pedophile imo

    This isn't a court of law.

    On the balance of probabilities the man, if you could call him that, was a rampant paedophile. He clearly could have had as much sex or relationships with adult men or women that he wanted yet he slept with young boys instead. Come on man ... wake up!

    Grown man sleeps in same bed as child = 100% automatically a rapist?
