As for my opinion I do not believe he molested those children. I do believe he behaved inappropriately. I believe MJ was a very broken person that never developed normally mentally or sexually. All you have to do is look at his history of self mutilation, and that is what all those surgeries were about, to see how much he hated himself. Its very sad that with all of his success, especially his early successes that no one stepped up and got him the mental help he needed. How anybody who knew his early history could think that he came through that unscathed is amazing.
