What it looks like
Basically, it all comes down to “if it walks like a duck…”

child or child molester
Goodreads Review, ‘be careful who you love’ – diane dimond
since the environment around these books are kind of “split” into those who believe Michael Jackson was a misunderstood 10 year mentally regressed man, who wouldn’t touch a child, usually the staunch fans, and those who thinks he actually was a serial child molester
This is a false dichotomy.
There exists a third, and maybe even a fourth, and fifth, option.
That is in a nutshell the problem with the public perception.
This argument is framed as if the fans are delusional, while everybody else is realistic. Sadly there are just as many fanatic haters out there, and there are also fans, interested bystanders or people on the fence interested in facts.
When it comes to who believes what there is a more substantial differentiation: Those who have researched the facts and those who are uninformed.

Tom Mesereau about MJ’s porn collection and the Prosecution
“The prosecution in my opinion didn’t know what to do with the fact that they found ten years worth of magazines – Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler – at Neverland. Which would suggest that Michael Jackson was heterosexual, interested in seeing pictures of beautiful women who were naked. They weren’t quite sure how to fit that into their theory that he was a pedophile. So they came up with the notion that a pedophile will take magazines like this to somehow groom the alleged victim.”

Adult Porn to groom
scientific Paper
Definition of grooming:1Grooming is the psychological process predators always have used to encourage children to engage in sexual activity – Source for the following: https://www.justice.gov/psc/docs/natstrategyreport.pdf2Grooming usually involves normalizing sexualized behavior in the offender-child relationship by introducing increasingly intimate physical contact by the offender toward the victim, very gradually sexualizing the contact, and sometimes using child pornography to break down the child’s barriers.
The N-JOV study found that […] (in) Internet-initiated sex crimes […] 9% of offenders sent the victim adult pornography, and 10% of offenders sent the victim child pornography (Wolak et al. 2004).

What we know so far
Here is the extent of our research in short:
- This situation revolves more around perceptions than reality.
- Michael struggled significantly with accurately assessing external appearances for clear reasons. There is compelling evidence suggesting that he either failed to recognize these aspects or intentionally chose to challenge expectations and resist external pressures, thereby exacerbating certain circumstances.
- Expecting Michael Jackson to adhere to arbitrary behavioral norms is essentially setting him up for failure. He was never not famous, and his existence was anything but ordinary.
- Currently, there is no concrete evidence supporting the allegations against him. In fact, the evidence suggesting his innocence is substantive.
- The challenge of his defense is closely linked to his public persona. It resembles entering a boxing match against Muhammad Ali with one’s hands restrained. To convincingly argue against the false media narrative and the accusations, he would need to reveal who he really is, a task he opted not to undertake.
- Women who publicly state that there was no romantic involvement, aside from perhaps a kiss, may contribute to his narrative and act in accordance with his preferences. (This, of course, does not imply that this is always the case.)
- Michael’s first wife was equally motivated to protect herself from bullying, shame, and ridicule for falling in love with him as she was to defend him. She found herself largely isolated in this defense, as many within MJ’s circle had little incentive to tarnish his image.
