1) There is no reason for these 2 men to make this up at this point. 2) Tell this story, but remove the name "Michael Jackson" with "John Smith", and the world would UNIVERSALLY condemn John Smith to burn in hell.
These 2 men were very believable especially when you see how MJ used the same tactics with each new child.
He displayed all the moves of a typical pedophile....except he wasnt a typical pedophile, he was one of the most famous people on the planet and was an extremely rich and powerful man who was absolutely idolized by half the planet. Grooming becomes grooming on steroids under those conditions. He had the money and fame to make almost anything happen for these kids and their families.
It's a very sad story and one the whole world wishes wasnt true...but it is and so many of us have to come to terms with it, just like the families who were fooled by the fame and fortune and the aura of MJ....so were we. And that's a hard thing to come to grips with.
