Great point about Michael Jackson.
Note: As long as MJ was alive, he was powerful and rich and he made a lot of money for other powerful and rich people. When he was alive the allegations and rumors were tamped down and they kept a lid on it. After he was dead, there was more money to be made off the sensationalism of the stories, so they became more known. (Similar with Bill Cosby. Once he was too old to make money as a comedian/actor/spokesperson, it was more profitable to make money off the story of his crimes and downfall.)
And the knighted Sir Clement Freud.
Exposed after he died he was a major pedo -1,000s of kids.
