Michael Jackson passed away

Gary Glitter has been found guilty of a number of crimes against children in a number of different countries. Personally I would say that makes him guilty of such.
Mr. Jackson has not been found guilty of anything. If the parents of the child who was paid a ridiculous amount of money were actually interested in his well-being they would have taken the matter to court & let the law decide. They did not. I think that says more about the parents (who let their son into this ridiculous situation with a man who obviously had deep problems) as to the defendant.

Yes, I think those in the circles he moved in were aware of his predilections (despite never being convicted of anything sinister) and sought to gain financial advantage from it. However, you would have assumed that his family, friends and employees would have protected him to some degree if he was as vulnerable as some would have us believe. It seems he was left wide open to law suits and accusations.

Bob, to me if they had let it go to court they may not have been offered the big sum of money so they cut and run. he was guilty, if not why pay? This is the exact same as saying OJ was innocent, technically he was innocent but reality every body in the whole world knows he was guilty, money and smart lawyers got him off, exactly the same as wacko would have given the chance... They put their son with an adult!! People cant excuse his behavoir on his upbringing, how his dad was so bad to him, never let him grow up etc etc... he was an adult and DID know better...

this is all about making jokes at his expense, sorry if it offends you but he was a joke.... He was a great musician yes i agree (when he was black) , but in my book being a paedophile far outways his musical achievements... and yes im sorry he was a paedophile, too much evidence or just too many accusations for him to be the innocent party all the time!!! Gary Glitter will be remembered as a paedophile so why shouldnt this joker?
20 million reasons i suspect!!
