    I posted it twice. :pac:

    I have a feeling you are the sort that believe that all men are guilty of something, even if they haven't been accused.

    Good luck with that, I have no interest in engaging anymore.

    And do you usually make a habit out of defending grown men sleeping in the same bed as little boys? I’ve a feeling you do....
    If you looked though my posting history I’m sure you’ll find I’m actually more than fair and objective in my views, but can’t say I really give a crap about what your opinion is. Also I take it you’ve no proof the other allegations are false? :pac: :pac:
    All the best ;)

    Nobody on here of sound mind has defended it. But you know that all ready, it's been pointed out to you enough.
    If you looked though my posting history

    Fook no. Your present posting is challenging enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,525 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Yes but usually you have to prove an allegation was false in order to confidently state it as such.

    Unfortunately, you are correct, that you need to prove your innocence outside of court. In court, you just need to prove it's not true beyond reasonable doubt. It's why I personally think suspects in sexual assault cases shouldn't be named until prosecuted.

    I thought you had ran away cos you had no proof? Is this the long goodbye? Bye now :rolleyes:

    but from what I can recall he wouldn't have been mentally sound to be able to defend himself/give evidence.

    Very hard to give evidence yourself when your dead all right. :pac:

    Allegations were made in 2012.

    Forbes had an timeline that does explain somethings.

    Wade Robson when Jackson died.
    Michael Jackson changed the world and, more personally, my life forever. He is the reason I dance, the reason I make music, and one of the main reasons I believe in the pure goodness of humankind. He has been a close friend of mine for 20 years. His music, his movement, his personal words of inspiration and encouragement and his unconditional love will live inside of me forever. I will miss him immeasurably, but I know that he is now at peace and enchanting the heavens with a melody and a moonwalk.

    That's that so.

    Until.
    In 2011, Robson approached John Branca, co-executor of the Michael Jackson Estate, about directing the new Michael Jackson/Cirque du Soleil production, ONE. Robson admitted he wanted the job “badly,” but the Estate ultimately chose someone else for the position.
    In 2012, Robson had a nervous breakdown, triggered, he said, by an obsessive quest for success. His career, in his own words, began to “crumble.”
    That same year, with Robson’s career, finances, and marriage in peril, he began shopping a book that claimed he was sexually abused by Michael Jackson. No publisher picked it up.
    In 2013, Robson filed a $1.5 billion dollar civil lawsuit/creditor’s claim, along with James Safechuck, who also spent time with Jackson in the late ‘80s. Safechuck claimed he only realized he may have been abused when Robson filed his lawsuit. That lawsuit was dismissed by a probate court in 2017.

    Completely agree on the bit in bold.

    It's been explained to you numerous times why a victim might say they weren't abused. Wade himself also explained it. I'm guessing if you watch the documentary he might explain it some more. Somehow I doubt there is any amount of explaining that will be satisfactory for you. There's a lot of people who seem to think this documentary is convincing, even previous Jackson defenders. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Now if there is corroborating evidence fair play but if not I think it is unjust

    No. The film maker did not approach anybody for interview to counter balance or fact check, the interviews are just of the 2 accusers and their families.

    Their families stated multiple times they had no idea any abuse happened, as did the 2 accusers.

    You mean he didn't realize until he was 30 that anally raping a child was wrong? :pac:

    Just so happened that it coincided with him being fooked off at the Jacksons, being broke and the wife about to leave him.

    $$$$$$$

    Yes, It's possible to not think it was rape because of grooming

    From an interview with the director.
    Michael was Wade’s lover and his close friend, to whom he owed a great deal in terms of his career and his life. As he says in the film, there was absolutely no way on Earth that he was going to say anything that might put Michael in jail. Period. And that’s a big point that the film builds up to over three hours to make you understand what happened there and why he then changed his story.


    Yeah. And that’s why Wade says, “I didn’t consider this to be abuse. I loved Michael and Michael loved me.” That persisted for many years, because that was embedded in his psyche when he was seven. And when we’re that age, we’re so malleable and we form our ideas of normality, right? So, for them, this was a normal, healthy thing. And it’s not until many years later — this is so typical of child sexual abuse — that that structure falls apart and they can no longer hold it together.

    A lot of things are possible.

    Probable? no.

    The maid was on 60 Minutes Australia.

    I've just watched the first part of this new documentary. It reminds me very much of the "Abducted in Plain Sight" one. The way he groomed the whole family, and seemed to seek to drive a wedge between them also. Very disturbing stuff.

