I've no idea whether he 'molests' them in a physical, genital way or whether his fetish is a more complex eroticisation of his particular version of the notion of childhood.
I think Ganesh has hit it on the head right there.
The Bashir special gave me the impression that MJ sees himself as a child, is in so many ways stuck in childhood psychologically, which leads me to believe that if he is molesting children - and it seems likely he is - he genuinely believes these relations or encounters or whatever are okay because it's all 'innocent' and 'loving.' He doesn't see himself as an adult victimizing boys. Should he be locked up? Yeah, in a mental institution.
The bottom line, though, is as G. just said more eloquently than I will.... Even if there's no sexual contact happening, he is putting these boys into wholly unhealthy, eroticized adult-child relationships, and that's child abuse as well.
Evidently the same officer who's charging MJ now was the one who brought charges in 1993 which were settled out of court. Purely speculation: I imagine this guy, who has 9 kids, has taken it as his personal mission to get child abuse charges to stick to a guy who has evaded them for so many years, despite plenty of shady behavior.
(I'd just like to add it was extremely difficult to avoid double-entendres in writing this message. My punning mind has no tact.) |
