Do you believe the Michael Jackson allegations?

For me it’s undeniable and the evidence is overwhelming, but I’m shocked by the amount of people who don’t.

@Hubhubba26 apologise, but I don’t understand that C & P screenshot that you tagged me means, or what you intended, can you explain perhaps please ?

It's strange that picture - if it exists - wasn't admitted as evidence. The books were but not a nude photo of a child found in Jackson's house?

Also LOL at the notion that he was asexual. Asexual people don’t grab their crotch and hump the floor whilst dancing.

My daughter is asexual. She hates sleeping in the same bed as anyone and doesn’t enjoy physical touch or hugs from her family even.

That kind of logic was used by some people to claim that no way was Britney a virgin like she said at the time because of some of the moves she did in music videos 🙄I don't really see the connection personally.

Obviously it exists unless you’re trying to say that the FBI/police pretended that they found it and the prosecution tried to get permission to admit evidence that didn’t exist.

Too tired to have a proper dig around online but after a few minutes I couldn’t find anything (unlike practically everything else we’ve discussed). I’m not saying it doesn’t exist.

People said Britney Spears wasn’t a virgin because Justin Timberlake, dickhead that he is, leaked information about their intimate relationship. Before that I think they believed the Bible family stuff.

A lot of people were uncomfortable with MJ’s crotch grabbing.

I’ll see if I can find some info on the Reddit group that has all the court documents. It’s a useful resource.

Thanks, would be really interested to see those court docs.

Well maybe that as well but I remember comments about the Stronger music vid where she's dancing on the chair and how it was so obvious she wouldn't have moves like that if she was a virgin.

The crotch grabbing has always been super weird!

My gut is not a judge and jury.

But I don't know why...but my gut feeing says that he didn't do it.

Hubhubba26 · Yesterday 23:15

@MyTrivia according to this deemed not illegal.

Do you believe the Michael Jackson allegations?
MyTrivia · Today 00:17

Yes, I know it wasn’t considered illegal but you’re scraping the barrel if you think that proves MJ wasn’t a pedophile.

There is no way that most people who aren’t actually sick would own a book like that with full frontal nudity, written by a pedophile. Just because a pedophile stays on the right side of the law with regards to material they own, that does not mean they aren’t a pedophile.

kkloo · Today 02:05

"Not illegal"
There's still only one reason why he'd have them.

I think for something to be considered 'child pornography' it needs to depict the child in a sexual act or pose, however I don't think anyone on here would be happy with anyone having nude pictures of their child and shrug it off 'oh well it's not illegal'.

There was a documentary by Louis Therox about pedophiles and he visited a man in prison and up on his wall he had a photo or picture of a boy can't remember what it was of but something along the lines of a boy dressed or in swimming shorts playing with a garden hose, it wasn't illegal but it was blindingly obvious what he was doing with the picture, I think the picture may even have ended up being confiscated from him after that.

The books weren’t illegal either, yet they were admitted as evidence.

Doesn't make sense. Is there proof of this photo? I do often wonder if there's a lot of urban myths posted as facts sometimes because I don't find anything when I look into various things.

Yes! Absolutely 💯

No proof from what I’ve seen. A quick google suggests it doesn’t exist and if it did then it’s likely it would come up on the first page of results.

It’s not about legality. It’s about asking yourself why a man in his 40s, who has been accused of molesting multiple children would have material like that if he wasn’t a pedophile.

@MyTrivia What's the name of the book? How many books did MJ have in his house? Were there fingerprints on the supposedly incriminating pages of the book?

Well, we don’t even know if these photos even existed. You said you were going to find the court documents that verify the photos?

Hubhubba26 · Today 13:43

Thank you, I had never seen this before but to me it completely makes sense and sums up the situations that were going on during the allegation years and beyond

I cannot imagine how sad it must have felt to be so painfully misunderstood, and if I were MJ, I’d be praying that the people who didn’t at the time would one day see the bigger picture and finally understand everything 💔

everyoldsock · Today 14:52

I’ll have to watch that video at some point, currently on a long train journey and don’t have my AirPods with me.

This thread is about to fill up and it would be good to carry on the discussion in a new thread if anyone wants to start one? Unless people feel the discussion has been exhausted.

Matt Fiddes official on Instagram is worth following too. He was his bodyguard during the later years. Nothing but great things to say about Michael.
