I don't think it is a matter of celebrity justice. When you set the hysteria aside, there are some facts you should take into consideration.

The "victim" is a teenager, not a small child. Teenagers have an interest in sex and many are sexually active. In fact, one out of three sex offenders is a teenage boy under the age of 18!!!

We should be always concerned to protect the sexual innocence of children, particularly small children, but when teenagers are involved, there is an issue of mutual interaction. I know what the law states, but that does not mean the law is right or logical.

Does anyone really believe Michael Jackson could really harm a teenage boy? The guy weighs least than most teenagers. He only weighs 120 pounds.

The teenager was 13 at the time of the alleged offense and was also suffering from cancer. Further, force will not be advanced by the Prosecution as the means of commission, seduction and use of an intoxicant will be, so Jacko's frailty is irrelevant
