It's like those internet men who arrange to meet up with teens and then claim that they just wanted to be friends or help them with their homework... or whatever. I think it would be ok to assume the worst.
Except in Jackson's case, there are organizations and groups that stand to make a lot of money on making him look bad. Tabloids, ex employees who hold a grudge, opportunist parents, etc. Im not sure of his guilt or innocence, but I can't fully accept one side of the story without considering the other.
