None of us was there when it did happen, if it did happen.
Everyone should read Aphrodite Jones “conspiracy”, her book about the trail, and then put himself/herself in the place of the children’s parents before and during the trial, in the place of MJ during the trial, and in the place of the children then and ever since.
As far as I’m concerned, I do think MJ, as bizzare and special as he was sometimes, never did any harm to any child.
What would you do today if you had known MJ as a kid, and would be offered huge sums of money just by telling lies, knowing MJs image is already forever corrupted, that you don’t risk anything in terms of diffamarory affirmations, and that MJ won’t suffer because of you as he’s dead for nearly 10 years?

In the end, there’s so much magic in MJ recordings, audio and video, that I don’t really care either at that!
David Ruffin, just to mention one, wasn’t less talented because he wasn’t exactly the most friendly person ever, so why should we try and diminish MJ with his personal life?

Just a few cents....
