There is one thing I don't understand about this Michael Jackson case.

See, when someone comes forth and alleges that a Catholic priest abused him, usually a few other people come forth and say "me too", right? Especially if said priest has been getting away with it for a long time.

With Michael Jackson, this did not happen, either in the previous allegation, nor this one (yet).

Why would multiple allegations surface against a priest, who lives in one community for a very long time, but only isolated allegations against Michael Jackson, who meets busloads of kids at his amusement park home every week?

Am I right, or am I out "BICYCLING"?

Consider the sample selection bias here. You're talking about parents who willingly put their kids in the man's hands knowing what a freak he was.

Remember that I'm applying this standard to the allegation in the 90's as well, when this whole Neverland thing was just "quirky". Though maybe I remember the time more innocently than it really was.
