I also think Paris is the most likely to come forward and describe her life, either in an interview or in a book. Prince has said she's the "emotional" one, more prone to say or do things spontaneously without thinking. I also think she's smart. She knows this isn't the end of it. There will be others. She probably even knows their names. It might even be someone closer. Prince was the closest to his father. He's been taught how to handle publicity by ignoring it. I doubt he'd go there. But she might.

If Paris publicly backs the Wade and James, R15, then she'll be taking her life in her hands. The MJ stans will go berserk if his own daughter turns against him.

In the Bashir doc he is truly frightening. He has the veil over Blanket’s face and is rocking him manically while stating that almost tossing him over a balcony was a perfectly rational act.

The guy was a oedophile but also fucking insane.

by Anonymousreply 53March 15, 2019 2:57 AM

R53 We already addressed the Bashir doc. But here it is again:

Yes, but it is generally acknowledged that Bashir purposefully staged and omitted many details from his film to create an imbalanced and biased representation of Jackson. For example, when Michael Jackson stated that he shared his bed with the boy in the film, Bashir removed the section where the boy added that Jackson slept on the floor.

We know all of this only because Jackson had instructed his own videographer to record every interview without cutting (alongside Bashir's camera crew.) As a result, you can see what Bashir omitted and you also see the interactions between interviews. I highly recommend doing so. Bashir's journalistic practices in that documentary still affect his reputation today.

If you are truly interested in that interview, I would suggest watching: Take Two: The Footage You Were Never Meant to See (also referred to as "the rebuttal video"), which was seen on Fox in the United States. This was presented by Maury Povich and contains even more material which Bashir omitted (it is numerous.)

by Anonymousreply 54March 15, 2019 3:00 AM

I would not be surprised by multiple generations of incest, physical and emotional abuse in the Jackson clan. That, in addition to the $, is why the code of silence is so strong. For all who asked why were the victims all white, it is likely that they were not. There are videos of him and the nephews that are creepy and one special friend was a cousin. So fucking sad. Hope none of his nephew victims will be pressured by the family to defend him. They were not protected nor do I believe that they were gotten help.

R55, well we know that the father molested his daughters and possibly his sons. Plus, physical abuse. So, it is at least second generation.

Many children Michael Jackson befriended, including those who looked like James and Wade, have never made any allegations of abuse.

Rather they continue to defend Michael Jackson as someone with whom they had an odd relationship, but in no way illicit. These allegations differ right up to that point, and the accusers are a joke.

You can analyze the situation all day long, but it only supports the conclusion that he did not behave in any way as a pedophile would.

R110 Yes, i saw the video and thought Sean's words about his time at Neverland were very nice. He spoke of the joy of not wanting to leave. Of course, he also understood that childhood is fleeting and he would grow up and be gone. A strange, but interesting music video. Also, I am glad that he denied anything untoward occurred in his relationship with Jackson, to prevent people like you from turning him into a false victim.

So...Michael was gay?

I know it's distasteful to mention it since the party involved were young boys.

by Anonymousreply 113March 15, 2019 4:53 AM

And when Sean talked about Jackson throwing boys away when they aged out of his age range, he was reminiscing fondly, right?

Anyways, if I was 30 something and a 10 year old (thanks, R108) was trying to show me pornography, my reaction would not be to...say “ew” or act disgusted. It would be to 1) shut it off, 2) question how and why they had access to pornography at my house, and maybe even 3) seek help for the child, who is clearly acting out sexually. Or, indeed, 4) call the cops because someone is clearly messing with the kid!! It wouldn’t be “tee hee! That’s gross!”

Sean Lennon will likely never come forward if he was molested, since it would expose his mother, like Wade and James’ mothers, to scrutiny of her motives, and Yoko Ono has even fewer excuses for abdicating her parental responsibilities than they did. Sean protects his mom because she’s all he’s got.

He didn't seem to have an interest in adult men. I don't know what the thought process was. Although, I am curious about who he had full on sex with. It seems like with James and Wade (after a brief attempt) it didn't go there. It had to be with someone, especially given what Wade said and he was older when Michael tried. I thought Frank Cascio was one possibility because he said he lived with Michael for a while and was helping him take care of the kids. It was just a very odd situation with him and he was kept around on/off until 24.

R114 Again, you can not manufacture a victim.

R117 Michael Jackson never had sex with James or Wade. They manufactured these allegations after a number of years being ardent Jackson supporters and using his name for financial gain even after he died. Somewhere in part 7 another person explained that it does not pass the smell test. Substitute 40 for 32.

R118, I’m not claiming that he raped Sean Lennon or Mark Ronson, but his actions regarding the pornography were clearly inappropriate. He was not acting in accordance with normal adult behavior. His refusal or inability to provide boundaries and act responsibly in this situation is disturbing.

Lennon’s descriptions of his time with Jackson are much more ambivalent and fraught than you are making them sound. He has pretty clearly described an emotionally damaging dynamic between Jackson and his boy ‘friends’, rather than sunshine and lollipops.

R124 Many of Jackson's behaviors may seem "inappropriate," which makes it even more telling the children involved in some of them deny any illegal behavior.

As far as Sean Lennon, I read the statement and that was my takeaway. He denies any illegal behavior by Jackson, and his story mimics Robson's, except for the addition of abuse for financial motive.

R126 Merely speculating about a thing does not make your interpretation true. The same holds with these allegations.

Yeah Drake removed the MJ song from his set. It was announced in the past few days. John Legend also supports Wade and James saying there isn't any reason for them to lie about being sexually abused.

Prince fans are angry that MJ fans tried to bring Prince into it bc his ex wife Mayte supports Wade. Supposedly, Prince never liked Jackson and that's why he refused collaborating with him. His fans feel his hooking up with Mayte when she was 17 is different from MJ sexually abusing 7 to 14 year olds.

R9 - MANY of us think that MJ is a weirdo pedo. We are not stupid. I was born in 1980 and always knew as a kid that he was a freak. Frankly, he was the freakiest global phenomenon that I can remember as a kid. I never loved his music (it was OK at best), but in particular I did not care for him as an artist or a celebrity. Many others share my beliefs. Anecdotally, I would say that his greatest sympathisers were those who experienced him as Jackson 5 and then his early disco career. He seemed so sweat and helpless then. He turned into a monster a decade later.

R145 here. I am back again, and look forward to discussing these allegations with you all. As I have previously stated, the credibility of these individuals is nonexistent. Their past behavior, testimony, and timeline are not representative of abuse victims, but opportunists whose financial motivations for making these claims are apparent to most people.

These two men, in their late 30s and early 40s, have manufactured a rehearsed and calculated story of abuse after nearly two decades of staunch support for Jackson. They both testified under oath as children, and one again as a 23 year old adult man, that no abuse ever happened. Their testimony tells of generosity and peculiarity, as many other of Jackson's "young friends" have stated. The only diversion from their previous testimony now is these fictitious claims, compiled from tabloid books and a twisted imagination.

Robson sought permission to hold his wedding at Neverland -– in the middle of Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial, for which he was acquitted of all charges. Does this sound like the behavior of a sexual abuse survivor? How about using the name of your alleged abuser to secure a job production in "Michael Jackson's ONE," twice? Once denied for that role after abandoning the team the first time, the same accuser in 2012 begin sending emails to himself and his mother, with leading statements like "how long was I with Michael alone before I was back with you guys?" Another email contains debunked tablod claims from a former maid and security guard, both of whom were fired for wrongdoing and ordered to pay in court for their lies. "Wow. None of that is true" replied Wade's mother, before he presumably stopped her from further destroying his case.

After 8 years of perfecting a story and shopping multiple book proposals, a lawsuit (intentionally under seal) was filed well after the known statute of limitations--all in an attempt to obtain a secret settlement from the Jackson estate. When they declined, In 2015, Robson's case was dismissed by a Los Angeles judge for expected statutory violations. His repeated attempts since then to profit from this alleged abuse are well documented since then. "Finding Neverland" might as well be titled "Finding Money,."

The Jackson's response sums it up best: this is yet another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson…Wade Robson and James Safechuck have both testified under oath that Michael never did anything inappropriate toward them. This so called ‘documentary’ is just another rehash of dated and discredited allegations. It’s baffling why any credible filmmaker would involve himself with this project.”

