When I see interviews of him talking about the allegations of molesting children and being questioned about letting children sleep in his bed, I don't see someone guilty of any wrong-doing, I see someone who was desperately trying to get a piece of his life back that he was not allowed to have. The way the media portrayed him really sickens me, and I truly feel sad for him and the life he's had to lead because of these allegations.

Let's just say it's sad for everyone involved, not just MJ, who courted media attention like his job
requires, since it is safe to say he turned into a paedophile who had a hand at perpetuating sadness for others too.
Another thing that struck me about him is that one of the reasons he turned that ways is possibly the fact that nobody suggested a coping mechanism that involved striving for survival, which is what gives back a fraction of those who have been victims of abuse a regular life, and a newly-found peace of mind. And, the most important thing: safety for others around them.
We will never know if anyone close to him ever suggested a step-back approach at one point in his life, and took into consideration the fact that dude was in the thick of media attention at a very young age, and with more baggage than it is normally sustainable for a child.
