Is it weird and crossing the line to have kids sleep over at your house? Yes. Unacceptable? Yes. But do I think he did these disgusting, irreprehensible acts? I don't think so... in everything I've read there are so many holes and so many pay days for people who shared their "stories"... most of which were conflicting or chronologically flawed. Add to that, the fact that there are many level-headed friends and so many charitable acts done by MJ, and it just doesn't add up. I don't know for sure- noone will, but I think my attitude has changed about this guy in the last few days.
I'm the opposite. I used to think he was a victim by people who wanted to get rich, but after reading more about, I think he did molest those kids.