R184, from what I remember the general public accepted Savile's guilt fairly quickly. Initially, there were comments along the lines of "Why did these women wait until he died to come forward?" but that didn't last very long. There were so many different victims with similar stories, and several celebrities confirmed that rumours had been floating around for decades. It became apparent that Savile's behaviour had always been an open secret in the entertainment industry. One of his nephews defended him at first, but backtracked shortly after. It didn't take long for his family to accept the truth: they actually requested the removal of his gravestone less than two weeks after the documentary aired.

Of course, Savile didn't have a fanbase on anything close to the scale of Michael Jackson's. He was just an eccentric children's TV presenter from the 70s. People were much less resistant to hearing the truth.

Paris Jackson has reasonably stated that it is "not [her] role" to defend these allegations. This makes sense, as the issue should be litigated in court, where the Jackson estate's defamation claims against HBO and the accusers will have considerably more success than their dismissed lawsuit.

"taj is doing a perfect job on his own. and i support him. but that’s not my role."

In that moment, Safechuck suddenly remembered that he had been abused by Jackson as well, so decided to join the lawsuit.

Those who are calling you irrational are the same ones who are willing to excuse any past behavior by Robson because he said he was abused. Nevermind that he's been proven as a liar and manipulator going back years, and cheated on Brandi Jackson who he had a relationship with for over 7 years. Any rational person would think that Wade was a scumbag, but to those who hate Jackson, it's because MJ taught him how to lie. These are the same people who attack Paris Jackson, Macualay Cullkin, Brett Barnes, Aaron Carter, on social media and then act self righteous when we question the credibility of the accusers.

For the people saying Michael was sexually abused himself as a boy by "producers," maybe you should take a closer look at Rob Cohen — the now big-time movie director who first started producing for Michael at Motown.

This year, Rob Cohen's transgender daughter accused Cohen of sexual abuse as a child and teenager, which the mother has confirmed. So maybe Cohen subjected Michael to abuse or other pedophiles? But then again, I think Michael was a teenager when he met Cohen ...

R231 Safechuck (comically) asks viewers to accept that it was not until he was 35 (in 2014) that he recognized that being sexually abused “hundreds” of times over a four year period, beginning when he was four-years-old, was actually abuse. Of course, he failed to mention serious financial issues and involvement in an inheritance battle in which he was being sued by surviving siblings may have influenced this epiphany.

"Coincidentally," he filed suit with the same lawyer who handled Robson's already dismissed case. This time they takes a different strategy, claiming MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures were both “child sexual abuse operations." Both lawsuits are dismissed, on the grounds that neither company could affect Jackson’s behavior in addition to statutory violations (well after the 10 year, 18th birthday rule intended to protect against false claims.) R232 - Justice did prevail, yet again.

Of course, an entire book could be written the emails, testimony, employment and financial history that contradict Robson's abuse claims--but he has already been discredited widely. I am prepared to discuss Safechuck also, especially since he is the next go-to victim after thoroughly debunking his coplaintiff.

My statement was sourced from the link below and shows that at least one version of Safechuck's claim is that he only realized he was abused after seeing Robson's lawsuit, and entering therapy (likely to provide an excuse for his damning sworn testimony and denials of any inappropriate behavior.) However, It is understandable that you may have heard many different stories of why he came forward.

From the article below: --- "California law gives people with claims just a year after a death to bring them to probate court, but Safechuck says it wasn’t until he learned Wade Robson, another man making similar allegations, had filed a lawsuit that he decided to get psychiatric help."

“I have finally come to know and appreciate now, after a little over a year of intensive therapy and psychiatric treatment, that this relationship was a predatory and wholly improper one, and one whereby the decedent (Jackson) used my trust and love of him as a means to victimize and sexually molest me,” Safechuck states.

R247 A typical profile of an abuser would indicate escalation of abuse. Chandler never made claims of anal penetration, etc. which means the level of abuse would have been working in reverse and declining if we are to follow LN timeline. That alone should suggest they are lying about the abuse if you believe Chandler's accusations.

Chandler's father Evan was more than $60,000 behind child support payments and had already approached Jackson several times asking for money. Chandler was recorded saying, "If I go through with this, I win big time. There’s no way that I lose. I’ve checked that out inside out...I will get everything I want, and they will be totally — they will be destroyed forever. They will be destroyed. June is gonna lose Jordy. She will have no right to ever see him again." This phone call took place on July 8; Evan would claim Jordan had confessed the abuse to him on July 16 while under the influence of sodium amytal during a dental procedure. Evan Chandler was sued by Jordan after he nearly killed him with a barbell and mace in August 2005. Jordan obtained a permanent restraining order against his father as a result. Evan would later commit suicide 4 years later.

Although some claim the settlement is evidence of guilt (it did not prevent anyone from pursuing criminal action), others believe Jackson understandably wanted to avoid a prolonged and emotionally grueling civil trial. None of us know which side is right. Those who claim to know the truth, as you seem, are merely stating their own feelings about the case.

They moved priests around to different dioceses and were complicit in keeping the victims silent.

The MJ accusers supported Jackson for many years, well into his death, and sought financial and work experience from his family and estate. There is no factual evidence of their abuse (unlike the multitude of records harbored by the Catholic Church).

For example, there is almost no evidence to support the MJ accuser's claims except for their own testimony, which they now say was previously full of lies.

>>>>>>>>>>Research tells us that CSA victims do all of what you mentioned, but there is no research as it pertains to wealthy pop stars. I am not saying that coming forward as an adult to say you were molested in not normal. I am pointing out that at least one of the two, as an adult, reaffirmed under oath that there was no abuse, and this has serious implications on his credibility and that of his coplantiff.

pretending that all abusers always escalate and abuse all their victims similarly, you just further demonstrate your idiocy.

>>>>>>>>>>>It's just common sense that if a pedophile is abusing children, he will escalate that abuse, especially if we are to believe the documentary's suggestion that Jackson was a serial pedophile with unlimited access to children. I am simply calling out the obvious, that if you believe Chandler was abused, then look at his claims. See R252.

The vast majority of Jimmy Salvile's accusers didn't come forward until after he was dead, most were revealing abuse that had happened decades prior, and the abuse his victims experiences ranged wildly from single instance gropings to full on violent sexual assault. To apply the pathetic ignorance you've demonstrated here, they must all be lying.

>>>>>>>>I am glad you use Jimmy Salvile as an example. Many people of all ages and stories came forward to make allegations against him, much like you would expect with Jackson, right? No. Instead, the people accusing Jackson have testified to no abuse, behaved unlike any reasonable abuse victims would, and tried to profit substantially from their relationship with him, and later allegations against him.

"Instead, the people accusing Jackson have testified to no abuse, behaved unlike any reasonable abuse victims would, and tried to profit substantially from their relationship with him, and later allegations against him."

None of that describes James Safechuck.

You keep lying, you keep failing.

by Anonymousreply 263March 15, 2019 11:00 PM

R260 R263 Unlike Wade Robson, Safechuck better calculated his abuse claims because he is not as blatant an opportunist as his coplantiff. However, this does not mean his carefully crafted claims are credible. Despite testifying under oath that no abuse occurred as a child, he reversed course the same time as financial problems became apparent.

He wants the public to believe that it was not until he was 35 (around 2014) that he recognized being molested “hundreds” of times over a four year period, beginning when he was four-years-old, was actually "abuse" at all. Further, it took seeing Robson's lawsuit to convince him to get therapy and come to this realization.

So he enters therapy for the purpose of "realizing" that (again these many hundreds of) molestations by Jackson were abuse. It was not until this therapist helped him understand this (of course)--that he just happened to come into contact with Robson's attorney--who helped him launch a lawsuit against the production company using a different strategy, which was also dismissed. Not only is his story unbelievable, but ridiculous.

by Anonymousreply 264March 15, 2019 11:15 PM

R263 Again, I find it interesting that you abandon Robson and switch to Safechuck whenever credibility becomes a problem. Does this mean you acknowledge that major credibility issues exist with him especially? They are both in the same TV program, and litigants in the same dismissed lawsuit, so you cannot ignore the association between them. I do not think it is unreasonable to associate their credibility for these reasons.

