I have not one iota of interest in accusations made for crimes or wrongs allegedly occurring over a week ago. If you are criminally harmed, make a police report. If you are personally harmed, file a lawsuit. Immediately. I'm lobbying to reduce all statutes of limitation on crimes used for extortion. It sickens me. Michael Jackson, you ask?! I'm not interested in spending public resources to hang a dead man. This is one of those times a reasonable person would make that infamous statement: I don't give a pluck.

I completely get where your coming from, and I appreciate your point of view. I haven't seen the documentary yet it airs over here on Wednesday. However, the Jimmy Saville accusations didn't come out until after he died, people were too frightened to come forward because their are big media moguls protecting this sought of behaviour, that said I am unsure of how I feel about MJ, the fact that boys knew about his penis were concerning, the fact that he had young boys sharing his bed when he was a full grown adult was concerning.
I'm not even sure they could do that, after all didn't his dad or family inherent his estate, or his children? The only money they'd make is from publicly, I'm sure after I've seen the programme I'll have a better idea, has it been aired in the US?
Promotion their new movie about the alleged abuse.
Personally, I believe Jackson likely was guilty. Just based on the weird actions that are admitted. ie. My kid is not spending the night with an adult. I don't care how famous he is.

I agree, it's weird how the unacceptable becomes acceptable when it comes to famous people, I remember having a similar discussion with my mother when this first came out. I was really disappointed in him, I was a fan of his Off The Wall and Thriller albums. Still, it's no secret that paedophiles exists in Hollyweird, maybe Michael experienced it as a kid..
