ACCUSING Michael Jackson of sexual abuse comes with a hefty price tag.

A decade after shocking the world with allegations in 1993 that he was molested by the bizarro superstar, the lives of a California man and his relatives remain a living hell.

Proof to me that oftentimes you are better off going foward with charges- if the boy had testified, and Jackson had been convicted, it is likely he would be able harass the family as he has from just paying them off.

[ernie pantuso]

True enough. But, the uncle seems to be saying that the family--or at least the boy's father--wanted to prosecute but Garcetti wasn't interested.

"Garcetti wasn't interested"

I saw a show last night on Court TV that made the same accusation. They interviewed P.I. Ernie Rizzo who said that only in L.A. could the king of perverts skate like he did.

Man is this a sick world:

Pop star sleeping with and molesting boys
Parents delivering children to pop star's house even after
the 93 allegations
Fans of pop star flying across the world to harrass and
threaten accuser and family
Pop star getting away with it because he has money

I know nothing is new under the sun, but stuff like this just makes me sick.

I'm not excusing Jackson, and I think it is a bad idea to sleep with other peoples children, but I haven't heard any specific allegations as to what he has done.

He may be guilty, he may not be, but shouldn't we wait to see what the charges actually are? If he is so dangerous why aren't the parents being brought up on endangerment charges?

When I slept with my babies, from birth to teen I would give them backrubs and kisses. There is nothing close to molestation in that, and so far that is all I've heard Jackson accused of.

Of course, the new charges seem to be more serious, but until they name them, I'll leave off comment.

I do feel sorry for Jackson and feel that while weird, he is probably just still a 5 year old boy trying to have a childhood.

That is inappropriate behavior for anyone other than a parent. You need to get a clue.

I do feel sorry for Jackson

I don't. He's had ten years to wise up and change his behaviors. Like many of the rich and powerful, he thinks society's mores do not apply to him.

If Pellicano was hired by both the Clintons and by Jackson, the purpose of harassment of victims of sexual abuse comes to mind: The slashing of tires, the killing of cats, death threats, beatings and intimidation of those who would testify against Pellicano's clients all come to mind. What, exactly, did/does Pellicano do for a living?

[coloradan]

Bump

[LaraCroft]

BS. I hug, cuddle and kiss my nieces, nephews and my friends childrens too. And its not just because I'm femaile, so does my father.

It's called love, not molestation.

This is exactly like the liberal witch hunt against spanking.

OMG, just OMG!

"When I slept with my babies, from birth to teen I would give them backrubs and kisses. There is nothing close to molestation in that, and so far that is all I've heard Jackson accused of."

While I agree with your analysis, I think it's worthwhile to note that the intimacy you describe above is generally consisdered to be reserved for Mom and no one else. While it is not criminal, necessarily, for someone else to do it, it sure is suspicious.

[Rebelbase]

Wow. You have got to naiive to think of Jackson the way to do. Or else you have a mental illness to think its ok for grown men to sleep in the same bed with young boys.

Again:

The argument for a relatives sharing a bed is valid, but a non-family member adult man sharing a bed with your child? You would have to be crazy or a pervert to think that was ok.

[Jrabbit]

Perhaps you should read the deposition from the boy in the 1st incident. He wasn't describing hugs, cuddles and kisses.

[happygrl]

This is exactly like the liberal witch hunt against spanking.

That mught fly in the case of a man who has normal relations with females, but in this case, Jackson does not.

It is a substitute for normal sexual behviors.

Would you send your children to sleep-overs at his house and allow them to sleep in the bed with him ?

[ordinaryguy]

Please read the declaration from the boy in the case from ten years ago.

[Hildy]

I agree with you that he's stuck in his childhood. I hope he finally gets the help he so desperately needs as a result of this.

[cajungirl]

You father hugs and cuddles your friends children?? Hon, you should be losing friends soon. If any friend of mine had a father who hugged and kissed and cuddled my children, well, I would at least end the friendship. Kissing and hugging your own seems fine to me. But grown men don't hug and cuddle and kiss other people's children unless they are either pedophiles or stupid. And I taught my children not to let grownups do such things. Why set up your kids for the poor boundaries that allow pedophiles to take advantage.

[cajungirl]

The man is a rich successful entertainer. He is a pedophile. He is untreatable and incapable of being given "help". This man has had 20 years to get help. He wants to amuse and gratify himself and uses the child's world and interest to do so. To see him as a poor pitiful child in "need of help" is to enable him. I think what people cannot get their brain around, is that he is not like normal people. But he knows right from wrong, he hides his actions, he covers them with an elaborate persona. He is criminally responsible. He is dangerous. He maims and wounds children. Why in God's name would you want this man to get anything more benign than life in prison is beyond me.

[cajungirl]

Liberal witch hunt against spanking? My Lord, alot of conservatives don't spank. And spanking anyone's child other than your own is rightfully called assault. Do you favor others spanking your children and do you perhaps spank your friends children.