They are coplantiffs in a lawsuit, main participants in the documentary and Oprah interview, and Safechuck was inspired by Robson to come forward. They are intricately linked. If it seems like discussing one leads to a conversation about other, this is hardly an example of "collapsing" the other.

Jennifer Fox on coming to terms with her abuse in adulthood:

After 30 years directing documentaries, Jennifer Fox was a specialist in the truth. Yet, she had been lying to herself since her 40-year-old track coach took her virginity when she was 13. An older, powerful adult man and a pubescent girl is textbook child abuse, but for much of Fox’s life, she explains, she waved off their evenings together as “my first relationship”.

The teenage Jennifer swore that Coach Bill (a pseudonym, as he is still alive) thought she was his secret love. He had flattered the lonely kid into considering herself his grownup equal. The word “victim” never crossed her mind. Instead, she was so confident their connection was special – unique, even – that she wrote a school essay about Bill and his accomplice, Mrs G, the horse-riding instructor who introduced them, rhapsodising about the pair as: “two very special people who I’ve come to love dearly ... I’m lucky enough to be able to share in their love.” Her teacher handed the paper back with the note: “Since you’re so well adjusted, it can’t be true.” ...

Fox began to cross-examine her own history while conducting interviews for her 2006 film Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman. Other women’s tragedies sounded uncomfortably close to her young “romance”. “It just blew my mind that I was hearing stories that sounded just like my precious story that I had guarded as my identity, except they were calling it abuse,” says Fox. “It was not that I suddenly remembered more, because I always remembered everything. It was like a light went on on a part of the room that I had kept slightly dim.”

Anyway enough of the Jackson fool, How do we feel about Jackson outside of his serial monogamous relationships ( can't believe I'm typing that for a grown man and a child ! ) , do you think it was just the ones we know of , or would he have had one night stands? I suppose he was cunning enough to go through the grooming and realized it was necessary for his aim, the long game rather than riskier opportunities. He clearly had a much greater interest in sex than he presented in his image, but then that was part of the grooming too, and we all fell for it, for a while.

Matt Sandusky initially defended his adoptive father, then turned on him after he heard another victim's testimony:

Matt Sandusky was 33 years old then – 25 years after the abuse began.

He’d stood with the Sandusky family at first in defense of Jerry Sandusky.

But on the first day of testimony, a man identified only as Victim 4 – someone Matt Sandusky knew personally – testified for hours about the abuse he’d endured from the football coach.

That’s when Matt Sandusky broke his silence, telling authorities.

He also opened up to a therapist three times a week and continues therapy four years later, though less frequently.

Matt Sandusky was prepared to testify as a rebuttal witness against Jerry Sandusky, but that wasn’t necessary: the defendant decided not to testify. Some believe Jerry Sandusky passed on the witness stand because of Matt’s own willingness to testify.

Contrary to certain liars, who are now lying about their lies, James never said anywhere that it was Wade's lawsuit that made him realize the abuse. He also never claimed to have forgotten anything. What he said was Wade's story made him realize he needed to get help and that all the things he thought were "wrong" about himself was probably connected to the abuse. From Safechuck's complaint:

73. In 2005, DECEDENT contacted Plaintiff, and asked him to testify on his behalf in the criminal trial against DECEDENT in Santa Barbara for criminal sexual abuse. Plaintiff was approximately 27 years old at the time. DECEDENT started out the telephone call by saying that he wanted to help Plaintiff with his music and directing. He then asked Plaintiff to testify at trial on his behalf. When Plaintiff said no to the request, DECEDENT got angry and threatened him. Plaintiff told DECEDENT never to call him again, and that he wanted a normal life. DECEDENT got very angry and continued to threaten Plaintiff, telling him that he had the best lawyers in the world and that they would get Plaintiff for perjury from the 1993 Chandler investigation. Plaintiff had never experienced DECEDENT being so angry. Plaintiff was also panicked about DECEDENT talking to his mother—fearful that she would find out about his abuse by DECEDENT and be threatened by DECEDENT’s lawyers.

74. A few days after this telephone conversation, DECEDENT called Plaintiffs mother to try to get her to convince Plaintiff to testify on his behalf at the criminal trial. DECEDENT also wanted both of Plaintiffs parents to testify on his behalf. One to two days prior to DECEDENT’s call to his mother, Plaintiff had told his mother about the call he had received from DECEDENT and that he had declined to testify at the criminal trial. Plaintiff talked to her about the call and told his mother that DECEDENT was a “bad man,” but was unable to tell her any details or say anything but the very briefest statement that he had been abused. Plaintiff told his mother not to let DECEDENT know that she had found out. Plaintiff was panicked that DECEDENT would find out that he had told his mother. When DECEDENT called Plaintiffs mother, she pretended that she was not aware of DECEDENT’s earlier threatening call to her son, or about the abuse.

75. DECEDENT’s lawyers, together with Evvy Tavasci, DECEDENT’s executive personal secretary and an employee of MJJ PRODUCTIONS, contacted Plaintiff and told him that he needed to testify and deny anything that the cooks at Neverland said that they saw happen between Plaintiff and DECEDENT. Plaintiff told them that he did not want any further involvement with DECEDENT.

76. After the call with DECEDENT’s lawyers and Ms. Tavasci, DECEDENT called Plaintiff again. This call was towards the end of the criminal trial. DECEDENT told Plaintiff that that he “was sorry for not being there for [the Plaintiff].” The words that DECEDENT used and the tone of his voice appeared to Plaintiff to be rehearsed, as if the call were being tape recorded. Plaintiff feared that this was a possibility, as he knew from the past that DECEDENT often taped telephone calls on a regular basis. Plaintiff wanted to get off the telephone call as quickly as possible, as the very sound of DECEDENT’s voice made him very uncomfortable and put him into a panic mode. DECEDENT continued to pressure Plaintiff to testify and told him that Gavin Arviso (the victim in the criminal prosecution) was just trying to get money. Plaintiff told DECEDENT not to call or try to talk to him ever again, and then ended the call. 77. On June 25, 2009, DECEDENT died.

78. Upon learning of his death, Plaintiff felt sad because he realized he would never have the opportunity for a normal relationship with DECEDENT, and that his experiences with DECEDENT would never be resolved.

79. After the birth of his son, in late 2010, Plaintiff began to worry that he himself would have pedophilic urges. Plaintiff started to see how innocent children really were. Plaintiff had married a woman he worked with in 2007. He had never told her about his sexual abuse. During his wife’s pregnancy, Plaintiff had sought help from Dr. [REDACTED], a general practitioner, who prescribed Xanax to help with his anxiety. Plaintiff did not discuss the abuse with Dr. [REDACTED], nor did he equate his anxiety with the abuse. Plaintiff had coped with the abuse for many years by compartmentalizing what had happened during his relationship with DECEDENT.

80. Shortly after May 1, 2013, Plaintiff saw on the news that Wade Robson (“Wade”), who he had met in 1993, had filed a lawsuit against DECEDENT for claims of childhood sexual abuse. After learning that Wade had made public the sexual abuse that he had suffered at the hands of DECEDENT, Plaintiffs feelings of panic and anxiety heightened, and he thought that he might need help. By this time, Plaintiff now also had a newborn baby daughter, and his fears increased about his own children and what could happen to them.

81. Plaintiff never thought the feelings of panic and anxiety he had been suffering were the result of the sexual abuse by DECEDENT. Rather, he thought they were just a part of who he was. He had spent his entire life holding on to DECEDENT’s words that talking about what happened between them “would wreck [their] lives.”

82. Plaintiff first met with a psychiatrist, Dr. [REDACTED], on May 20,2013. He was finally able to discuss the abuse during his treatment. Plaintiff has been diagnosed with [REDACTED]. He is going to therapy one a week. Plaintiff tries to appear that he has “it together”, but struggles on a daily basis with his panic, depression and anxiety. He did not realize how “sick” it was that DECEDENT did the things he did to him as a child until he began therapy. Until he had his own children and realized how innocent they were and what “blank slates” they were, he did not appreciate that when you are made to think as a child that something was “your idea” it did not seem as bad as it actually was, as in the case of his abuse by DECEDENT.

