Make no mistake when it comes to elite child exploitation the Michael Jackson case shows in detail how power, wealth, fame and influence can not only groom the child but also how a powerful Public Relations Team can help groom society to not only ignore the obvious but excuse it away. Many on voat have discussed how Hollywood is slowly conditioning society to accept child rape as a normal, harmless part of life. They place it in movies, art, music, pseudo psychology text books, news articles, etc. But over 25 years ago the Public Relations Team of Michael Jackson was passing off beyond inappropriate behavior as totally harmless. Society was told that MJ was a harmless man child who was also a all American heterosexual who could not keep his hands off Lisa Marie Presley. These ideas were not just by chance but we're carefully crafted PR propaganda to sympathize with the predator and condemn the victims. Back in 1993 child sexual abuse was a major topic. Many positive changes were made to educate people on how child predators behave and how to help victims of abuse. However what was also big in 1993 was image making. MTV was still a major player and even people like George Michael, Elton John were packaged as heterosexual. I make this point not to equate homosexuality to pedophilia but to show how strong and important image was in that era. So now it is 2018 , we understand even more that grown men sleeping with children is beyond suspicious. We understand that adults who try to isolate and spend countless hours alone with a child should be immediately looked into. We understand that Hollywood has a major problem with child abuse. We understand that it can take decades for victims to come forward. We understand that cash settlements are a way for high-power celebrities to get away with criminal activity. But still the architect of grooming and deception gets a pass from many. It's time we listen to the victims of Michael Jackson because their history of abuse brings us exactly to this point in time in 2018.
