Michael Jackson, convenient freak : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 29/3/2019

This is not to say that Jackson is guiltless; we are simply left to build upon images of degeneracy that, when viewed from a distance, confirm the ledgers of the accuser.

Foxy,

There have been other documentaries that have dealt with this topic. The only reason that these boys were chosen was because of their links with MJ, which made the roughly $300m for the producer along with the safety of MJ not being able to sue. While the men in the film did not directly receive cash, their fame will certainly garner them a small fortune each.

As for child marriages these seem to predominate in the muslim countries which actually strengthens my point.

"Child marriages are still commonplace in the Arab world, with one in seven girls marrying before the age of 18"

"According to the National Statistical Institute, there were 481 marriages of Bulgarian girls under the age of 18 in 2015."

7% of girls in Macedonia are married before the age of 18 and 1% are married before their 15th birthday. (35% muslim population)

9% of girls in Ukraine are married before their 18th birthday...According to a 2013 public opinion survey, 42% of respondents reported that they first had sexual intercourse between the ages of 16 and 18. Analysis shows that pregnancy is the main reason that courts grant permission for 16 or 17 year old girls to marry.

21% of girls in Pakistan are married before their 18th birthday and 3% are married before the age of 15. According to UNICEF, Pakistan has the sixth highest number of absolute child brides in the world – 1,909,000.

All your stats abouts young girls in far flung places are irrelevant.

Michael Jackson was interested in getting up close and personal with BOYS IN HIS BED not girls.

Shadow Minister, those stats are shocking. Not the sort of thing you'd expect to read about in places like Ukraine and Bulgaria.

Foxy et al,

The problem with one sided polemics that don't allow any contribution from "the other side" is the high probability of a cock up in the facts, and one monster cock up has just reared its head.

In the doco, accuser James Safechuck claims he was abused from 1988 until 1992 when he was aged 14 and was molested in a room within the Neverland station, yet Santa Barbara County construction permits show approval for the building of the structure happened in September 1993.

This and a string of other inconsistencies show that at best that JS is at best embellishing and at worst lying through his teeth.