    If they are both lying, and Safechuck in particular, it's an Oscar winning performance. I don't know how people continue to defend Jackson when the truth of what he was is there for all to see.

    People defend him because the only 2 times he went to court was because of fabricated stories to get money.

    It's a weird situation where if there are real victims it's harder for people to believe because of the high profile fake victims.

    I haven't watched the documentary yet and I've been very sceptical of Wade Robson in the past. But I'll give it a watch in the next week. You can only judge with the information you have


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,210 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    If someone accused me of being a nonce I'd spend every penny I had proving my innocence, Jackson gave the very first kid $20 million in hush money.

    He was a weirdo with a sick fascination about kids.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭TomSweeney


    F*cked up stuff, and I used to defend the guy, really thought it was all bullsh1t.

    Louis Theroux on the heels of his new (and somewhat controversial) documentary about sexually assault gives his opinion on the the Michael Jackson accusations.

    Big fan of Louis, recorded his show last night and look forward to it. "The Hunting Ground" is another good documentary on a similar subject if you haven't seen it, mentions the behaviour of Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston in his college days, a player who is loved by fans nowadays.

    I like Louis' quote in that clip around how we should hold people to a higher standard than just "not criminal"

    Maybe I've been guilty of that a little in not believing the Michael Jackson allegations because he wasn't found guilty. But I do believe that it's a bit different than the R Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Jimmy Savile type cases.

    What sticks with me isn't a view that "MJ was not convicted so that = him not doing anything". It's that he was not convicted in cases where the accusers were clearly lying.

    So the question is if Wade Robson has closeted these feelings for so long or if he is using an opportunity for himself. Is Brett Barnes in this documentary out of interest? I've read through Robson and Barnes' testimonies from 2005 so I'd be interested to know his perspective as he would have been around at the same time and likely witnessed everything Wade did.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Louis has spend enough time around paedos and groomers to be aware of their methodology and seems to know what stinks. “Paying $23million dollars to your accuser doesn’t pass the smell test”.
    Bang on.

    Same Louis was good friends with Jimmy Savile in fairness and smelt nothing, watch his documentary on him.

    In 1993 he was put into a corner though because they filed the civil suit before any criminal charges. They refused to say if they would move on criminal charges after the civil case so it kind of forced his hand because if he beat the civil case they could change the accusations to fit around his defence in the criminal one.

    The fact that no criminal case was filed after the civil one was settled is telling I think. Louis is missing a lot of context with one remark. It's general convention to file criminal charges and then pursue compensation after a conviction, not the other way around!

    Are you saying that you think something happened with Jordy Chandler?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    Jordy Chandler's parent's behaviour doesn't pass the smell test either.

    I’ve seen it, who hasn’t? And I think that documentary did all it could do at the time. It asks the pertinent questions, he just lies and gives evasive answers. I definitely think it’s not a flattering portrayal of Saville and sure i watched it with the benefit of hindsight, but it does leave you with the sense that all is not quite right there. Louis has since stated that he feels he himself was groomed by Saville. Again, it’s not up to Louis to expose anyone. He’s limited in what he can do without landing himself with a lawsuit. I think in that documentary he manages to get the ball rolling and people talking without doing much prodding and poking.

    I’m saying I believe Jackson was a serial predator, groomer and molester and I believe all of his victims. You can believe what you like.

    TBF, the money he got from his grifter parents actions probably saved his life.

    God knows how many times his father tried to kill him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,237 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    It's quite possible that a man who brought children who weren't his own into bed with him molested them while at the same time the parents who allowed him to take their kids to bed with him were shítty people and even opportunists. I'd even go so far that it takes a certain kind of parent send their kid to a sleepover with MJ.

    But none of that changes the fact that he brought them to bed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete

    I don't think anyone would argue the fact that MJ was a bit of an oddball, it's the claims that how he behaved proves that he molested kids which people take issue with.

    The guy for sure saw himself as something of a Jesus figure and was obsessed with remaining child like as a result, citing passages from the bible to support him wanting to do so. He spoke of it many times in interviews. Here's just one of those and during an interrogation regarding molestation claims as it happens:




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    That video is so creepy. He laughs the whole way through serious allegations of interference with young kids and and treats it all as a big joke. Freak.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,857 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    I believe all of his victims

    Which ones?

    Yeah you really really have to think what their motivation might have been.... :confused:

    I wasn't aware of the Jesus stuff but I can already think of quite a few people over the years with a messianic complex who have been very rapey.

    Not to say that a messianic complex supports the idea that he molested people - just that it isn't really a something that would make bringing children into his bed appear innocent.
