Was Jacko a Pedo?!

[Hutchybee]

We has a likkle debate going at work. Was he a pedo or not?

I think he wasnt, he was just a crazy guy with a wacky view of the rights and wrongs in life. What he thought was ok was borderline catholic priest material....

[mimseycal]

If he was it would have been because he had a totally warped upbringing and a very naive view of the world. Certainly not of the Paul Gatz ilk. Which does not in anyway mean that I condone his actions even if they were nothing more then glorified sleep-overs ...

[Earl]

Of course he was. He bought the silence of his accusers.

He was pretty messed up. You try having Joe Jackson as a father! That guy keeps promoting his record company!

[kham]

yes he was a paedo.. and one with a penchant for boys..

[Hutchybee]

Am I the only one that thinks Joe Jackson sounds just like Wanda Sykes!

I don't think he was

He was an oddball but I am sure he would have been a lot different if he wasn't in the spotlight

Pretty sure he was a sensitive guy and the media got to him, probably just not strong enough to cope with all the attention he got, and i think people took advantage of him

hmm from what i gather,most anyone doesn't sleep with thirteen year old boys unless they have an ulterior motive.

True enough but that is assuming that most anyone have something resembling a normal life. No one can claim that Michael had anything even remotely resembling one of those ....
