I hope those who would convict first and ask questions later watched at least some of the TV show that refuted some other smear job from a year ago or so.

Consider this: you may be in denial, just like all my Santa Ynez Valley neighbors who are so sure these charges are false, they allow their children to hang out at Neverland.

I worked at Atascadero State Hospital, chock full of sex offenders, and Michael Jackson is a classic pedophole. Of course because of his money, MJ entices victims with a ferris wheel instead of a mini bike, and a chimpanzee instead of a puppy.

He's in Las Vegas. Can they go accross state lines and make the arrest, or have the FBI arrest him, or do they have to wait until he comes back to Cali-Fornia?

I don't have any problem with parents who take their children to Neverland, or allow their children to go on large chaperoned group day-trips there. Michael has a wonderful amusement park, and there's really no reason why kids shouldn't enjoy it. It's the parents who have their kids spending unsupervised time (often including spending the night!) with this clearly disturbed adult man, who ought to be facing some charges.

Frankly, I'm not at all sure he's ever done anything more than what he has said he's done -- share a bed with some of his child friends. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the two boys who've made further allegations were encouraged to do so, and to greatly embellish the truth, by their gold-digging parents. Why the heck else would you let your kid spend the night with him?!?!?!? But what he has confessed to doing is plenty to warrant keeping kids from unsupervised contact with him.

The charges cannot be racially motivated, as we don't know what he is...let alone his ethnicity!

Something is wrong with that testimony. If the kid met Michael when he was 5 and the trip to Las Vegas was in 1993 and the kid is 13 now, then one of those statements is inaccurate.

For all of you that I've seen on these M.J. threads defending him, typically, I understand various opinions. But whether you personally believe M.J. is guilty or not, his profile is classic for a pedophile. I hope you please take a moment to recognize these characteristics if you HAVE children.

Pedophile Characteristics

Classic Profile:

He refers the interaction with children be termed “a special relationship”

He displays a fascination or unusual interest in children

He makes frequent references to children in exalted or exaggerated terms such as “pure,” “innocent,” ”God sent,” “blissful” and other descriptive labels that seem inappropriate and excessive.

He has hobbies or interests that commonly belong in the realm of a child’s world such as toy collecting, building models of cars or planes. His home or room is decorated in a child’s theme. And often, that theme will reflect the age bracket of his preferred victim.

He is over 30 years of age, single and has few or no friends his own age.

He has systematic and prolonged access to children. Pedophiles, because of the wide age disparity between themselves and their victims, cannot just hang around children. The pedophile has to find a way to legitimize his contact with kids.

Pedophiles are also very adept at locating troubled or withdrawn children. This is a skill they have acquired through years of trial and error. They have come to identify what usually works and what usually doesn’t. The most common technique used by pedophiles to obtain sex from children is the seduction method. This process is very similar to the classic boy/girl courtship. Though the child might be under 10-years-old, the pedophile will lavish gifts upon the target, take him or her to amusement parks, museums, restaurants and other places of interest.

the first i got the notion that there was maybe something a bit perverse about him was when he kept grabbing his crotch in his music videos...did lead to a funny parody though by Weird Al in his "I'm Fat" video

Michael Jackson "arrest warrant issued"
Wed November 19, 2003 05:33 AM ET

By Dan Whitcomb

LOS OLIVOS, California (Reuters) - Police armed with a search warrant are remaining at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch in central California, and a broadcast report has said officers are also carrying an arrest warrant for the pop superstar.

"The Jackson's family attorney has confirmed that the Santa Barbara County Sheriff has issued an arrest warrant for Michael Jackson," NBC Television reported on Wednesday.

Police said without elaboration that they served "a search warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation."

Cable channel Court TV, which broke the story, quoted sources saying there had been a new allegation of sexual abuse brought by a 12-year-old boy against the King of Pop.

In 1994, Jackson reached a multimillion dollar out of court settlement with a 14-year-old boy who accused him of sexual molestation. No criminal charges were brought and Jackson denied any wrongdoing.

"We've seen this before; our response is 'Here we go again;' Michael has 24-hour-a-day supervision with him for the specific reason to protect him from these claims," family attorney Brian Oxman told NBC.

A news conference was scheduled for 11 a.m. PST (7 p.m. British time) in Santa Barbara.

Jackson, 45, was not at his ranch. His spokesman said he had been in Las Vegas for three weeks shooting a pop video.

"We cannot comment on law enforcement's investigation because we do not yet know what it is about. Michael will, as always, cooperate fully with authorities in any investigation even as it is conducted, yet again, while he is not home," said spokesman Stuart Backerman in a statement.

Jackson lashed out at the "rogues' gallery of hucksters and inside sources" who dominated the airwaves on Tuesday speculating on the investigation.

"These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released," Jackson said in the statement.

The search warrant was executed on the day that a new greatest hits collection was released, featuring Jackson's latest single, "One More Chance."

Sheriff's deputies and officials from the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office activated the search warrant on Tuesday morning and stayed at the ranch into the night. Jackson has theme-park rides and a zoo there, which he occasionally throws open to local children.

The syndicated TV show Celebrity Justice said the search was prompted by revelations made by a 12-year-old Los Angeles boy in therapy sessions.

Celebrity Justice said the therapist felt compelled to report the information to authorities under a California law requiring health care professionals who "know or reasonably suspect" child abuse to disclose such suspicions.

Tuesday's search warrant follows a tumultuous year for Jackson, whose talents as an entertainer have been eclipsed by his bizarre personal life.

In February, he revealed in a British television documentary that he sometimes shared his Neverland bedroom with young boys. A 12-year-old cancer survivor called Gavin, spoke of his affection for Jackson and of enjoying sleepovers with the pop star at Neverland.

Jackson later complained that the documentary maker had violated his trust, adding in a statement that he had "never, and would never, treat a child inappropriately or expose them to any harm and totally refutes any suggestions to the contrary."

In November last year, Jackson stunned fans in Berlin by dangling his barefoot baby from a hotel balcony. In June, he settled a $12 million (7.1 million pound) breach of contract lawsuit by his former top advisor, avoiding a trial that threatened to expose details of his financial empire.