R286 Matt Sandusky was abused repeatedly by his adoptive parent, who is still alive. This is hardly the case with Leaving Neverland, where the men accuse a dead pop star. Yes, Sandusky may have lied also to protect his abuser, but that is about the only similarity they share.

As I have mentioned before, if Michael Jackson was the cunning pedophile alleged in Leaving Neverland, and had access to hundreds of children. Where are the rest of the victims? There are over a dozen people who were credible enough to testify against Sandusky. Michael Jackson's accusers come out alone, coincidentally with a history of numerous financial problems.

Also, Sandusky's victims do not have a history of constantly seeking money, employment, and status using his name and reputation even well after his death. T

An absolutely ESSENTIAL read: Former FBI agent Ken Lanning, a top authority on child sexual abuse and author of 'Child Molesters: A Behavioural Analysis', talks about the traits of the MALE PREFERENTIAL child molester Ken Lanning states there are two types of child molesters: situational child molesters -- someone who is not exclusively attracted to children but rather uses them if they're available, and the preferential child molester -- someone who exclusively fantasizes about children and prefers them sexually over any other kind of partner.

Excerpt from an interview with Ken Lanning in the book 'Be Careful Who You Love':

TRAITS OF A MALE PREFERENTIAL CHILD MOLESTER:

Seduction of first the parent or parents: "Most people are just simply not suspicious enough and cynical enough and sceptical enough. Frequently the parent is a troubled parent struggling to survive in the world. You don't have a husband; your kids are latchkey kids. Who's going to watch them? You're struggling to survive, and along comes an individual who is willing to emotionally and financially and psychologically support you, provide you with help and assistance, be a father figure to your child. So, along comes somebody like this. Not only are most parents not suspicious, but they're thinking they died and went to heaven! Because of the compulsive sexual interest in children, [pedophiles] engage in high-risk kinds of sexual activity with children, frequently beginning to seduce a child right in front of the mother or father."

Well-developed techniques for gaining access to children: "Their homes are frequently described as 'shrines to children' or 'miniature Disneylands,'" Lanning said. "They have a lot of things in their house to attract children. There may be Nintendo games, computer games, toys for kids; actually, when you're in their homes you get more the feeling of [being] in the home of a child or a teenager than the house of an adult. It almost has a kind of childlike quality. And also, they usually have age and gender preferences. So, if you're dealing with a guy who likes boys ten to fourteen, his house is going to be decorated and have material [in it] that is going to be of interest to boys ten to fourteen."

Seduction ritual of the child: "They seduce children essentially the same way men and women have been seducing each other ever since the dawn of mankind. You see somebody who is of sexual interest to you. You find out something about them, whether that is three minutes' or three days' or three weeks' or three months' worth of information. You shower them with attention and affection and kindness. You buy them gifts and presents, you gradually try to lower their inhibitions and manipulate them into sexual activity. That is what the pedophile does: he seduces his victims. He is very skilled at relating to them and identifying with them, and he uses those skills to manipulate them and control them."

they should level neverland, its haunted with the busted virginity of youngsters.....TURN IT INTO HOME FOR HOMELSS KIDS

by Anonymousreply 295March 16, 2019 12:07 AM

An uncanny ability to identify with and listen to children: "Number one, they have a good ability to identify with children; they know how to relate to children, they know what their likes and dislikes are. And maybe more important, they know how to listen to them. They learn what their interests are. So, they are very good at using these skills to, what I call, seduce children. In some ways, they can be [childlike themselves]. But it would be a mistake to assume that they are going to be immature and babylike. They just have a magical rapport [with kids]. Matter of fact, some people will describe that they are like a Pied Piper around kids; they just really know how to relate to kids so well. They have this ability to identify with children so well. It is almost like a part of them never grew up. Many of these kids have never been treated so well in their entire lives as they have by a preferential molester."

Collects keepsakes from victims and immortalizes the molestation: "They almost in a sense become human evidence machines. The odds are that the perpetrator will have a souvenir or memento that he took from the child...he may have pictures. [They will] collect pornographic and erotic materials related to children, and these are all things that can be valuable, corroborative evidence in the investigation."

Don't think their behavior is wrong: "Many pedophiles refuse to recognize that what they do is even wrong. They say to themselves, 'Society just doesn't understand what I do. I'm not a bad person. I'm just engaging in something which is now politically incorrect and [that will] change down the road'. The consensus of opinion is there is no cure for pedophilia. There may be treatments for it, there may be things you can do to help these individuals control their behavior...but if you're not admitting what you've done, then you can't even begin treatment--that's the problem."

Multiple victims: "A preferential molester is far more likely to have multiple victims, to not simply have molested one kid ten or twenty times or a hundred times, which sometimes happens. But a preferential molester is likely to have molested 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 kids. [It] begins in their adolescent years and probably continues until almost the day they die."

Why do victimized children continue to defend the molester, for months and years?

Agent Lanning says that, "That kind of thinking goes back to our idea that only monsters molest. These perpetrators are often seemingly the finest people ever to enter the child's life. Who wouldn't want to be with a popular coach, a great Scout Leader, the loyal postman, the favorite uncle, the neighbourhood priest? The perpetrator's station in life and what he gives the child--who is most often growing up in an emotionally if not financially needy situation--is an irresistible magnet."

by Anonymousreply 296March 16, 2019 12:08 AM

"What society wants to look at," Lanning says, "are the simplistic molestation cases. Dirty, evil horrible offenders who snatch and grab sweet, innocent little kids and make them have sex. [But in most] cases, the child has been seduced. The child has cooperated in their victimization, the child has gone to the offender's home again and again and again....and pretty soon you say, 'Well, is that really a victim? He got brand-new shoes, he got a bike, he got a trip to Disneyland, and he got all these benefits.' [To some] this sounds almost like prostitution. Like it was the fault of the child or the parents."

On Lanning telling police officers they need to look past the obvious:

"I try to tell them to embrace the suspect's seemingly good character because that's what a true pedophile acts like. After all, they wouldn't get very far seducing parents and children if they were mean people. Pedophiles usually work hard, go to church, give money to charity and children in the neighbourhood, and are generally helpful to others in the community."

On Jackson supporters who ask where all the other boys are:

"When you have victims who have been seduced by pedophiles, most of them don't tell. Particularly if it's a boy victim...[there's this] stigma of homosexuality. The myth among males is 'death before homosexuality'....A real man would die before he ever engaged in a homosexual act. I have adults come up to me all the time in my presentations, predominately men, when I describe this dynamic and talk about how they were seduced/molested. When I ask them, 'Who did you ever tell about this?' The most common answer is, 'I never told anybody'."

What about after the molestation, when the child becomes too old?

"On any given day the pedophile is attempting to do four things: he is recruiting, seducing, molesting, and--to put it very bluntly--dumping. In other words, he recruits the kid, he seduces the kid, he molests the kid, and then at some point the kid gets too old so [he] wants to move the kid on...to get to his next victim. The hard part is when you finish with the child and the child begins to sense that the only reason this guy was nice to me and did all these wonderful things for me is because I was a child...And as soon as I lost that childlike appearance and characteristic he is not interested in me anymore. And here is where the threats, the blackmail, the violence, the threat of violence, may come into play, as a part of their effort to now keep this child quiet."

Would publicly charging the boy's family with say, extortion, fit the threat pattern of a typical pedophile? With a conspicuous pause and a small smile, Lanning said simply, "Yes."

R285, I've wondered that too. He was always surrounded by boys, and there seem to have been a lot of boys that he shared his bed with. In fact, while the Chandler case was ongoing, Pellicano (in one of his many ill-advised moves), had a press conference in which had two boys claimed that they had slept with MJ in his bed, but that nothing had happened. Given that MJ seems to have been, behind his asexual exterior, a highly sexual person, it's hard to believe that he didn't molest many boys we do not know about.

by Anonymousreply 305March 16, 2019 12:17 AM

R285, the moms said there was a new boy every year. He kept some kids longer and strung them along while he was grooming the new kid.

