Michael Jackson was a castrato, his father had him chemically castrated at a young age to preserve his high pitch voice. After losing his license Michael Jackson's doctor published this in his book with no fear of patient-doctor confidentiality laws. I don't think Michael Jackson was a pedophile. None of the cases where ever concluded to a guilty verdict. The case that he settled out of court was right in the middle of his European tour, if he had canceled the tour he would have lost way more money then he paid out in a settlement. There's an interview of Michael saying that was the biggest mistake of his life to settle out of court in order to keep the tour going.
