Although it was pretty evident (if you're an actual MJ fan) that he didn't molest any children, I see an overwhelming population of people who still trash talk Michael Jackson anytime you mention him.

So, even though he was found NOT GUILTY for his child molestation charges, and both accusing children eventually said that their parents told them to do it...

Do you think this man was a pedophile?

I obviously don't, and find people who think he was are ignorant and usually arrogant.

I never thought he molested any kids but he still freaks me out.

[demoniclemon]

I don't see any reason why.

[Billy Maize]

No, there's no evidence to support the claim at all.

No I do not believe he was a pedophile/molester. There isn't much to debate here since there is no evidence proving that he did. Especially when he died the person that press charges against him said that he lied so his family would get money.

I know you can't either prove or disprove that he 100% actually did or not 'molest children', but I just want to see people's thoughts on Michael Jackson.

It's a debate either way.

[Crimptor]

The parents of the children who were supposedly molested were greedy and did it for the money.

[Crash15]

if he was, there would be proof if he did it or not. Therefore, he is not a pedophile/child molester

[Charybdis]

The last thing he'd want is to harm a child. If anything, he'd want to give kids the childhood he never had

I'm glad to see the consensus here is much better than what I've been hearing/seeing :D

for a random example.. look at these comments :c

I'm a huge fan of Michael Jackson, and I don't believe he ever was. As was said, he had no childhood and only wanted the best for children and the world (Hence his song called "Childhood" and a bunch of other songs of course). He was never found guilty, and rightfully so.

[Jookia]

I pretty much think that he wanted to be a child. I don't think he molested anybody.

[Fire Kracker]

no he wasnt

[J Paul]

I say this completely without jest and in all seriousness. I don't believe he was a pedophile, but even if he was, I think this guy could get a pass on that. I mean if there's any adult male in the history of civilization who could have a socially acceptable and believable consensual relationship with a minor, it'd be that dude, because his fucked up life made him that way.

Not that I believe he did anything bad, I'm just saying if any dude should be allowed to share his bed with kids, his description is the one I come up with.

For me it reminds me of the people on hoarders. He kept all the youthful things and people around him, he surrounded himself with youth and coveted it, because he wanted to hold on to a period in his life he felt like he had lost. That's what I get from it anyway. Same shit from every episode of hoarders; Someone has some great loss, and they can't stop holding onto shit later in life because they never get over it. Except Michael Jackson had child sleepovers, rides, a zoo, a treehouse, and toys and shit.

Have you even played Moon Walker?

I don't think he was a pedophile but I do think he had some type of fascination/obsession with children. You could say he was a borderline pedophile I guess.
