He wasn't a pedo. He was a "weirdo" because his parents had him chemically castrated at like age 11, hence his lifelong obsession with childhood. They were afraid his voice would deepen and he wouldn't be able to continue hitting some of the high notes in some of the Jackson 5 music. It's in the book written by his former physician (who was charged with manslaughter for his role in assisting MJ's suicide), an excellent read if you have the time.
