    Except the fact that Jackson did constantly hang out with young pre-teen boys and admitted to sleeping with them in his bed.

    Not only that, he engaged in this behaviour for more than a decade. It’s not just “re-living childhood,” it was a constant part of his life.

    He could have stopped hanging out with young pre-teen boys after the first abuse scandal in the early 90s, yet he didn’t.

      Sharing a bed is not the same thing as sexual molestation. Nobody is doubting that MJ was an oddball but to jump from that to child molestor is a leap.

      And there’s no time limit on re-living your childhood.

        I don’t think we will come to a common understanding on this topic.

        I finished watching the second part and I don’t believe the two men are lying and I think they are telling the truth.

        If Jackon was never involved with young pre-teen boys in any manner, I would be willing to give Jackson more benefit of the doubt. But this is not the case.
