I remember the other case and I thought MJ acted very guilty.... What I am still trying to understand is "Why were no criminal charges filed?" Did the parents settle and refuse to cooperate with the police? If any of what is alleged is true, he needs to be in jail or the mental ward... But where is the proof that he is a child molester... And this person who witnessed these horrible acts should come forward and testify... I would think that any confidentiality agreement would be irrelevant when weighed against the safety of children....

IIRC, that is exactly the case. I remember reading an interview way back when, several years after the first go-round, with a detective on the case. He said they were sure that MJ abused kids, but after the financial settlements there was none to testify in court, hence they could not charge him. The detective also indicated that the case was not closed - they would continue on until they had the evidence for a conviction.
