Do you know that there still are people who believe that OJ was innocent of the murders of his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman and that he was railroaded when found guilty of the Las Vegas kidnapping and robbery of the people in the hotel room? I guarantee you that the next story of a 30+ year old man, celebrity or not, sleeping with pre-teens or adolescents will bring out the defenders of such actions. The defenders will use Michael Jackson as an example of a fine person who did exactly the same thing and that no harm ever came from the man-boy relationships.
Many times, defenders of those who engage in illegal, criminal or immoral behavior are those who have a problem dealing with authority figures or behaving in a conventional manner themselves. They grab any situation short of absolute visual evidence or a confession as a means to demonstrate that, yet again, the "authorities" are trampling on the rights of the accused.
Not saying that these defenders are good or bad, just curious.
