The 12-year-old boy at the center of the Michael Jackson child molestation scandal may have confessed to his psychiatrist that the pop singer plied him with wine and sleeping pills when he allegedly molested him, according to sources.

The boy has also hired Los Angeles attorney Larry Feldman, the same lawyer who represented the family of a 13-year-old boy who made similar allegations a decade ago, the sources said.

As I said on other thread...Bashir's interview with Jacko had two boys, brothers, one ill. Jacko said he slept in same bedroom. Same kid?

It sure sounds like it. I gotta tell ya, it was after the Bashir interview that The Smoking Gun unearthed the complaint from Jordan Chandler, the original accuser, and what Chandler said Jackson did to get him to agree to an increasing level of sexual contact was to say, 'You don't love me as much as other children who have done it with me.' In the interview, the kid with cancer said that Jacko told him, "If you love me, you will sleep in my bed."

You may or may not remember it, but it's there, and sooner or later, that part of the interview will be shown worldwide. Mark my words.

I thought the dentist dad wrote that screenplay prior to the charges. The dentist did not have custory of the son, tried to stop visits with Michael from what I read. I think he is a more sympathetic character from what I read and took the payoff to end the case,,he was being harassed and I think intimidated by pelliciano

[Sabertooth]

You don't suppose this is the cancer boy
who was in that disturbing video with him, do you?

What a difference a day makes.

[Chantal]

I see that this story does mention cancer.

I bet it's the same boy who was hanging around him and holding his hand on the video shown on TV...

The boy's father was being threatened into taking the money by the same goon who worked for Hitlery to threaten Gennifer Flowers and other Bubba victims.

Mom and Dad need to go to prison for this one.

"Not only preying on a boy, but a DYING boy?"

It's about as bad as it gets.

I'm very concerned that "team" Geragos will let loose with a bunch of rumors, and we all will be accused of "tainting the jury", making it impossible for MJ to get a fair trial. Mark's style is predictable.

We've seen way too much of this lately.

You would think the Jackson defenders would be interested in the fact that Jackson hired the same PI as Hitlery Rotten for the same purpose. Threatening a pervert's victims. When Pellicano threatens Gennifer Flowers, it's bad. But when Pellicano treatens Jackson's victims, it's good?

You may or may not remember it, but it's there, and sooner or later, that part of the interview will be shown worldwide. Mark my words.

You're right on.

I suppose we'll be seeing that pr*ck Bashir again too.

[Justa]

"I seriously wonder if Jacko will face the music or commit suicide?"

Maybe he'll split instead. My guess would be to South America. He's shown he's a committed child molestor being imprisoned would completely turn his world upside-down. Fleeing the country otoh would prevent that while allowing him to continue in his perverse obsession(s).

[Chantal]

MJ is no idiot....he knew what he was doing all along.
His lawyer will say...you knew what MJ was like, why did you let you children in his care? The blame will fall on the parents.

My bet is that it's this kid.

Jacko: 'Children sleep in my bed'

Outrage has followed the latest revelations from Michael Jackson that children share his bedroom at night.

The singer has admitted he has formed a close friendship with a 12-year-old boy, Gavin Arvizo, who regularly spends the night at his Neverland mansion. (Picture: Living with Michael Jackson - a Tonight Special, ITV1)

Gavin said he was suffering from cancer when he first met Jackson, but that his relationship with the star has helped to cure him.

Jackson said he always slept on the floor when Gavin was there.

More than 14 million TV viewers in the UK saw the revelations, made in an ITV1 documentary, Living with Michael Jackson - a Tonight Special.

And broadcast rights have been bought up for the US and Europe. Child care authorities in the US have promised to look closely at the film when it is broadcast there.

Asked in if he and Gavin ever shared a bed, Jackson replied: "No. But I have slept in a bed with many children."

He said: "It's not sexual. We're going to sleep. I tuck them in and I put a little music on and when it's story time I read a book.

"We go to sleep with the fire on and I give them hot milk and cookies. It's very charming and very sweet. It's what the whole world should do."

Gavin said his parents are happy about his friendship with the star, who phones him often in a series of late-night calls.

When told many people would think it inappropriate for a 44-year-old man to share a bed with a young boy, Jackson dismissed them as "ignorant" and "wacky".

"Why can't you share your bed? The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone," he said.

"It's a beautiful thing. It's very right, it's very loving. Because what's wrong with sharing a love?"

His comments were made in the programme in which award-winning Tonight journalist Martin Bashir was given unprecedented access.

Bashir said he was "astonished" to discover Jackson still enjoyed close relationships with young boys.

Jackson was once the undisputed King of Pop, but his reputation never recovered from the scandal which shocked the world in 1994.

He was accused of molesting 13-year-old Jordy Chandler - allegations he has always denied - and paid the boy's parents £18 million to drop a civil case against him.

The other children the star says he has shared a bed with include former child actor Macauley Culkin, his brother Kieran and the Culkin boys' sisters. He said it was always the children's choice to sleep in his bedroom and he was happy to oblige.

Story states at some point Last Spring, apparantly aware of the boy's relationship with Jackson, kids began taunting him in public.

I can't remember for sure when that Bashir interview was shown; was it last spring? Is the interview perhaps how the kids found out about the relationship?

A reporter from Extra was on WLS earlier today, saying they will have a story about MJ and McCauley Culkin, which sounds like they will claim MJ sexually molested him.

WLS also saying that attornies for MJ are making arrangements for MJ to turn himself in.

The parents should be held accountable too.

I agree, what kind of idiot would allow themselves to be bought like this and knowing the past allegations would let their child spend a minute alone with this man/freak.

[LWalk18]

Thanks HLL-

Did anyone see that program? Was this the boy he was holding hands with during the program or was that another boy?

Gavin said his parents are happy about his friendship with the star, who phones him often in a series of late-night calls.

[spectre]

Good find.

I recall we had a running thread on FR the night that special aired. It got wild in here!

There's no dad in the picture. I'm thinking mom started to feel the heat re her pimping operation after the Bashir interview aired, and decided she'd better start playing the "Jacko victimized my kid" game before she landed in jail herself for pimping him.

[Chantal]

Yep, he's the one who was holding Michael's hand while his head rested on his shoulder.....pretty weird...

[Spok]

I hear Jacko is thinking of running...he just needs to find a place where he can blend in...hmmmm