We know Jordan, Gavin, the two other boys he paid off. It's possible that Brett, Macaulay and Omar are the other 'special friends'. If he were compulsive he would have paid off other families and has them sign an NDA. He might not have gone far with some of the kids. Mostly I think he stung them along till they were 12-14 and had a new kid in his bed at the same time so their was overlap.

If the other kids parents signed an NDA they won't talk. Besides few guys want to deal with the shit the crazy MJ fandom would throw at them should they disclose the abuse.

I think he abused at least 10 boys. Six that we know about. There was that millionaire who talked about being groomed and MJ kissing on him while MJ was supposedly drunk and they were lying in bed together. I'm assuming he did more of that to the kids and picked out certain ones to go further.

R307, no one wants kids to be abused. Jackson is a known pedophile, deal with it.

We are speaking of the cases that we already heard about including 4 payoffs, the reports by staff who mentioned Jackson with his hands down Culkins pants and the specific mention of Brett Barnes as a replacement. I'm being generous by only thinking MJ held himself only to abusing 10 kids. He also messed with their head by dumping them so callously which makes him an abusive asshole in multiple ways.

Look at Sandusky. You think that the 10 who testified were the only ones? He'll no. Pedophiles of male children wind up abusing up to hundreds of children. Big reason bc boys are ashamed of admitting that they were abused. Much less a boy abused by a celebrity with crazy fans.

R316 If I was unaware of the allegations, I might be tempted to accept your statements like "the reports by staff who mentioned Jackson with his hands down Culkins pants" as definitive proof.

Of course, the fact that Culkin has consistently denied that any inappropriate behavior ever occurred proves he is not a victim (but you are intent on making these people victims anyway.) Furthermore, even if he had not: you are well aware that the staff making those allegations were terminated for theft and misconduct. Most of the allegations they make, were not invented until many years later when they first appeared in British tabloids. As if they had any remaining credibility, many of them still owe the Jackson estate money from the defamation lawsuits they lost.

R316 You are making my point. No. I do not believe those ten people are Sandusky's only victims. They were just 10 of the people with credible claims that the prosecution used as witnesses. In fact, many others with a relationship with Sandusky came out with credible claims of abuse.

Now let's complete the comparison that you are making with Michael Jackson--are troves of credible children and adults coming out like they did when Sandusky was arrested? The answer is no, and the people who did file a lawsuit after being abused by Sandusky did not attempt to obtain a settlement in a sealed lawsuit first. They simply spoke the truth, and they were not alone.

Everyone criticizes the mothers of these boys, but lost in the details is that Macaulay Culkin's crazy asshole of a father also knew and apparently was fine with his son sharing a bed with Michael. And wasn't bothered or deterred by the bedroom alarm system. From Culkin's 2005 testimony:

Q. BY MR. ZONEN: Did your father ever come into Michael Jackson’s bedroom while you were in bed with Mr. Jackson alone?

A. From what I remember, yeah.

Q. Did that happen more than once?

A. Yeah. From I remember, it’s -- I don’t really remember all these kind of details, but I knew he knew I was staying there. So -- and occasionally, I would be woken up to do something that he felt like doing.

Q. When was the first time your father walked into the room while you were in bed alone with Michael Jackson?

A. I can’t recall.

Q. How old were you the first time your father walked into the room when you were alone with Michael Jackson?

A. I don’t recall. It was during one of the earlier trips.

Q. So you were about nine years old?

A. Probably a little bit older. Like -- I Don’t think I went there -- I think I went there the first time when I was ten. I think I first met Michael when I was nine.

Q. So the first time you would have been alone in bed with him, you were already ten years old?

A. Probably, yes.

Q. All right. Is there -- was there at the time an alarm on his door going into his bedroom?

A. There was like a walkway kind of thing where if somebody was approaching the door, it would kind of like “ding-dong, ding-dong.”

Q. All right. Do you remember hearing any “ding-dongs, ding-dongs” as your father came into the room?

A. When anyone would approach the room, yeah, You’d hear this kind of -- soft kind of alarm, like “ding-dong” kind of thing.

Q. On the occasion that your father came into the room while you were in bed alone with Michael Jackson, did he say anything to you about that?

A. No.

Q. Did he say anything to Michael Jackson in your presence about your sleeping with him?

A. No. He didn’t really seem to have a problem with it, from what I remember.

R330, The just world hypothesis is actually something discussed in social psychology. It's a defensive measure people take when they hear about bad things happening to others. The fear of something bad happening to them is anxiety provoking so they tend to blame the victim or believe that someone merited that trauma. They can distance themselves from acknowledging that it could happen to them or that in the real world bad things happen to people that don't deserve it. It's not pseudo science it's been demonstrated in multiple psychology studies. MJ fans can't admit that Jackson is a pedophile bc something like that can't happen with someone they admire. For them only bad people do bad things not someone they idealize. As Paris Jackson wrote today. Chillax.

I suspect the attorneys shared by Robson and Safechuck are behind the "therapy showed me the way" catch-22 they use to explain their bizarre actions and miraculous abuse recollections--some of which just happen to coincide with financial issues and career problems. Robson did not pull this off successfully, because he had been in therapy already several times, but Safechuck seems to be using it well. Their medical records will at some point become a part of the lawsuit (doubt they'll release them on their own), and hopefully we'll get a clearer picture of exactly what's going on.

R339 R340 R343 R344 These are hardly the lies that "Jackson truthers" love so much as you claim.

--- The first claim, that there is no evidence that Jackson is a pedophile, is supported by the fact that the children who were around him say not only was he repulsed by sex, but did not molest them or display sexual interest.

---The second, that Jordan Chandler recanted, has never been posted by me or anyone else here that I am aware of. There are much better ways to address Chandler and his father's claims than this.

---The last claim, that "the FBI investigated Jackson for 12 solid years (they helped local police with investigations sporadically)," is another half truth. The FBI and local law enforcement were all very much aware of Jackson, and investigated the claims against him--as they should have. Their investigations revealed no wrongdoing by Jackson, and were closed after he was acquitted. Wikileaks documents provide a glimpse of the sheer extent of this investigation. FOIA requests prove "Between 1993 and 1994 and separately between 2004 and 2005, Jackson was investigated by California law enforcement agencies for possible child molestation. He was acquitted of all such charges. The FBI provided technical and investigative assistance to these agencies during the cases. [Source: FBI.gov]."

There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding this but either scenario is implausible. Either Jimmy and his family knew in 2005 about the abuse and did nothing, or Safechuck didn't come forward until 2013, which means his mother is lying about knowing about it in 2009. The 2013 tweet by Safechuck's cousin who also met Jackson is strange, especially if Jimmy and his mother knew the whole time.

R350 9/10 - but here's why.

You have witnessed that all of the allegations made by James and Wade can and have been questioned, not frivolously, but legitimately. You had to do a lot of research to defend your points (and I respect this.) During this, you also realized that much of your counter-research was necessary because it was not revealed in Leaving Neverland. Regardless of whether you still 100% or 90% believe them both, you are be aware of the sheer amount of background and context that was missing from a legitimate "documentary."

On top of that, It cannot be denied that at least one of the accusers has a history of dubious behavior, such asking to wed at Neverland, sending leading emails to himself/others, etc. Regardless of whether you believe him or not, you are at least aware of why many find him not credible. Finally, you now know of Safechuck's financial issues and the unclear speculation around his therapy and its relation to the lawsuit filed by the same attorney as the other victim.

Finally, I will clarify that I am not R349 or R351, and that there is at least one other person in this thread/conversation who is not anti-MJ.

We are aware of all the evidence, all the many young boys who passed through his life, you have certainly reminded us of the parts that suit you ,tho' you regularly tamper with the facts . We have come to the conclusion Jackson was a pedophile. The circumstantial evidence alone is convincing, without the many first hand, credible accounts, detailing the same grooming procedures Jackson employed, his pattern of concentrating on one attractive boy after another, gaining the trust of the entire star-struck family then isolating them from the child, who became his bed partner behind locked and alarmed doors, we saw for ourselves his lovey-dovey public displays, with the same obscenely young boys, these things are irrefutable and your attempts to discredit them are ridiculous, you really think you can sew doubt in the face of such overwhelming facts. We find the victims credible . Jackson was a pedophile, the highest profile pedophile ever, rather than seek help, or even prey on children in secret, he used his fame and charisma and parlayed it into a broken child persona that allowed him to live as he wanted, with our permission, in public, as a lover of young boys. There is nothing you can say to change our minds, those who believe as you do have similar motivations or are stupid, there is no middle ground on this , you can continue your hopeless mission, be an irritant and bore the pants off everyone in the process, but you will have no effect whatsoever.

