It may be controversial, and I could be wrong, but I think MJ was so mind fucked that he never mentally went through puberty.  I still remember seeing that interview where he answered every question wrong and with a straight face.  Yes, ok to sleep next to an adult overnight, yes to it all and it was like he did not even consider that something could be wrong. He created his amusement park to live like a child's dream... Now, I could be wrong, and I'm not saying I would have trusted him with a child, but I actually think he was mentally asexual.    Now, if it gets proven, all the ingredients were there, I'm just not so sure he had any actual malice, more of a victim than anything, just my nonprofessional opinion.
