Michael Jackson
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer-songwriter and boylover (hebephile).He is sometimes referred to by the nickname "King of Pop", or by his initials MJ. He began his music career as a member of the singing group known as The Jackson 5 when he was around 8 years old. Jackson is arguably the most prominent, and perhaps the wealthiest, American boylover.
Neverland Ranch
Neverland Ranch, in Santa Barbara County, California, was designed as a place for boys; the name came from Peter Pan, of J.M. Barrie (another boy lover), and was a place where boys never grew up. Neverland Ranch was a private amusement park, with two trains, one with a miniature steam locomotive, a petting zoo, a Ferris wheel, numerous other rides including a roller coaster and bumper cars, and an amusement arcade. There were no clocks, and it was never bedtime.
Jackson was lavish with the parents, some of whom must have been aware of what was happening. He would invite entire families to Neverland, and provide transportation there; parents were kept busy while Jackson went off with the boy he most liked. Jackson, with whatever boy(s) were with him, slept in a separate building, surrounded by alarms to warn about someone approaching. He is reported to have sometimes watched porn with the boys.
For years there were no complaints at all about this lifestyle, from parents or boys or anyone else. None of the Neverland staff went to the sheriff. Numerous celebrities visited, and the only one reported to have made a negative remark was Marlon Brando; Elizabeth Taylor did not.
Legal troubles
Jordan Chandler (1993-1994)
Jackson's legal troubles began in 1993, with the case of Jordan Chandler, who at the time was 12. Jackson was arrested on suspicion of child abuse. Two grand juries refused to indict him, and no charges were ever filed. The case was settled the following year, and the investigation closed, after a payment of at least $15 million by Jackson's insurance company, with non-disclosure agreements on both sides. (The amount of the payment has never been revealed, nor have documents that specify it been discovered.) Jackson did not admit any wrongdoing. According to a motion passed to Judge Melville in 2004, leading up to the 2005 trial, Evan Chandler himself is the one who initiated the settlement with Jackson's insurer.[1] Jackson's insurance company "negotiated and paid the settlement, over the protests of Mr. Jackson and his personal legal counsel" and was "the source of the settlement amounts"; as noted in a 2005 memorandum in People v. Jackson.[2] [3]
In 1994 Jordan announced that his accusations of sexual abuse by Michael Jackson were false, the result of coercion by his father. Jordan filed for emancipation from his parents and has had no contact with them since then. He is reported to have left the country to avoid having to testify against Jackson. In 1996 he obtained a restraining order against his father Evan Chandler, who committed suicide in 2009, shortly after Jackson's death. Jordan is reported to be living under a different name on Long Island.
Throughout his life, he was the target of tabloid gossip and rumor including allegations that he had sexual relationships with boys. That he had young teen boys sharing his bed is not disputed. He is the subject of Tom O'Carroll's book Michael Jackson’s Dangerous Liaisons. Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication (drug overdose) on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest.[4]
