To settle a civil suit and avoid criminal prosecution, Jackson paid a reported $20 million to the family of another boy who alleged that Jackon had sexually molested him. And Jackson has openly stated that sleeping with boys is a wonderful expression of love.
Given that, do you seriously believe that Jackson has not engaged in child molestation? Even if the people bringing new charges are motivated by financial reasons, isn't it in the public interest for child molesters to be removed from society?

Which may prove something and may not ... the fact that a family could have done a whole lot more PR damage than $20M to Michael because he let them get too close is a good reason to shut them off and pay them money as well.
I tend to agree that it is suspicious and deserves further evaluation but I wish the that the authorities and press would do less "guilty, guilty" claiming before they have all the facts. This is contrary to what our country is all about.
And Jackson has openly stated that sleeping with boys is a wonderful expression of love.
To be accurate, he actually said: "Why can't you share your bed? The most loving thing to do, is to share your bed with someone." Small difference, but still important.
Do I think he's guilty? I don't know. Is he wierd? yes, is he excentric? yes, is he gullible, and a target for people that want to take advantage of him? a double yes.
By the way, I believe pedophilics should be locked up for a long time, I don't own any of his albums nor do I even care for his music and I shake my head everytime I see him on TV but I still don't like to see people taken advantage of. It would be a shame to ruin this man's career over some false charges by people that were simply 'bounty hunting'.

Actually, I think he's a twised pervert... and a child molester. I just happen to also have a great deal of disrespect for the U.S. tort system and the bottom-feeding extortionists that it not only permits but promotes.
If I had my way, parents wanting to sue Jackson for touching their kids during private play times would first need to make a case to a Judge for why they're not personally liable for child endangerment and neglect (which is basically what putting your child into the hands of Jackson amounts to).
