I didn’t say Michael was guilty! Maybe YOU should pay more attention when you read stuff…🤦🏻‍♀️ (i.e “alleged” and “PEOPLE not getting a free pass,” not Michael). Xeno said there’s no excuse for hurting kids, like I thought abuse was justifiable. I meant mental illness isn’t an excuse. I didn’t mean Michael specifically hurt them, but I do think he had issues. I (hand-to-God) have a Michael Jackson tattoo. When he died I felt like I lost part of my childhood. If I could or knew how to, I would post a picture of it on here right now.

One kid confessed after his parents died that they made him lie about the accusations

“The talk of the town” 😂😂 right, so if your classmates told you there was a giant hunted hound living in the moor you’d believe them (quoted) 😂. The court files show clearly he didn’t settle anything. The judge postponed the legal trial breaking the 5th emendament because there was NO PROOF of molestation. (Strip search, house raids, boys description of intimate parts didn’t match). So Jackson waited almost a year after the allegations broke out hoping to go on trial, then paid the CIVIL cause that Evan himself had requested him and wanted since the beginning. Recorded phone calls also show Evan was using his son to extort money. Whoever thinks the contrary is simply late of 30 years with the case updates.

Because he never settled out of court. The “settlement” was a payment request filed by the father of the boy formally in court. A civil cause. Civil causes can go on for decades if no evidence of misconduct is found (which would have led to a legal trial). Example: Wade and James cases which is still on appeal after 10 years, DESPITE being rejected by the judge.

When the judge asked him about the book, Wade denied. Wade lied șo much that the judge threw out his entire testimony and said that "no rațional juror" would believe him or take him seriously.

I contradict You. Most cases of sexual assault and rape are prosecuted and the abusers go to jail șo don't ușe this b******t to make your point. In Michael Jackson's case, there was never a shred of EVIDENCE, his accusers were caught lying and perjuring themselves even under oath. And I am talking also about recent accusers too. Wade was caught lying under oath and trying to hide EVIDENCE. He was emailing his mother asking her questions about his childhood and Michael Jackson, he was researching M's paste allegations, reading tabloids about that. He also wrote a book that he tried to sell to different publicistă and when the judge asked him about that hhe

It's not b******t, it's facts. 60% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to police, according to a statistical average of the past 5 years. Those rapists, of course, never spend a day in prison. Factoring in unreported rapes, only about 6% of rapists ever serve a day in jail. If a rape is reported, there is a 50.8% chance of an arrest. If an arrest is made, there is an 80% chance of prosecution. If there is a prosecution, there is a 58% chance of conviction. If there is a felony conviction, there is a 69% chance the convict will spend time in jail. So even in the 39% of attacks that are reported to police, there is only a 16.3% chance the rapist will end up in prison. Factoring in unreported rapes, about 6% of rapists will ever spend a day in jail.
