How do we know that MJ was a child molester? It’s many things.
But lately I’ve been honing in on the way MJ talks about children: He really does not understand children and glorifies them way beyond what’s warranted, in ways you’d only hear adults talk about someone they are in love with or physically attracted to.
There are too many examples to go through. But at least twice he’s gone as far as to say that life has no meaning without kids and that he’d die without them, they’re the key to “healing the world”, they’re the “face of God”, the source of all inspiration for his songs, etc.
Mind you, this isn’t in reference to his own children but just children at large.
Conversely, he’s never ever talked about women (or men) in such romantic or absolute terms. There’s no interview where he talks about any adult(s) with the level of passion and genuine excitement as when he talks about kids. Not even the women he married got anything near that kind of admiration as he repeatedly gave children.
Think of the letters he wrote to kids, the voice memos he left them, video messages he recorded for them.
Then there’s all the many images of children that he surrounded himself with at all times: Predominantly at Neverland, but also everywhere he would travel, he would hang images of young children and babies on the walls and have things like children’s clothing catalogues and baby dolls lying around.
Anyone who knows anything about sexuality knows that, especially for men, there’s a highly visual aspect to sexuality.
