You sound awfully certain.
Let's go over what we know shall we?

Only two kids have EVER come forward.

*Evan Chandler, father and ultimate accuser in the first molestation accusation, opted for a settlement rather than justice. He was caught on tape mulling over a decision to go through with what, for all intents and purposes, was merely a well-executed extortion scheme. A scheme that subsequently lead to the beginning of the end of Jackson's career. We'll forget the fact that his son, Jordan, was under the influence of sodium amythal (see: powerful sedative) when he made his confession. A sedative administered by his FATHER. Heh...go figure. Jackson's properties were raided, but authorities were able to produce no hard evidence. AND...prosecutors were also unable to produce any corroborating witnesses. Jackson did settle, but only at the request of his attorneys and financial advisors. A lengthy trial would likely have cost him 4 or 5 times what the Chandler family received.

*In the Arvizo case...
Prosecutors were able to produce witnesses, but certainly not those with any credibility. Most of them were former employees who were involved in financial disputes with Jackson or had past criminal convictions. Arvizo's mother, Janet, had a prior welfare fraud conviction. Gavin Arvizo's testimony was shaky, his mother's courtroom behavior was anything but normal and the case ultimately fell apart (Jackson was found not guilty). There were also many Jackson associates who testified that nothing improper had taken place during their exposure to Jackson and his Neverland home. It should also be noted that Jackson was examined by world-renowned clinical psychologist Stan Katz, who said Jackson did NOT fit the profile of a pedophile.

But I suppose those two (lousy) accusations, in 16 years, are all you need to convict Jackson in the court of public opinion as an unrepentant child molester.

Bravo.
