I think that, at minimum, he was definitely guilty of being a weirdo who didn't understand boundaries between adults and children.

Now, as for whether he was actually guilty of a crime.

I think that the jury made the right call in finding him not guilty of crimes against Gavin Arvizo.

However, I think his supporters incorrectly conflate being found not guilty with being found innocent.

And, furthermore, even if he was innocent of crimes specifically against Gavin Arvizo, I think his supporters incorrectly rule out the possibility that he might have committed crimes against other people.

He was clearly molested as a child.

Molesters are products of child molestation.

Guilty AF.

The more I learn about the industry and how artists are controlled, the more I think the industry went after him. I'm definitely not saying he is innocent. But look at how they try and control artists such as Michael or Prince or many, many others..... Even Diddy for that matter. He's a disgusting human, but don't think the powers that be let him get away with everything he did for years until they needed to hold it against him. In the case of Diddy, I think they are punishing him as well as sending a message to all of the other people they control

Leaving neverland on HBO is a show that says he was guilty and a predator. Might be made up but its pretty detailed.

I’m sure he did shady stuff.

I also think Hollywood did some awful stuff to him too which did not help.

His father was an absolute prick, and those kids suffered for it. Michael Jackson lost his mind before he knew he had one.

He caught a lot of bad press. Even his cause of death. They said it was drug abuse. It wasn’t.

The problem in my opinion is that it's hard to nail down Jackson for any specific crime against any specific child.

There's a lot of smoke that makes me suspect that he committed crimes against somebody somewhere along the line.

However, I do not think that there was enough evidence to convict him of crimes specifically against Arvizo beyond a reasonable doubt. In fact, even under a civil "preponderence of the evidence" standard, there would be a lot of reason to suspect that Arvizo was a false accuser.

However, even if Arvizo was a false accuser, that doesn't mean that Jackson wasn't guilty of crimes against other people.
