Do you think MJ was a pedofile???
 

lets have it.

was he or wasn't he.........

curious to see the voting results from the GFY crowd.

yes and Gay

but I loved his music

don't like admitting it but I liked a lot of his music myself too!

He was definitely troubled. They did find him innocent. At this point, it doesn't really matter much to me.

He was a great artist for sure.

Possibly, but the court found him innocent and those parents had a lot to gain by lying. Doesnt matter now, but I would say its a toss up. He was weird, but so talented at the same time. Who knows. RIP Mike

I'm just amazed you spelled every word in your post correctly. Oh, scratch that. It is: pedophile.

Sounds like some of you have forgotten that he paid off a previous accuser to drop their lawsuit.

I agree, but also I think he was a little boy in his own world, so maybe he was just longing for his lost childhood and he was not a pedo, just wanted friends at the age when he "lost" his normal childhood..... and they did have a lot to gain, the people who said he abused them,, $$$$$$$$$$$$$

I don't judge other people other than myself..

bullshit. :2 cents:

I know it's worthy of captain obvious.. but... nobody finds someone innocent in the US court. You ARE innocent. They FAILED to prove guilt. Slight and incredibly important difference.

Also, one perspective might be that he "paid someone off", another perspective is that some child and parent CHOSE to take money from a molester rather than put him away form harming others. Imagine yourself doing that if it had been your child?

The second child and mom were known to have scammed before, and even though they both testified to the jury directly, they FAILED to prove guilt.

My opinion is irrelevant. He was already through a trial, like it or not. And now he's dead.

The question was, "what do you think?"

think about this....

what if, as a parent you KNOW MJ is rich and powerful and you will loose in court and have your name tarnished forever, or you can get a settlement. Which do you take?

the settlement will suggest to everyone he IS guilty ......a judgement hummmm, we ALL know what happens to celebrities in criminal court....

I think if you choose money over putting your childs molester in jail, when you could put him in jail AND sue him civilly and get money.. is the act of someone afraid of losing.

If Jackson was afraid, they'd have offered a plea and he'd accept and by doing so would be admitting guilt.

Settling out of court is what a scared plaintiff does, not what a scared defendant does.

No I dont...I think RyuLion is so right !

just saw the interview with the first kid again that said that Michael touched him, jerked him off and ate his cum... well, that kid is either a liar or Michael indeed a pedo. the interview where Michael said how he enjoys to have kids sleeping in his bed does not make it any better.

How could I know??

thats debatable... be honest if someone touched your child it doesn't matter how much money was offered you'd want to beat the shit out of that person and have them go to jail.

With that said even michael did admit to sleeping in the same bed with kids but he's mind set is different... he never had a childhood literally, so as an adult he tried to live out his childhood... as sick as it may seem to a sane stable person, you can't honestly judge and say how an non-sane person should be if you've never been in that situation.

not saying he did or he didnt just that he was an easy target because of how he was and the money he had.

Whether or not he was actually guilty of the specific charges I don't know. I do think at least one family charged him just for the settlement money.

He definitely definitely had an unhealthy and unnatural obsession with children that put him in that position, who knows how far that went.

I can´t beleive such amount of people who beleive this monster was innocent..

And what I think personally is that the innuendo and circumstantial stuff is about as strong as you can possibly get.. without a conviction.

It's baffling how the jury didnt convict him, and 2 of the jury said a couple of weeks later that they thought he was guilty. Head shaking. But what can you do?

anyone who has been raped by a celeb, and have lost the case have always continued to stand by there claim regardless of a settlement or not. it just seem odd, not saying he didn't do it but some people will say and do anything for money.

Well, the numerous accusations and court settlements, plus him liking to have boys sleep in his bed certainly don't make him look like he was innocent.

If someone touched my kid., I would do everything in my power to bring that person down. And if the law does not get them, well then I might. I would NOT take a pay off and BOTH of those families did.

I remember a class trip in 6th grade to a cider mill. It was a fall day and I had a green hooded sweatshirt on. They were popular at the time. We went into a room where guys were up on a big contraption dumping in apples and all of a sudden the overhead lights went out. Everyone freaked out and I felt myself being shouldered aside and the lights came on and some worker grabbed me by the shirt and hauled me around yelling at me about safety and shit.
After that drama I looked over at another kid standing by the lightswitch wearing the same green hooded sweatshirt as me and I knew what happened. He fucking turned the lights off and I almost got my ass kicked by an adult because I sure looked guilty.

In the first case even though a settlement was paid the charges were still investigated by the sheriffs department. The inquiry was closed without charges being filed due to lack of evidence. In the second trial he was found innocent and as I recall had quite a few celebrities that testified that they were contacted by the family and asked for money.

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.

This song say it all

I do think he was guilty of child molestation - and got off lucky (no pun intended) :winkwink:

And if he wasn't guilty - he was certainly a colossal dumbass for putting himself in a position of perceived improprieties and indiscretions.

A few things are certain.


• He's dead.

• We'll never know the truth.

• He'll molest no more children.

:2 cents:

no comment

He certainly didn't do himself any favours, but i still have my doubts whether he did actually molest any children...

They just replayed that interview where he said he "enjoys sleeping with other people's children".

Guilty as sin.

I am by no means defending him sleeping in the same room as children and it is definitely bizarre behavior for an adult but inappropriate and bizarre behavior does not equal criminal behavior. And no I would not be alright with my son sharing a bed or a room with a grown man under those circumstances and the fact that those parents let their children go there unsupervised shows to me that maybe they were looking at a payout.

i was gang raped by micheal jackson, tom cruise, and john travolta but i liked it... :2 cents:

He is weird, we know that.

Do I think he is a CHIMO ?
NO!

you never know for sure. I know his music changed the pop world

Which one of them touched your penis?

I think he was very troubled and very misunderstood.


He was found not guilty twice and that was after he paid off one family. He became a target after the 1st payoff.



If he were a pedophile, "Webster" Emanual Lewis and Macally Caulkin would have been victims too. He spent a lot of time with those two.




Now the guy is dead and its pretty sad that with all the people around him, he was always alone and misunderstood.

I've heard Tom Cruise has a small winky. True ??

just beat it!!!!!!!!

No one knows the truth ... since the court acquitted him on all 10 counts in 2005 ... I guess he was not.

There are no secrets anymore :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i think he has some problems but i dont think he's truly a pedo

Pedo, and only had two good songs with the Jackson 5

You'd have to ask the kid who got paid off, but he ain't talking.

I didn't follow any of the trials so I don't know the details. If he did it, he's a monster. If he didn't do it, it's a disgrace what he was put through.

there was never a shred of evidence so...dont think so but who knows

Def a pedo... no way he would settle out of court for 10s of millions with families if he was innocent...

The thing about Jacko is that normally youd say "no way he would settle out of court if he was innocent" because thats a logical way of looking at it.

Jacko isnt logical as youve seen from the way he behaves, and drugged himself to death. You can make sense of what he did there, it was just his way of escaping his problem.

He's never been proven guilty and I dont believe he was a pedo either, just totally misunderstood.
