"...the crime of the parents for subjecting their child to a known pedophile."

I have a big problem with that statement, in spite of all the allegations, Jackson is not a "known" pedophile.

Unfortunately, the first case was never brought to Court, and it's MY opinion that the parents opted not to prosecute, had they truly wished to go to Court, I don't think they could have been stopped.

They took money instead.

I've asked myself how much money I would require to stop the prosecution of the man who molested my children, and I have yet to come up with a figure.

How much would you require?

I don't trust the parents in the original case.

Now, FOX News reports that this kid's mother acussed her ex-husband (the boy's father) of molesting their son (same kid) a few years back, and that her ex says that she's unstable enough to make up this whole thing.

The State dropped all charges.

I will concur that he is not a known pedophile. BUT, knowing what you know, would you have subjected your kid to overnights at his house?

Something smells fishy here. I've said for days that these parents need to be investigated. I'm wondering if some of these parents aren't using their kids, ie. putting them in Jackson's household, to extort money from him.

Even if the parents are totally innocent of extortion, they should have their heads examined.

Jackson might not be a known pedophile in your book, but do you think it odd that he is a known pedophile in many other's books. There are jokes on national tv about jackson's proclivities. If you don't see that he is known as a pedophile and wonder why others see him as that then you are mightly willing to ignore smoke all around.

BTW, OJ Simpson was found not guilty. Would you not have a problem being alone with you and a steak knife??
