Mj is literally a pedophile????
Ok ur either trolling or believe this in good faith. I also know a lot of people here choose to believe victims' stories first hand, which is a virtuous trait to have, but it's also very important to do your research. I'll trust that u wouldn't put nonsense in my inbox for no reason so please read this, because I wholeheartedly believe in his innocence.
Michael was a victim of false accusations and endless tabloid harassment because he one day finally decided to put his foot down and stop being used for his money by people he thought were his friends. It also didn't help that certain people in power were angry that the most popular, loved, rich, powerful etc. person worldwide at the moment was a black man.
He got into tension with a man that was leeching off him financially, and eventually felt so much resentment towards him that he made a fake blackmail attempt. During this he hired a lawyer who would then offer families acquainted with him (who iirc he had met before through charity work or visiting his amusement park-like property, neverland ranch) money to "tell their stories" in which many of the stories didn't line up, or the children of these families would eventually step up and say their parents lied. This video explains everything way better than I can with evidence to support everything. And, here's some inaccuracies on the netflix documentary, because this documentary and tabloids are what have been circulating the story and making people believe in all these lies. I literally saw a mutual post one of these tabloids that had 0 evidence and it was really sad to see them believe it, and admittedly at the time I didn't want to rush into their inbox out of nowhere and confront them about it because I didn't wanna seem like an asshole </3 Anyway,
FBI raided his property and investigated him for over a decade and found no evidence of anything. (More evidence supporting him in the linked thread as well) He was found not guilty on all charges. One thing of "evidence" people cite is that the victims drew his privates, but they didn't match the photography taken by the FBI during their investigation. Another is a book made by a pedophile with CSAM material in it, which he owned at one point, but never looked through (there were no fingerprints of his found at all throughout the book): it was sent to him as fan mail, and he only saw the first page or so (which on it's own was not incriminating, I believe it was just a picture of some boys playing and he added a label about childhood), signed it, and was planning to send it back, but he was too flooded with other responsibilities because of all the legal issues surrounding him at the time. All other "evidence" people usually cite are lies, or twisted stories to make him sound guilty.
As for his "strange behavior" it's been established MJ age regressed due to the intense abuse he faced as a child. His regression showed through his love for otherwise "childish" things. Psychologists studying the case have stated his difference in his love for these things vs. actual pedophiles using things like toys and such to lure children, while he has been known to instead play with the toys and collect them. He has said he loves children because they see him in an honest lens, something he barely got to experience because he spent his entire life as a celebrity. Michael took every chance he could get to give back to children because he wanted them to have happy childhoods and not suffer the same things he did, and he did this through his charity work and art. And for the heavily cited story about him sharing his bed with children, there's too many points to name but here are the most important to me: 1. Sharing a bed was commonplace for him since childhood because he grew up with 8 siblings in a tiny ass house 2. The children as fans wanted to sleep next to him, Michael felt bad about it and offered to sleep on the floor to maintain boundaries while not making the kids upset and 3. The family was literally there with him, and they were people he trusted. He would NOT have done that with a random family visiting the ranch's amusement park. I feel that he basically saw it as babysitting. Lastly, and this is more of an emotional point than evidence, but it should be noted that some of his words as he was heavily under the influence of his medication were about loving and protecting children, and wanting to build a hospital for them.
Not important to the case, just my own personal thoughts: It's sad how much has been faked and continues to be spread around. This is just a personal anecdote but I remember being in middle school and seeing the evidence of the tapped phone call plotting against him. I remember it vividly, so it's been around for a while. I normally don't go this hard over celebrities of all people but I think most understand he was so much more than that. He was generous, loving, patient, and honestly the most perfect imitator of the divine I have known about, and I genuinely feel for him. As an artist also, I extremely look up to him for his creativity and perfectionism across so many mediums. His humanitarian work and message have always touched me deeply. I'm obviously biased as a fan, but it is because he is innocent that I continue to call myself a fan. These industries are full of evil, evil people, but MJ is NOT one of them... in fact this was something he would always call out. I really just hope this changes your mind because it hurts both seeing someone as special as him be accused of something he found the most abhorrent, and anyone thinking I'd ever defend someone who did those things.
