Michael Jackson
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer-songwriter and boylover. He is sometimes referred to by the nickname "King of Pop", or by his initials MJ. He began his music career as a member of the singing group known as The Jackson 5 when he was around 8 years old.
Jackson is arguably the most prominent, and perhaps the wealthiest, American boylover. His Neverland Ranch, in Santa Barbara County, California, was designed to be a place for boys; the name came from Peter Pan, of J.M. Barrie (another boylover), and was a place where boys never grew up. Neverland Ranch was a private amusement park, with two trains, one with a miniature steam locomotive, a petting zoo, a Ferris wheel, numerous other rides including a roller coaster and bumper cars, and an amusement arcade. There were no clocks, and it was never bedtime.
Jackson was lavish with the parents, some of whom must have been aware of what was happening. He would invite entire families to Neverland, provide transportation there; parents were kept busy while Jackson went off with the boy he most liked. Jackson, with whatever boy(s) were with him, slept in a separate building, surrounded by alarms to warn about someone approaching.
For years there were no complaints at all about this lifestyle, from parents or boys or anyone else. None of the Neverland staff went to the sheriff. Numerous celebrities visited, and the only one reported to have made a negative remark was Marlon Brando; Elizabeth Taylor did not.
Jackson's legal troubles began in 1993, with the case of Jordie Chandler, who at the time was 12. Jackson was arrested on charges of child abuse. The case was settled the following year, and the criminal charges dropped, after a payment of $20 million to Jordie's parents, with non-disclosure agreements on both sides.
Throughout his life, he was the target of tabloid gossip and rumor including allegations that he had sexual relationships with boys. That he had young teen boys sharing his bed is not disputed. He is the subject of Tom O'Carroll's book Michael Jackson’s Dangerous Liaisons. Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication (drug overdose) on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest.[1]
