Micky Jackson in trouble again

    We are not really discussing whether he slept in the same bed as them.

    What we are discussing is what are more than likely false accusations of anal and oral rape. So unless you have proof of this definitively you are just speculating like everyone else as you say.

    But people, a lot of people have misunderstood speculation for fact. They present it as fact that Jackson anally and orally raped children, with little to back it up. Ultimately a lot of people have been taken in by 2 shysters, Robson and Safechuck who have been shown to have lied time and time again.

    Pretty confident I wouldn't be defending a grown ass man who sleeps in the same bed as children not related to him under any circumstances.

    I don't know whether any of what the... is it 6 people now separately making allegations at different times? Anyways...

    I don't if what they are saying is true, I can't possibly know that.

    However, the weirdo set himself up for this by having a bizarre relationship with kids, including sleeping in the same bed as them.

    How do you decide when they are telling lies & telling the truth?





    His own mother calls him a liar

    But they are liars, no question.. they learnt and were coached from the only person they adored, loved and looked up to in their childhood.
    Robson as a kid on video had the exact same look and mannerism that Jackson used when he lied. The same glazed over expression, down to a T. Astonishing.

    Nest of vipers. Life with a Paedophile will truly f*** you up. If you listen to the victims of Church abuse, some have never got over it and they are in their 60s/70s now.

    This is their words. FFS, how much can you accept from admitted liars?

    For all we know Jackson could have been raping them every night or not at all.

    We simply don't know because since his death all we have is these two liars. its actually laughable at this stage. Two guys who have a long history of telling lie after lie, but people still take at face value everything they say.

    Again not really the point.

    The point is making false allegations of sexual abuse is very serious, as serious as sexual abuse itself in my opinion. Lives and careers have been ruined by it.

    Just yesterday Geoffrey Rush was cleared. But his career will never fully recover from it.

    Its just difficult to take Robson and Safechuck seriously. The other cases have been gone over on this thread. He was found innocent in 2005, so you have to give him that one. The 1993 case was paid out by the insurers without a trial. Jackson wanted to fight it but it would cost him a lot of money to do it. It was actually cheaper to pay the accuser off.

    Because you can not fake the effects of abuse. No one can.

    Add that to Jackson's history, FFS.. all of it, the fake marriages, the lies, the boys, the pay offs, the whole sordid disgusting lot of it. Years of it.

    A paedo through and through.. in bed with little boys, one after the other.. all his little friends.

    This thread is a joke.

    So many excuses for paying off someone. As you say, allegations of sexual abuse are serious.

    Surely worth the money to fight it tooth and nail.

    But I mean, there's excuses for everything if you look hard enough.

    Anyways, I'll leave ye to it. You're entrenched in defending a man who openly admitted to sleeping in the same bed as small children and has had multiple allegations of sexual abuse levelled against him, one of which he paid off instead of defending.

    I only hope if regular Jim the plumber encounters the same situation people will rally to his cause as fervently as the multi-millionaire who made a few good songs.

    Somehow I doubt it. :)

    Yeh sure, which explains all the fake allegations down through the years, including "Nick" in the UK whose allegations led to numerous people being falsely accused. Police were taken in for years by him. He's now standing trial for perverting the course of justice. There have been countless other false allegations including against celebrities and one prominent garda in Ireland. All taken seriously for a while until proven to be utter hogwash.

    Kids who have an honest account of abuse to tell should be believed.

    But anyone found to be fabricating abuse stories deserves to be put in jail. I think even you agree with that.

    People who make false accusations of abuse are as evil as abusers in my book. You only have to look at the UK. UK police spent millions and years investigating the claims of proven liars like "Nick". Meanwhile they ignored real abuse in Rochdale and Rotherdam.

    Case in the UK at moment, the person retracted the abuse claims, said she made them up.

    Her Grandfather will remain in jail because her "story" was so believable.

