    Ok have see so many people slate Michael Jackson as being a pedo,,, many because the name has stuck.
    I personally don't think he was after seeing statement from people like the lad who played McAuley in Home Alone who slept in his bed many a time with no sign of inappropriate contact.

    Dont vote pedo if you cant come up with concrete evidence he was, :50:

    voted for no as well

    If he was guilty, the families of the boys would have rejected the money. Well, if it was my boy being abused I´d have done everything to get the beast into jail.

    :56: That'd be a definite yes, no question. :icon_mrgreen:

    Not sure, so I won't vote. I think it's naive to just say innocent until proven guilty, since no verdict was sounded out on the first case... but there's been info since his death. I just don't know.

    I voted yes.

    I think there is no smoke without fire i wouldn't let him mind my kids, would the people voting no honestly let him watch theirs?

    Folk will argue about this forever but in my opinion if he had nothing to hide he would never had paid the Chandler family £22million, because by the time he paid it his reputation was shot anyway.

    I don't really understand the thread. if we vote yes, we have to have concrete evidence? well then I'm flying to USA, reading through all police reports, asking witnesses, possible victims etc.

    I don't know if he was a paedo (since I don't have any evidence yet), but I think he was one. he was a weird * up guy and slept with kids in the same bed.

    During his court case I signed up to receive e-mails with daily updates. It provided a lot of evidence at the time that made me think that he was innocent and then the verdict of the case was not guilty. I think he had a lot of mental health issues and while I doubt he slept with children, I wouldn't be shocked if his behaviour around them wasn't what you'd call 'normal * behaviour'. What I mean by that, is that in his mind, he would have thought it to be ok to hug them at will and be their friends. MJ adored kids as he loved the innocence that childhood seemed to give. He was made to work very hard his entire life. He was pushed and pushed by his father to perfect his talent so he didn't get a childhood. Being friends with kids gave him a chance to have a childhood in his own imagination. So, I'm not sure. It's a sorry story that his personal life and mental health didn't seem to be normal because the guy was a musical genius.

    Any mother or father wouldnt accept money and let the guy who abused their child away it and also give him the chance to do it to another child so that kinda makes me think No but on the other hand, why did he pay the money? Maybe it was to save his reputation being damaged anymore than it was but like someone has said, his reputation was damaged anyway.

    I think no but im going to vote unsure cause no one knows, only the child and MJ.

    Even though I dont think he had * with children, I voted yes. I think his actions toward children were inappropriate and I believe he probably crossed boundaries, what boundaries they are I dont know, but what I do know is that a peodophile is someone who has an unhealthy attitude/fascination toward children, who behaves in a manner that is not acceptable, i.e cuddles, sleepovers, lavishing them with gifts, allowing children to see you in a state of undress, allowing them to look at pornographic material in your presence. not all peopdophiles have * with children.

    I dont however think that Michael wanted to be or tried to be a bad person, he had a * childhood, and was a tortured soul, and whilst we can see then why he chose to live in a different word and reality from the rest of us, it does not excuse this behaviour

    My mum has an unhealthy obsession with children, they are her life and not just her own children either. There's a difference between revelling in a childs smile and being a paedophile, it's a crying shame in society today you can't have one without the other.

    I do agree with you... there was a survey taken here where over half of male teachers in the US avoid one-on-one situations with students for fear of misconduct allegations whereas the number was below 10% for women.

    However, it is pretty clear Michael Jackson was a disturbed and mentally unwell individual. I think his "unhealthy obsession" with children genuinely was an "unhealthy obsession" and not just by today's standards. Yes, it all has to do with his childhood, but it existed nonetheless.

    I voted no as you said "dont vote yes unless you have concrete evidence"
    I'm not being funny mate but if half of the American police force not to mention every family that accused him could not find "concrete evidence" then how the * are we meant to?:97:
    Personally i am unsure but i do know that he had a hard time as a child and was FORCED to perform by his dad which in turn stole a large part of his childhood from him, i mean kids have got be given the freedom to be a kid otherwise it will probably cause the victim problems in later life or adulthood if you will.
    Was he a beast? I dont know and we will maybe never know now but one things for sure he wasnt called wacko for nothing! I didnt mean to infer that he was dodgy with weans (before anyone jumps down my throat) just that he was a bit ....well wacky.
    Who knows and to be honest who really gives a * apart from the families he alledgedly had issues with if they were true.

    Unsure for me. True it was never proven & i don't think he did it anyway but i'm still in the middle.
