Child-lover molesters almost never use violence for sex, said Lanning. Instead, they groom and seduce and manipulate and use cooperation to get what they want out of the child. "I can't tell you how many cases where there are letters from the victim written to the accused, saying, 'You're the nicest person I ever met,' or 'You've been so good to me,'" said Lanning. Many victims don't tell anyone of the inappropriate behavior because they are considered "compliant child victims." "A child can't legally consent to having sex, but some of them aren't necessarily fighting him off," said Lanning. "They're developmentally immature, and later they feel ashamed and embarrassed that they cooperated in their victimization."Because victims of acquaintance exploitation usually have been carefully seduced and often do not realize they are victims, they repeatedly and voluntarily return to the offender. Society and the criminal-justice system have a difficult time understanding this. If a boy is molested by his neighbor, teacher, or clergy member, why does he "allow" it to continue? Most likely he may not initially realize he is a victim. Some victims are simply willing to trade sex for attention, affection, and gifts and do not believe they are victims. The sex itself might even be enjoyable. The offender may be treating them better than anyone has ever treated them.Most of these victims never disclose their victimization. Younger children may believe they did something "wrong" or "bad" and are afraid of getting into trouble. Older children may be more ashamed and embarrassed. Many victims not only do not disclose, but they strongly deny it happened when confronted. In one case several boys took the stand and testified concerning the high moral character of the accused molester. When the accused molester changed his plea to guilty, he admitted that the boys who testified for him were also victims.The most common reasons that victims do not disclose are stigma of homosexuality, lack of societal understanding, presence of positive feelings for the offender, embarrassment or fear over their victimization, or do not believe they are victims. Since most of the offenders are male, the stigma of homosexuality is a serious problem for male victims. Although being seduced by a male child molester does not necessarily make a boy a homosexual, the victims do not understand this. If a victim does disclose, he believes that he is risking significant ridicule by his peers and lack of acceptance by his family.
As well as all of the material 'out there' that we are all familiar with (from both sides), for me, what has always been overlooked is that Michael never hid his love and care for children. It was on display for the whole world to see even down to the brass statues around the grounds of Neverland that depicted boys and girls at play in many settings.
Hi Shy, Yes I scanned through the link you put up (thank you for that, it was a reeaaal long one, I have to read it again more carefully right now!) and indeed it IS all highly suspicious, however I would like to wait and hear what will happen in October, that's when a court hearing is scheduled if I remember it correctly.
@ Do, after reading all your posts on this topic, I have to wonder what your motive is and what point you are trying to prove. Theres no point in steady beating a dead horse kwim? We are all fans here, but it seems that some "fans" are out to continue to cause division within the MJ community. And I always wonder why. Then it seems as if its from those that don't post often or had a long vacation between the posts and then suddenly pop up again with negative comments. Anyway I know that MJ was investigated by the FBI for over 10 years. If the FBI investigates you, believe me, if you are doing wrong, they will find out. They leave no stone unturned. Its always been that way. That speaks volumes. They found nothing on him. Neither did the police during the raid. Nothing. Zilch.Also, if someone abused my kid, I wouldn't take a dime from them. I want them under the prison. Of course we all have to be realistic and think of the what if. But, there is no evidence of any abuse. Anybody could be accused of being a child molester, but without evidence, there is no proof. That's all we have to go on. I believe that MJ was innocent. I do think he should've made wiser choices though. I think he was blackballed in Hollywood by the Illuminati because he didn't want to do what they said. The more he spoke out against them, the more the accusations came in the media. Wade Robson is flat broke. He was blackballed in Hollywood once he slept with Britney Spears and broke her and J. Timberlake up and had the audacity to call Justin and tell him about it. He hasn't worked since. Hes a liar, has no character and is broke. Lets not forget that ROBSON is the one who testified and said that MJ did NOTHING to him. Nobody forced him to come to that courtroom. He voluntarily came. Think about that
