I see that this story does mention cancer

According to sources, the boy who made the allegations was a cancer patient whose "last wish" was to meet Jackson at a time that his friends and family feared his illness was worsening.

Jackson paid the family’s medical bills and assisted them financially, even buying them a car and, according to sources, possibly a new house. When the boy’s condition improved, according to a family friend, Jackson brought him to his Neverland Valley Ranch. That is when the alleged inappropriate contact between them is thought to have occurred.

At some point last spring, the boy's schoolmates — apparently aware of his relationship with Jackson — began taunting him in public. In one case, an incident of harassment is said to have occurred at a gas station, prompting the boy’s mother to seek legal advice. The lawyer she met with advised sending the boy to a psychologist. According to my source, the psychologist had enough concerns to report his conversation to the police.

I remember seeing this on tv at the time, a giant media circus put on by MJ to show how 'safe' it was for little kids to be around him and how much he cared and how he still had so many fans. A big PR bid. Only a true sociopath could use an ill child like that to try to create good PR for himself. And now - big shocker, not! - we find that wasn't the worst of it. That poor boy (and his sib, too?, - a brother, I think) was drugged and molested as well? Ick.

Hopefully, his parent(s) has/have learned their lesson and won't take the payoff. Obviously, the payoff received to this point (bills, house, car) has brought them all only pain and suffering thus far.
