First off, I want to say that I really really believe MJ didn't do it. I really do. MJ was incredibly weird and sometimes batshit insane, but he was a nice guy and I don't think he would do something to harm kids.
But of course, that is just me, and we will never know 100%. Still, looking at the way things went down, and the way the Chandlers handled the supposed molestation of their son, I can't help but question their intentions, especially with regard to Jordan Chandler's father, Evan Chandler.
In 1992, then 13 year old Jordan Chandler and MJ became friends, much to Evan Chandler's disapproval. MJ and Jordan were so close that Evan became admittedly jealous, and relations between MJ and Evan soon deteriorated when Evan asked Michael "Are you trying to have sex with my son?" In 1993, Evan Chandler was caught on tape saying
"There was no reason why he [Jackson] had to stop calling me...I picked the nastiest son of a bitch I could find [Evan Chandler's lawyer, Barry Rothman], all he wants to do is get this out in the public as fast as he can, as big as he can and humiliate as many people as he can. He's nasty, he's mean, he's smart and he's hungry for publicity. Everything's going to a certain plan that isn't just mine. Once I make that phone call, this guy is going to destroy everybody in sight in any devious, nasty, cruel way that he can do it. I've given him full authority to do that. Jackson is an evil guy, he is worse than that and I have the evidence to prove it. If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever...Michael's career will be over."
In the same conversation, when Evan was asked how he thinks this would affect Jordan, he said
"That's irrelevant to me...It will be a massacre if I don't get what I want. It's going to be bigger than all us put together...This man [Jackson] is going to be humiliated beyond belief...He will not sell one more record"
You can really see the evil intent this guy Evan Chandler had. He didn't even seem to care that much about his own child Jordan.
In August of 1993, Evan Chandler, being a dentist, extracted a tooth from his son's mouth. During the procedure, Jordan claimed that MJ had touched his penis. During the procedure, Jordan was under the influence of Amytal Na, a mind-altering sedative now discredited by modern medicine, that "coincidentally" makes people incredibly susceptible to suggestions.
Over the next couple of months, Evan Chandler tried to get an out of court settlement for 20 million. It is important to note that Evan went straight for a financial settlement first. He threatened to take things to court only if MJ refused to pay.
MJ himself refused to pay a dime, saying "No way in hell." This would be my initial reaction too if I was innocent.
A few weeks later, MJ's legal team, not MJ decided to give Chandler 1 million dollars. Chandler refused the money, then lowered his initial request to 15 million. Is this really a father who's child had just been molested? If I were in his shoes and MJ just molested my kid, I'd make sure MJ stayed in jail for the rest of his life. Anyways, MJ refused to pay the money again, and he even lowered the original offering from his legal team to a mere $350,000.
Seeing that MJ wasn't a bitch, Evan finally decided to take things to court. Evan then took Jordan to see a psychiatrist called Dr. Mathis Abrams, and during the three-hour session with the doctor, Jordan said he had had a sexual relationship with Jackson that included incidents of kissing, masturbation and oral sex that went on for months. He then repeated these allegations to police and gave a detailed description of what he alleged was MJ's penis.
On August 18th, the LAPD started an investigation of MJ. That very same day, Jordan's mother said she did not believe that Jordan had been molested by MJ.
The police questioned 30 children who were close to Jackson, and not one of them claimed to have been molested. The investigation did not produce any evidence, and neither did subsequent investigations.
An investigation into Evan Chandler did not produce much either, except for the fact that he was over $68,000 behind in child support despite the fact that he was a well-paid dentist.
La Toya Jackson, MJ's own sister, claimed that MJ was a pedophile, and that she had evidence that could prove it, but that she would only disclose said evidence for $500,000. His own sister man. His own fucking sister. How despicable. Of course she later retracted her claim when her entire family disowned her, and she blamed her husband for forcing her to tell the lie for financial gain. See a pattern here? Money, money, money, money.
You'd think Michael Jackson, the "heartless pedo" that he is would pretty much cut all ties to La Toya Jackson right?
WRONG. MICHAEL JACKSON FORGAVE LA TOYA. BECAUSE HE IS THAT FUCKING COOL. He really was a nice guy.
