wasn't he sleeping in beds with children?
Yeah that's one of the "wildly inappropriate" things I mentioned that no one really denies happened.

Also like I said, I don't know how illegal even the allegations were at the time. Talking explicitly about sex and french kissing, for example, I'm pretty sure they would be illegal in any state right now. But they didn't use to be, just because the laws weren't clearly defined yet. Until the later part of the 20th century, basically if you weren't putting a penis inside another person, the law didn't address it. And then it took decades of modifying laws and setting legal precedent to get to where we are today. I don't know what the laws and precedents were at the time. So maybe the reason MJ was "exonerated" is not so much lack of evidence, as much as they couldn't prosecute him for the things he was accused of doing.

He was weird as hell and had a childhood that fucked up his adult life in a way that none of us will ever truly comprehend.

He also made some of the best music of all time

Y'all should take Michael advice and start with the man (woman/other) in the mirror. If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourselves and then make a change.

Literally sleeping with them in a bed like a child having a sleepover with his friends is not the same thing as fondling or having sex with them. Is it odd? Sure, hes not their father or relative, but I think that in his mind he was simply playing with them as if he was one of the kids because all the adults in his life were bloodsucking pieces of shit so kids were the only purity he experienced because they didnt know or care how rich or famous he was. And he never got to do that when he was a kid because his asshole father forced him to be a music slave while his brothers got to live more normal lives.

At one point, MJ owned a billion dollar music portfolio, including The Beatle's discography, and Sony was not happy about that to say the least. He was aware of the abuses of children in Hollywood and so he setup Neverland Ranch to essentially be a sanctuary for kids in that space. He was quite business savvy and ultimately had a good heart.

It should amaze me that GameFAQs has people that will in breath bemoan fake news, then also eat up shit like that Lesving Neverland documentary, and ignore the actual court hearing ,documents, and actual history of Jackson's public court cases.

But it didn't, because this is GameFAQs, and with 261 now a distant memory, there's no quarantine for people like the ones in this topic who sceam pedophile at the top of their lungs, without actually understanding the history of the Jackson case, and very fucked up reality of those thst made the allegations towards him.

On topic - He was a fantastic singer, and really was the king of pop. It's a real shame and loss he died as soon as he did.

Michael Jackson was emotionally and in some cases mentally stunted. His actions with young people are reminiscent to how other kids interact with each other when young, including the inappropriate things. The difference, of course, was he was a wealthy and famous adult, stuck with that level of emotional maturity.

That speaks to intention, in my opinion, but that obviously does not excuse actions. We may never know exactly what happened nor will we ever know if intentions were anything more than a man acting out childhood his entire life or a predator.