R359 Again, we have no proof of this. Safechuck's claims do not add up. If we believe this narrative, that James told his mother in 2005 of the abuse, why did she not do anything then? Jackson was in the middle of the sex abuse trial and common sense dictates she would notify authorities, or at least document his disclosure in some way. Even if he insisted on not going public, did she contact a therapist? Email or send him resources for victims of abuse? There is no indication that she knew because there is no proof that she made even the slightest attempt to act on this shocking information--unlike Robson who at least attempted to manufacture an email trail before filing his lawsuit.

Also, if James Safechuck did indeed recognize the hundreds of alleged incidents of "abuse" were improper back in 2005 (as an adult), why would he claim in his lawsuit: "I have finally come to know and appreciate now, after a little over a year of intensive therapy and psychiatric treatment, that this relationship was a predatory and wholly improper one, and one whereby the decedent (Jackson) used my trust and love of him as a means to victimize and sexually molest me[?]"

There are no answers, only excuses, and those excuses point to a clear attempt to profit at the expense of the Jackson estate.

"These two men, in their late 30s and early 40s, have manufactured a rehearsed and calculated story of abuse after nearly two decades of staunch support for Jackson."

This is speculation on your part. You state this as if it's known fact. It isn't.

"They both testified under oath as children, and one again as a 23 year old adult man, that no abuse ever happened. Their testimony tells of generosity and peculiarity, as many other of Jackson's 'young friends' have stated. The only diversion from their previous testimony now is these fictitious claims, compiled from tabloid books and a twisted imagination."

They were both carefully chosen, groomed, and seduced over time. It was drilled into them that they would be in as much trouble as he was if it was ever found out. And, he seduced them in such a way that they saw nothing wrong with what they were doing with him. In fact, they enjoyed it. They both were, particularly Safechuck, in love with the man. MJ caused them to be in love with him, and the things he could give to them and their families. They were conditioned to lie about their abuse by the man they loved at ages 7 and 10. I don't need to point out that even though they were in love at the time, and may have enjoyed some of the physical contact, it doesn't mean that MJ wasn't systematically DESTROYING their chances of living normal, happy, productive lives. And MJ knew that. He didn't care.

"Robson sought permission to hold his wedding at Neverland -– in the middle of Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial, for which he was acquitted of all charges. Does this sound like the behavior of a sexual abuse survivor?"

One who made a name for himself in the industry, and was still under the spell of MJ. I'm sure Wade, at that time, thought he owed his entire career to MJ, and he was not mature enough to come to terms with what MJ had done to him. What MJ had taken from him.

" How about using the name of your alleged abuser to secure a job production in 'Michael Jackson's ONE,' twice? Once denied for that role after abandoning the team the first time, the same accuser in 2012 begin sending emails to himself and his mother, with leading statements like "how long was I with Michael alone before I was back with you guys?" Another email contains debunked tabloid claims from a former maid and security guard, both of whom were fired for wrongdoing and ordered to pay in court for their lies. 'Wow. None of that is true' replied Wade's mother, before he presumably stopped her from further destroying his case."

I don't understand a word of this. What are these emails? What are you saying they say? Can you show them to me? I would bet $1,000 you can't. It's nonsense.

"After 8 years of perfecting a story and shopping multiple book proposals"

Utter bullshit. Where are the book proposals? Who did she shop it to? Who says he did? Are there letters? Show me.

" a lawsuit (intentionally under seal)"

Meaningless. Wade had spilled everything before filing the lawsuit. He was on the Today Show before he filed suit.

"was filed well after the known statute of limitations--all in an attempt to obtain a secret settlement from the Jackson estate. When they declined, In 2015, Robson's case was dismissed by a Los Angeles judge for expected statutory violations. "

There was no hope of a "secret settlement." Wade spilled what happened. That is again speculation on your part, but it's stupid speculation because Wade, loud and clear, went on Today and said he was molested by Michael Jackson. There could be no hope of a settlement after that.

"His repeated attempts since then to profit from this alleged abuse are well documented since then. 'Finding Neverland' might as well be titled 'Finding Money,.'"

Except, he could have made a ton of money by going to some tabloid, or TMZ, and he didn't. He didn't make a cent from Finding Neverland. Again, you're just flat out wrong.

Hmmm no, I'd say 85% of the specifics of the story of how Michael Jackson groomed, seduced, and molested them was unknown before HBO had the courage to air Finding Neverland. And both men are 100% believable. This happened.

So, whoever you are, you make stuff up, and you try desperately to score rhetorical points instead of trying to get to the truth of the matter. Again, I suspect you know damn well Jackson molested these two guys, and you don't care. You see it as an even exchange.

I've known James Safechuck for over 10 years, and I can tell you he was basically destroyed by Michael Jackson. This is a FACT. If you continue to try to call him a liar, you are contributing, and continuing what Michael began. You are helping to destroy a person.

R361 I will address your claims briefly, and spare you the repetition of your ad hominem attacks.

"We are aware of all the evidence, all the many young boys who passed through his life, you have certainly reminded us of the parts that suit you ,tho' you regularly tamper with the facts ."

>>>Are you also aware that those other young "boys" allege nothing illegal or improper ever occurred with Jackson?

"We have come to the conclusion Jackson was a pedophile."

>>>Hundreds of millions of his fans have come to the conclusion he was not.

"The circumstantial evidence alone is convincing, without the many first hand, credible accounts, detailing the same grooming procedures Jackson employed, his pattern of concentrating on one attractive boy after another,"

>>>Not only is the circumstantial "evidence" not credible, but the many "first hand, credible accounts" you are thinking of must be sourced from the many children and adults who denied any abuse ever occurred. Safechuck and Robson now lack credibility, and themselves echoed these same people for many years--there was no sexual abuse.

"gaining the trust of the entire star-struck family then isolating them from the child, who became his bed partner behind locked and alarmed doors, we saw for ourselves his lovey-dovey public displays, with the same obscenely young boys, these things are irrefutable and your attempts to discredit them are ridiculous,"

>>>Again, I cannot discredit the many children who (if Leaving Neverland is to be believed) were questioned and denied any wrongdoing by Jackson. Their stories match Wade and Robson's perfectly, right up until the invention of abuse--when it is clear they are lying.

"you really think you can sew doubt in the face of such overwhelming facts. We find the victims credible ."

>>>I do not have to sew doubt, it already exists in this hotly debated issue. Clearly, many people do not.

"Jackson was a pedophile, the highest profile pedophile ever, rather than seek help, or even prey on children in secret, he used his fame and charisma and parlayed it into a broken child persona that allowed him to live as he wanted, with our permission, in public, as a lover of young boys. "

>>>Again, let's look at what the many children (and now adults) have to say: no abuse occurred.

"There is nothing you can say to change our minds, those who believe as you do have similar motivations or are stupid, there is no middle ground on this ,"

>>>At least one poster here has already expressed serious doubt about these individual's credibility. I will not respond to your ad hominem.

"' you can continue your hopeless mission, be an irritant and bore the pants off everyone in the process, but you will have no effect whatsoever. Don't bother with the differing opinion stuff or the afraid of your 'facts' nonsense. Michael Jackson was a pedophile."

>>>Again, i refer you to the many, many children who must be victims of Michael Jackson (if we are to believe the documentary of course), who say he was not a pedophile and showed no sexual interest in them whatsoever.

R361 I am working through your reply. Here is the first part of my response. I will split them up to avoid confusing others. My initial comments are indicated by a >>>>>>. My reply to your feedback is notated with +++++++.

>>>>>>>>"These two men, in their late 30s and early 40s, have manufactured a rehearsed and calculated story of abuse after nearly two decades of staunch support for Jackson."

