Whako Jacko...

I had to work with paedophiles when I worked for the 'First Steps' project in Gosport. I was an advisor for people who found it difficult to get back into employment after prison sentences, mental health issues etc. One particular lady - no-one seems to think that paedophiles can be female too - sticks in my mind particularly. She always disputed the fact that she had been anything but saintly to the children she abused. She just couldn't see it.

I think that some of the other posts are spot on. His lawyers are powerful enough that they'll shunt him into some 'rehabilitation program' rather than jail. We'll have to wait and see.

that was one of the biggest shocks I had to deal with when I worked for the police - just how many women are involved in child abuse too. The saddest part of it is usually because they were victims themselves as children.

I think the public are becoming more aware after the Maxine Carr case but women lying for the guy is all too common. But very few get prosecuted - always it seems the guys do but not the women involved.

One that sticks in my mind is a woman who'd just had a baby by this guy. We arrested him for abuse as well as possession. And all she kept on about was getting him out on bail and home... she went to court to plead for a community sentence for him and said she would allow him to stay at home...

I tell you this, any guy I was with was arrested for those charges and I had a kid, he wouldnt be allowed anywhere near the kid after that - EVER - not even supervised. Especially as hed stepped over the line and gone from possession to actually doing something. No way. My kid would come first.

going back to the jacko thing, given all the rumours that have always surrounded him, I wonder more about the parents who would leave their kids alone with him.... agree with baldood on this... they saw an opportunity which they put above their kids well being....

Jacko is supposedly running out of money. I reckon this whole thing will be the end of him. Never liked his music, not even when he was black.

Hope he minds his fingers on the way in... It hurts like hell if you trap your fingers in a cell door

Yes, according to all the reports, he is skint and owes $150,000,000.

Dont know how that can happen but when you go spending stupid money with Martin Bashir following you with a camera, it proves he is nuts :P

I didnt particurly like his music either although everyone knows his songs.

I prefer proper Black Music, Soul, Blues and Cottonpicking songs

How ever it ends he's finished.

I agree with Moobie.. he is finished.. although I have watched some programes about him and I cant believe the devotion in some of his fans

I dont think he has released anything credible in the last few years anyway

I think he is guilty.. but like others have said, he doesnt actually see what he is doing as being wrong..

I think he will end up in the nut house
