"What we have here is a pedophile, pure and simple."

I prefer to call it conjecture. Affadavits and settlements are not proof of guilt. How is the affidavit's claim going to be corroborated when all was done in "private?" Why would anyone with or without MJ's stash of cash want to explain everything to the public (as if he would find a willing ear) when it can be avoided? If anyone filed that affidavit against YOU, regardless of your innocence, would you want to sit in court to explain to the public that you do not enjoy sexual contact with children?

If anyone filed that affidavit against YOU, regardless of your innocence, would you want to sit in court to explain to the public that you do not enjoy sexual contact with children? Yes. As many times as it takes. You dont run away from stuff like that. If you are truly innocent, you fight and you fight hard for your reputation. You dont throw money at it and then flitter back to your giant amusement park. (That isnt a reference to you, Fester, by the way)

Michael? Is that you?

A, I would never be foolish enough to put myself in the positions that Jacko goes out of his way to make part of his daily life.

B, I would absolutely fight any false claim vigorously, and do whatever it took to prove my innocence, not pay them off because I didn't want to go to court. This is just silly. Jacko has a whole team of lawyers on retainer who would glady beat down any false claims.

C, much like Monica's stained dress, my understanding is that the boy testified about visually distinct markings on Jacko's block and tackle.

Call it as you see it. I'll call it as I do. And as I call it - He's a sad has-been whose time has long since past and who now relies on self-mutalation and controversy to make up for the loss of his talent. He is also a child molester. Period.
