There is no excuse for abusing children and if MJ did, his fame shouldn't come into it. I would never forgive a Peodophile no matter who they were or how famous.
The thing is he has gone to his grave and no one is any the wiser of the truth even those that would know,should they ever come forward they would be accused of doing it for the cash.
I'm not sure I believe he abused kids, but he should have never put himself in a position for people to speculate.

^You have assumed MJ is guilty. He made a mistake placing himself in a situation where he would look guilty.

Depending on the person, I think I could forgive just about anything. Also, I believe that pedophiles are mentally ill and they cannot help themselves. Also, pedophiles are often children of pedophiles.

I'm sorry, but like someone said earlier, I don't give two s***s about his childhood, if he were to touch another child (or my own for that matter) I would never forgive him. People always blame the childhood..Why? Eventually you grow up, and learn right from wrong on your own, not just what your parents taught you. What gives/gave him the right to violate another human being..a child... in such a personal and inappropriate way?

Nothing, that's what.
