[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 439336, member: 8"] Perhaps it's a small step from "parents allowing their children to sleep with Michael Jackson and totally believing there's nothing wrong with it" to "that situation couldn't make it [I]easier[/I] for anyone to accuse him". Not all child abusers are billionaires and I can imagine that some people would struggle to put that aside - regarding your question "what makes MJ's case different from other child abuse trials". Also, it's not the lack of information, people have been [I]overwhelmed[/I] with information from all sides and this has the tendency to blur things. I'm not saying that this is [I]my[/I] opinion but I can understand why the (alleged) flawed perception could exist. I believe things have happened because the alternative "absolutely nothing happened" just seems too outlandish. I'm sure this idea would exist even without the allegations. And yet, when people come forward after many years it all seems a bit too on the nose, too self-explanatory, too easy. If there's one thing I hate, it's people explaining a joke. [/QUOTE]
