I read that on smoking gun as well. If that happened to your child would you let it go with a payoff? Or would you see it through until the guy was in jail?

Pelicano was Jackson't lead negotiator and was threatening the the victim and his father saying "take the money or else."

Good question. Here's another: Do you think that getting a conviction back in '93, when Jackson was arguably still the biggest name in entertainment, was very likely? And another: If advised by competent counsel that a conviction was never going to happen, would you accept a payoff that forever taints Jackson with the presumption of guilt?

I wouldn't take one lousy cent but prosecution would depend on the kid and if I thought the child could deal with it. I might settle for an agreement that Jackson go on tv and admit he did it and say no child was safe with him. I would hope a child of mine would be able to testify and deal with the aftermath. But kids are not always able to do that. In any case this mom sounds like she was complicit. And why didn't the Dad do something, sure he was the non custodial parent, but did he know that his son was sleeping with Jackson.
