They would have had more closure if they had brought him to trial at the time! It seems people come out with all sorts of accusations when the person is dead. I'm sure many are true, some probably just out to get money, but there will never be the real truth with one side dead.

Im no massive fan of his music, but there does seem to be a mass amount of public figures from this time period and before who got away with a lot of things which got covered up (££) and only coming to light more recently when people are realising what happened was in fact WRONG.
People were ashamed to speak out in the past as the support network was not present to help them and provide the required support. Its the same with domestic abuse, rape etc.. fortunately, more people are now able to speak out about it and there is more of a general understanding. I reckon he was guilty of something for sure.

Being a bit Goofy

A lot of youngsters who were abused and groomed believed at that time that they were in loving consensual relationships. It’s only growing up they come to the horrible realisation they were actually victims of abuse. I personally believe this to be the case with these two men.

From the few clips I have seen in definitely seems they were well and truly groomed into believing they were special and it was an 'adult relationship they were in.
I saw one say he was the kindest man he knew and yet he raped me. It must be awful to feel so conflicted. |

I've been reading a lot of comments on various forums and as expected most of his fans defend him and always will..I think he was a music legend but do think he was guilty of abuse and so is no different to Gary Glitter,Rolf Harris,R Kelly etc etc.

I'm certainly no expert, thankfully on this subject. And no child of mine would be allowed anywhere near an adult man to have a sleep over (close family members are trusted of course)
Jimmy Saville always gave me the creeps, long before anything came out about his abuse. And it seems evident that people allowed him to abuse many people, because he was raising money for their causes. Which makes them as bad as him! I have sympathy with these children who say they were abused by MJ, but the truth cannot come out when he is not around to defend or deny. I wasn't implying that because his music was good, that that should make any difference if he was abusing boys. I saw him way before the allegations started. Probably wouldn't have gone along, if they came out before. It seems MJ was a victim of abuse himself, and I don't understand why he could continue the abuse to another generation. But that's the damage his abuse has caused.

They weren't paid for the documentary. Just for the record.
There are many, many reasons why someone would stay quiet for years and speak out later. Fear, guilt, shame, lack of understanding about what happened to them and that it was wrong. James Safechuck said he only really realised what he'd been through when his own son turned the same age as he had been when the abuse started and he saw how young and innocent he was. People often wait to speak until after the abuser has died as they never really felt like they escaped the hold they had on them. There's no 'right' way to react to abuse. I can't stress that enough. Talking about what 'you would have done' in that situation is just ridiculous - you don't know. Even if you had the exact same experience you would likely react totally differently as a result of your own personality and psyche. It's so unhelpful to judge others based on what you might have done in a situation that you weren't in and is a huge reason why victims don't come forward.