This is speculation on your part. You state this as if it's known fact. It isn't.

+++++++This is speculation, however, the previous testimony and lack of corroboration suggests that it could be true. These allegations are calculated and the plaintiffs are middle-aged men. ________

+++++++They both testified under oath as children, and one again as a 23 year old adult man, that no abuse ever happened. Their testimony tells of generosity and peculiarity, as many other of Jackson's 'young friends' have stated. The only diversion from their previous testimony now is these fictitious claims, compiled from tabloid books and a twisted imagination."

They were both carefully chosen, groomed, and seduced over time. It was drilled into them that they would be in as much trouble as he was if it was ever found out. And, he seduced them in such a way that at the time, they saw nothing wrong with what they were doing with him. In fact, they enjoyed it. They both were, but I think particularly Safechuck, in love with the man. MJ caused them to be in love with him, and the things he could give to them and their families. And they were conditioned to lie about their abuse by the man they loved at ages 7 and 10. I don't need to point out that even though they were in love at the time, and were enjoyed the physical contact, for the most part at the time, doesn't mean that MJ wasn't systematically DESTROYING their chances of living normal, happy, productive lives. And MJ knew that. He didn't care.

>>>>>>>Now you speculate. We have no proof that they were groomed and seduced. Their own sworn testimony however tells they were not. Their actions certainly do not point to abuse either, and their claims to be in love with Michael Jackson, a man they had not spoken with in years, is absurd. One of the two accusers entered into a long-term relationship with another girl, and they both later married other women. Yet, they staunchly supported Jackson.

++++++"Robson sought permission to hold his wedding at Neverland -– in the middle of Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial, for which he was acquitted of all charges. Does this sound like the behavior of a sexual abuse survivor? " One who made a name for himself in the industry, and was still under the spell of MJ. I'm sure Wade, at that time, thought he owed his entire career to MJ, and he was not mature enough to come to terms with what MJ had done to him. What MJ had taken from him.

>>>>>>>>>How was Robson, a 23 year old, “still under the spell of MJ?” He had been in multiple long term relationships since then, and had not spoken to him in some time until he opportunistically sought to benefit from him. This excuse does not hold water.

I am still replying to your other statements.

The goalposts have now moved again to what Stephanie Safechuck did or didn't do, even though it has no bearing on James' credibility. Even though none of us know what she actually did. Even though from day 1 she demonstrated poor judgment w/r/t Michael and her child. Even though there realistically wasn't much she could do when her now adult son tells her Michael was a bad man but won't giver her details, and tells her not to pass that info on. Even though James has already told us his relationship with her is strained to this day. But apparently there's some mythic thing she could have or should have done that would magically make James more credible.

At least it's moved on from conflating James and Wade to conflating James and his mother. Can't wait to see who James is paired with next.

Continued response. ++++++ indicates my statement. >>>>>>Indicates my reply to you.

+++++” How about using the name of your alleged abuser to secure a job production in 'Michael Jackson's ONE,' twice? Once denied for that role after abandoning the team the first time, the same accuser in 2012 begin sending emails to himself and his mother, with leading statements like "how long was I with Michael alone before I was back with you guys?" Another email contains debunked tabloid claims from a former maid and security guard, both of whom were fired for wrongdoing and ordered to pay in court for their lies. 'Wow. None of that is true' replied Wade's mother, before he presumably stopped her from further destroying his case."

I don't understand a word of this. What are these emails? What are you saying they say? Can you show them to me? I would bet $1,000 you can't. It's nonsense.

R400 See R54:

We already addressed the Bashir doc. But here it is again:

Yes, but it is generally acknowledged that Bashir purposefully staged and omitted many details from his film to create an imbalanced and biased representation of Jackson. For example, when Michael Jackson stated that he shared his bed with the boy in the film, Bashir removed the section where the boy added that Jackson slept on the floor.

We know all of this only because Jackson had instructed his own videographer to record every interview without cutting (alongside Bashir's camera crew.) As a result, you can see what Bashir omitted and you also see the interactions between interviews. I highly recommend doing so. Bashir's journalistic practices in that documentary still affect his reputation today.

If you are truly interested in that interview, I would suggest watching: Take Two: The Footage You Were Never Meant to See (also referred to as "the rebuttal video"), which was seen on Fox in the United States. This was presented by Maury Povich and contains even more material which Bashir omitted (it is numerous.)

[quote]Again, I cannot discredit the many children who (if Leaving Neverland is to be believed) were questioned and denied any wrongdoing by Jackson. Their stories match Wade and Robson's perfectly, right up until the invention of abuse--when it is clear they are lying.

You seem to believe that because a vast number of children said Michael did not abuse them, then those who said he crossed the line and DID abuse them must be lying.

“Your honor, I can prove the defender did not murder these two young men because I have signed statements from 19,000 other young men who clearly state the defendant did NOT murder them.”

So Michael took some kids to his room and didn’t make it to the fondling stage ... happens all the time with adults as well for numerous reasons. The chemistry is not there, someone sends clear messages they’re not interested, someone is oblivious to the fact that it’s a sexual situation, boundaries are actually respected, etc.

But when the child actually gives the predator some encouragement or a green light (like I did to my pets ed teacher/abuser because I was a 10-year old homosexual child who admired him, confused it with love, he knew it, all leading to a scenario that made me believe for over 20 years that I came on to him), then things reach the next level.

It is entirely possible that Jackson didn’t touch Culkin, Lennon, or Feldman (though their damaged lives plant a seed of doubt in my mind), just the same way it could be possible they don’t want to speak of any abuse for fear of derailing their careers, or damaging their masculinity. Straight men have a much harder time confirming abuse by other men. We will never know unless one of them comes forward with an admission, and then rabid fans and spin lawyers will acusse said person of being an admitted liar who lacks credibility, just like they’ve done with the likes of Robson, Safechuck - and Michael Cohen in politics - without addressing the obvious fact that the only lying they did was to protect the crimes the accused committed, at the request (or in a pedophiles case, threat) of the abuser.

And, yeah, if MJ loved all children, where were all the young girls and homely boys? Back at Central Casting on the reject pile?

Finally, any disgust MJ may have expressed towards sexual acts in porbography were directed at ADULT porn, which he clearly shunned in favor of sex with children, and ultimately served as part of the grooming process. “Yuck, those grown hairy people are disgusting, but small smooth children like you are exquisitely beautiful...”

Why does the pedo apologist think Jackson would ever have slept on the floor? The bedrooms were vast and he would have had another bed in there. He had chronic insomnia and would never have subjected himself to 'the floor'.

He was there in the bed, spooning 7 year olds and making them suck his dick.

Absolutely repugnant. His legacy is ruined forever.

by Anonymousreply 414March 16, 2019 8:39 AM

R413 I understand your point - that because almost all of the boys have not alleged abuse this does not mean the few who have are not victims. However, even with this in mind, it is implausible to think that If Michael Jackson were a serial pedophile, that nearly all of boys before and after Robson/Safechuck would not make claims, or go out of their way to deny any abuse.

Someone else mentioned Sandusky, who had many people come out and verify his predatory behavior. Another mentioned Jimmy Savile, whose abuse was described by police as being on an unprecedented scale with hundreds of witnesses coming out against him. My point in mentioning these men is provide context to how serial abusers of children (including famous ones) did not have any issue with having the many victims make claims, without resorting to lawsuits or other suspect behavior first.

R414 Bashir's documentary was addressed in R54, this is where most people reference the claim he slept with children. I can also point you to the number of children stayed with Jackson, and say he never touched them or acted inappropriately. This includes Wade and James, whose stories changed in adulthood to satisfy their financial motivations. Also, his "legacy" is unlikely to be affected, especially since we've done this before in 2005 with little effect. I suspect the renewed attention will bring the Jackson's estate more money, as his music streams have increased since the documentary aired.

Never Black children or girls. In retrospect, Michael Jackson CLEARLY had a type. Admittedly, I’m not a wordsmith. I really like just getting to the point. No double talk, word salads etc. because that way you can’t bullshit your way out of a direct question.

I would love if an MJ defender would drop all of the money grabbing theories, the fandom, the contrived “War on Black men” and lost childhood bullshit and try being objective.