    Teenage girl fails to get grandfather's conviction for sexually abusing her overturned as judges rule her evidence is still believable

    What I am entrenched in doing is calling out lies. For the one millionth time, both Robson and Safechuck have been caught telling numerous porkies.

    Its got nothing to do with who the target of those lies are.

    Geoffrey Rush was also the victim of lies. Up until yesterday a lot of people thought he was guilty. I just don't like liars, call me old fashioned that way.

    And also for the one millionth time, a one sided documentary without cross examination is not the way to prove allegations true or false. Much of what they said in the documentary has already been proven to be false.

    You are naive. Very naive if you actually believe what you just said. Do some googling if you want to hear true stories of people who spent years in prison before their "victims" recanted and admitted to lying about the whole thing.

    Everyone lies. Most people lie decently. The rare few are truly talented at it. Jackson could be guilty as sin. He might not be. Regardless, If you truly believe that it's impossible to fake the effects of abuse, I've some magic beans to sell you.

    Out to prove a negative with a.. hilarious. Like I said this thread is a joke.

    I have had experience in my work with victims of abuse, and the way you address lies as a means of understanding the lack of abuse says more about your own naivety.

    Good luck with that.

    Yes I do agree with that, but not in this case.

    I agree too that the Rochdale and Rotherdam cases are quite horrendous and those kids were failed by too many agencies over a long period of time.

    Countless professionals with decades of experience were taken in by "Nick" in the UK.
    You only have to look at the mistakes Tusla have made in Ireland too.
    Going back further you had a Doctor here who falsely accused parents of abuse based on false memories extracted from children. I cannot remember the exact details of the case.
    In Rochdale and Rotherdam, countless kids were not believed by experts and professionals.

    In other words, the systems are not fail-proof and professionals have been deceived into believing allegations are true countless times and sometimes the opposite.

    Usually its in court where the truth comes out, where allegations are tested and cross checked. And thankfully some people who were given a very tough time in the media such as Geofrey Rush and William Roche were cleared in court and completely exonerated.

    How do you know that they have been lying for him. Their story was consistent until they decided that they were abused. All of a sudden years blurred with them. I'd never suggest that Jackson never abused anyone but I could never believe proven liars either

    Loads of people lie about things though. And people who lie get abused.
    They are not mutual exclusive.

    I don't see why people are so insistent on proving them as being unreliable. It only serves to protect Michael Jackson, why are people so insistent on protecting Michael Jackson when they don't know if he abused anyone or not.

    I'm afraid to even break this down. I feel like I'm dealing with a cult or something here.
    Is it not true that people who tell the truth get abused too? Or are you saying that everyone that's been abused has lied?

    Ha sorry if I came across wrong!

    I mean, people who have lied in their life can be abused and people who don't can be abused.

    People keep harping on about these guys lying about being abused in a train station that didn't exist. But we know of loads of rooms that did exist where they slept in bed with him.

    Why be so insisted on proving them to be liars as if that means they didn't get abused by him.
    Why be so protective of Michael Jackson full stop.

    I don't need to prove them liars. They are liars no matter what side of the fence you sit on. They have purgered themselves claiming that he didn't abuse them OR that he did abuse them. One way or the other they are on the record for purgery.

    I'm not protective of Jackson. I don't like his music & I thought he was a twat when he was alive. However I'm very wary of these two. One has latched onto the Jackson family for decades. It's only since Jacksons death and the ending of the gravy train that their story changed. To this day they never went to the police. They tried to sue the estate for a billion dollars. When they court threw this out they sold their story to HBO.

    There is a tiny possibility that there is some truth in their story but their lives are so full of lives I couldn't possibly condem a dead guy based on their ever changing story. I'm not saying Jackson is guilty or innocent because I don't know. I do know that if Jackson was alive their claims would be thrown out of court because a court can't tell if they are lying or not based on their passed statements.

