Lawyers say Michael Jackson paid millions in hush money to 'victims'

Wade Robson and James Safechuck may accomplish what countless prosecutors could not: prove in court that Michael Jackson was a serial child molester.

Lawyers claim that Jackson forked out nearly $200 million to as many as 20 victims. Safechuck first met the pop star in 1987 when he was 8 years old. He will testify that Jackson repeatedly molested him a year later during a tour and signed off on a check for more than $1 million to Safechuck’s father. ...

I would personally be banging on the parents of the victims for either their denial of reality or their pimping their own children. Since when would you want your kid spending time overnight with some guy who calls the home Neverland? Sounds sketchy enough to me. Even more so is the fact that all it took was parents taking money to be silent really? Parents who can be bought out repeatedly? That stinks to high heaven on the parents’ part.

I genuinely feel that he may have some mental disability where he has remained or regressed back to the mentality of a child in most of his mental faculties. It seems to be more expressed at certain times so it may also be a split personality that still believes it is a child (common in abuse victims).

Most of the kids who stayed at Neverland say he mostly played children’s games with them, went on rides and had sleepovers like a kid. He acted just like a child in the body of a middle-aged man.

Yes, some of things they did (like kids exploring each other’s bodies or trying booze) can be legally considered abuse/corruption when one party is legally an adult. And some of the kids may feel they were abused when they grow up. Terrible but I think he was mentally ill and unable to understand the adult view of all this rather than a malicious predator.

Either way he should have been kept away from kids but in my gut and from what I heard from those who met him I don’t think he was EVIL as some people like to scream

Of course. What kind of man has sleep-overs with young boys?

His marriage to Marie Presley was a farce so he could gain access to the Presley music catalog. Remember their fake kiss on some awards ceremony and how long did their marriage last?;

His marriage to that other woman was a farce so he could have his own kids to play "Neverland" with. No doubt he had her inseminated with his sperm. Although occassionally seen with other women at functions, name me one long-lasting relationship he had with a female, not including Elizabeth Taylor;

His whining about his abusive and timid mother were excuses. Sheesh, he had the love of the entire world, and he was at the age and place in his life where he could forgive them.

Even if my assertions above are not true, how weird/sick is a person that turns from a good-looking young black man into a bizarre looking white woman? That alone tells me he was one sick puppy. I can understand corrective cosmetic surgery as a person ages, but he went to an extreme that is rarely seen.

BTW, his excuse for bleaching his skin because of vitiligo is a joke. I've had vitiligo all my life and know quite a bit about it. Yes, there is a skin lotion that will bleach cells (kill melanin cells), but Jackson never showed any signs of it in any photos I've ever seen. Plus, it takes quite a while for that lotion to work. He mutilated himself cosmetically as some musicians mutilate their minds with drugs.

With all his talent, he was a pathetic human being. I will never forgive him for hanging his baby over a balcony just to thrill his fans. What kind of parent does that? He was a god in his own mind, but had the self-esteem of a beaten neglected dog in a cage.

Last thought: Why do so many blacks still call Jackson their own when he obviously didn't want to be one of them?
