I know that the parents in this case are very questionable themselves
and what they're after, but this is like those priest sexual abuse
cases, people tend to build those figures up, believing they're goody
goody two shoes who does nothing bad.  If the individual like the priest
and the pop star do bad to somebody, that victim is usually too
embarrassed to tell that powerful figure isn't all they publicly appear
to be.

Michael Jackson is being judged by some for the same reason people judge
persons witth disabilities when they are accused. They assume a
"difference" makes
one prone to deviant behavior. However, the fact that he himself stated
he
liked sleeping with young children does not help his case. The motives
of the
parents are questionable in this case. Why did they wait almost one year
before
bringing this too light? I just object to persons bringing race into it.
What
about Woody Allen? I can't stand Allen for what he did. As for O.J.,
I'll go
with Chris Rock who states "OJ hasn't been black since he won the
Heisman
Trophy!"
