I personally would be mortified if there was the slightest hint of that kind of behaviour. I mean we all know they've behaved badly in the past (sex and drugs and rock 'n roll) but I don't know how I'd react to an accusation of that nature. Not that I'm suggesting for one minute that it could ever be a possibility.
Any thoughts?

I think about this also sometimes. I understand that people feel like you should be able to seperate the professional from the personal in the case of entertainers. In cases where a crime may have been committed against someone else though, I feel differently, and especially when it's against a child.
I think if something like this were to happen to a member of the Mac, most peoples reaction would be shock and disbelief, but in the case of MJ, he has been establishing a pattern of deviant behavior for quite a while now. It is for that reason that I am a little bit surprised at the blind faith of his fans.