Don't pedophiles often prey on the vulnerable kids? Those coming from broken homes etc? But do they also prey on vulnerable, confused kids? As in, confused about their sexuality. Because that would make a lot of sense. If pedophiles preyed on gaylings because they could see that the kids nwould accept their advances.

Brandi's relationship with Wade, if true, has zero to do with his allegations. Do people seriously think abuse victims can't have other relationships? Wade didn't tell his mother, other family members, any of his other girlfriends, and didn't tell his fiance then wife until after they had a child together, but Michael's niece thinks that as a teenager either she's such a genius she'd somehow just know if he was being abused or that Wade would have told her of all people?

Plus assuming she's telling the truth, they started dating at the earliest when Michael's sexual abuse of Wade tapered off and he moved onto a younger boy. She says they dated 7+ years and that he cheated on her with Britney which broke up her engagement to Justin. So their relationship was until at least 2002 (if not later), which means it started no earlier than 1995ish when Wade was 13ish (if not later). Per Wade's allegations, he wasn't seeing Michael much at all by then. The last sexual encounter was the underwear incident when Wade was 14.

Brandi's story is irrelevant and that she chose to share it with Jerry Sandusky sympathizer John Ziegler and have him promote it is telling.

He does modestly now, but doesn’t want for anything and doesn’t seem like a guy whose lifestyle is in any way restricted.

More from Dan Reed

[quote] I wanted to bring up some of the main points that the truthers keep coming out with, because I keep seeing the same points. There’s a scene in Leaving Neverland where James’s mother says she was so happy Jackson died because she knew he wouldn’t hurt another child. But James claimed he didn’t tell anyone about the abuse—or even realize he was abused—until 2013, when Robson came forward.

[quote] Well no, the reason they’re saying this is because they’re basically riffing off of [Jackson lawyer] Howard Weitzman’s tip sheet. Weitzman wrote his 10-page rebuttal of the documentary without having seen the documentary, so a lot of the things he includes as supposed claims that we make in the documentary are actually very selectively drawn out of context from the amended legal complaint. So we’re talking apples and oranges here. In the documentary, James says that in 2005, he didn’t want to testify and told his mom that he didn’t want to testify because, he said, “Michael is not a good man.” So he tells his mom and doesn’t expand, but to Stephanie it’s very clear what he means: James was abused. But they do not have any further discussion and he begs her not to tell anyone else. It stayed between the two of them until 2013. So that’s why she stands up and does a little jig when he dies, because she realizes she doesn’t have to put a steak knife through this guy’s heart.

Again, we're supposed to believe his mother knew that James was abused since 2005 and didn't seek justice even when Jackson was alive and on trial. She instead chose to keep quiet.

R527 the only person lying is you. Just because you say “more lies” and “moving the goalpost” does make you believable. You love saying that, when the irony is—you’re the one making stuff up. See R529

R529 Wade's father committed suicide. Safechuck's dad is strangely absent from the documentary.

by Anonymousreply 533March 16, 2019 8:37 PM

R529/R532, more lies. Wade Robson's (and Jordy Chandler's) father committed suicide. Not Safechuck.

You keep going on about Wade, James and the other accusers credibility, but you keep posting and repeating lies.

Odd how the people who accuse MJ’s parents keep killing themselves because of mental issues. Sounds like a conspiracy

R533, Stephanie Safechuck talked briefly about how she and James' father were split up but still living together (Michael apparently used that as a way to further drive a wedge between James and his parents). It's heavily implied but not outright stated that the family is pretty fractured.

by Anonymousreply 539March 16, 2019 8:40 PM

R539 Stephanie Safechuck is clearly a lying. There’s no way she knew about the abuse in 2005—clearly covering for James.

by Anonymousreply 540March 16, 2019 8:41 PM

R536, those aren't "details." It's speculation and nonsense from a defender who knows nothing. These people don't even know which James Safechuck is being sued.

R540 thinks if he says it enough, it magically becomes true! Very Peter Pan--no wonder you're such an MJ fan.

by Anonymousreply 541March 16, 2019 8:41 PM

I mean momma Safechuck didn’t tell a friend, send a text, do something that backs that up? If she could prove that in 2005 she knew it would clear up a LOT of doubts that he’s making it up now. That would be real evidence.

No it wouldn't R542. You'd disregard and lie about it along with every other piece of evidence you disregard and lie about.

Beside, you don't know what she did or didn't do in 2005. The case hasn't gone through discovery or trial.

It looks like TMZ has falsely reported that Paris Jackson has attempted suicide. What more proof do you need that these media organizations are in the business of wanting to destroy lives?

R544 IDK about you, but my mom would be calling and texting the hell/annoying the hell out of me, esp. in 2005. If one of my family members (esp my son) told me as an adult he was raped I’d find that fucker. Even if I didn’t, There’d be a long trail showing me and my kid talking about it.

by Anonymousreply 547March 16, 2019 8:47 PM

R544, plenty of people who were molested as children had parents who did absolutely nothing at any point. As you’ve been told multiple times, predatory pedophiles learn how to target the most vulnerable children.

by Anonymousreply 548March 16, 2019 8:47 PM

R544 what would your parent do if you asked them not to tell anyone, and you refused to give them any details, and you're estranged from them? Are your parents so disrespectful of your wishes and so disinterested in repairing their relationship with you that they'd ignore your directive about something so incredibly sensitive, personal, and painful? Is that why you're so ridiculous, because you can't trust your own parents?

R546, as part of the false report, TMZ claimed she attempted suicide because of Wade and James. Looks like they are trying to whip up more outrage against Jackson's accusers.

by Anonymousreply 556March 16, 2019 8:54 PM

^ You still can't say what exactly she should have done that you'd know about right now. Go to the police/DA? She literally has no information and her son was scared and didn't want Michael to know he told her anything. Go to the press? That would put focus on her son he wasn't prepared for against his express wishes. You have no way of knowing what she may have done in her personal life.

You just keep lying and when caught try to deflect to something irrelevant.

by Anonymousreply 557March 16, 2019 8:55 PM

So despite Safechuck coming to this realization in 2005, in which he shared his story with his mother and most likely other family members, he did not seek psychiatric help until he decided to file his lawsuit.

by Anonymousreply 558March 16, 2019 8:58 PM

R557 I never said she had to go to the DA. I said if he told her in 2005 then she should have SOMETHING backing that up.

Yep R558 his timeline was to see a dude file a lawsuit, then go to a doctor and cry abuse, then file his own lawsuit with the same lawyer.

That’s why I’m saying the momma can prove he was really abused if she really knew. She needs to dig up her blackberry. ESPECIALLY since in 2005 he would have no reason to lie like he does now. He could’ve got the money and his cake too.

Of course he did it. I don't think there is any doubt now, despite what defenders here are saying. Sure you have some naive fools, but by in large, people believe he is guilty. As for James's mother, wtf cares? My opinion of both her and Wade's mom is that they knew on some level what was going on at the time and allowed it to happen. Michael knew how to pick the mindless sheep. This all goes beyond the documentary, there is so many other victims that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

by Anonymousreply 572March 16, 2019 9:18 PM

if momma Safechuck could pull an “I’m sorry or get better soon type of card” she sent him back in the day even that would show she knew. They can do forensics and stuff on ink and stamps.

R575, and what about Jordan and Gavin? Just because he got off doesn't mean he isn't guilty. Nothing was disproved with Jordan. Not to mention all the hush money he paid to some of these boys and their families. The FBI could have gotten him and the chose not to, twice. Celebrity privledge at its finest.

R576, it doesn't really matter. It's a very minuscule piece of the story. What's the difference if she knew before or after 2005. I don't care about her credibility, only James'. He is totally believable.

No other man, black, white, purple or green would have gotten away with would he did. He was a pedophile, plain and simple. His status is what kept him at out of prison.

Learn to read R583. I said that local law enforcement wanted to charge him with transporting a child across state lines and the FBI DECLINED. Also should be noted what the two social workers witnessed. The FBI also DECLINED to pursue the case of the two Mexican boys he molested. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Spin all you want, there is so much evidence it's comical to believe he didn't do it.