    I'm open on this. I haven't doggedly made my mind. I am blown away at the amount of people willing to believe proven liars. People who have been proven to have purgered themselves in a court of law one way or another. I'm genuinely blown away. It's not unlike Trump supporters not believing the facts on the daily news. I truly don't understand it

    Look, I maybe got the wrong end of the stick. But even with this post you seem very, maybe angry is the wrong word... But look maybe just how I'm perceiving on a forum :) all the best anyway ha

    I condemn him anyway for sleeping with them

    Not angry. But I hate the idea of people coming out of the woodwork telling things about a dead guy who can't defend himself. The things they are saying are the totally opposite of what they said when he was alive. The totally opposite of what they swore in court. How can you believe a proven liar, one way or another?

    I dunno...

    I'm not saying I believe them about the abuse. But it doesn't particularly upset me that they have said it either.

    I don't really care what they swore in court. There could be explanations for it etc.

    I just think they were treated awful by everyone involved when they were little kids. I was shocked by how they were treated as shown in the documentary and facts accepted by everyone.

    I dunno if he touched them inappropriately, but just that the documentary showed me they were treated inappropriately.

    They were treated terribly by their own parents. Don't forget this wasn't a documentary to try discover the truth. This was a scripted tv show. These guys didn't just sit down and talk. It was scripted and there was take after take of them saying the same thing till there was enough emotion in their voice to make the director happy. They never moved from the script. They didn't want to interview other people who had a different opinion. The script was to tell this tunnel vision version of a story. It's not an unbiased story /documentary.

    This doesn't make it false but its very structure makes it very unreliable as far as facts are concerned. Netflix have a documentary not unlike this. Making of a murderer I think it is called. Watching it you are gobsmacked that they are still in prison. Take a step back and you see how biased the documentary actually is.

    Weird you speak of proof, you don't seem to require any.

    I would always support any real victims of abuse, especially child abuse.

    But I don't think these guys are victims of anything, I think it is a con that has snow balled and if anything the story is starting to unravel more than it all ready has which is quite a lot TBF.

    Oh, I know only too well trained professionals who are not professionals and should not be in the position they're in. Social workers, care professionals who leave behind such a mess, it can take years to clean up after them. In the UK there are too many to count.. years of austerity means less training and expertise in the field and I now find myself complaining about the skill set and content of the training courses, as they're often wholly inadequate and downright dangerous.

    I don't wallow in the negatives though and I am lucky to know some brilliant professionals with expertise and knowledge who care for and treat vulnerable children in very difficult environments. I also know written media stories on such issues are rarely accurately reported and come with an emotive element which send the stories off on a spin.

    But there is still no getting away from the facts: very damaged children will rarely be able to tell the truth or know exactly what has fully happened to them. False memories can often be a cover for something much worse and until you have a child in front of you, and that child is receiving consistent caring support with joined up services through well-funded agencies, you will rarely get to the bottom of the damage.. and nor will the child/adult.

    Society doesn't care about these children; it only cares about the lies.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,840 ✭✭✭hetuzozaho


    You side stepped the question a bit there.

    I'd imagine victims of abuse need the support most before it's proven.

    So by not supporting them now, but when we find out it's "real" and then supporting them it's pretty useless.

    The sleeping arrangements were nuts. My kids are adults now but I never would have allowed those arrangements even with one of my own family members nor would I have any of my nephews or nieces in my bed. This doesn't make him an abuser though. You would assume parents letting their child to share a bed in this way would be asking the child a lot of questions about it on a regular basis about it

    If they were in a court of law & they were the "victims" in the case they would be asked the same question asked here. Their past perjury would be brought up. Any lies would be brought up & you can be dam sure that the smoking gun of the abuse building not being built for two years after the abuse had stopped would have been brought up.


    Can you point to anything in the thread that the defense wouldn't bring up trying to get to the truth?

    You would assume parents letting their child to share a bed in this way would be asking the child a lot of questions about it on a regular basis about it

    Questions that would get no results because the child wouldn’t want to get in any trouble so would deny/not admit to anything, in the case of successful grooming, which makes the child feel they are party to the activity.

    If any of my relatives wanted to sleep with my kids my number one concern would be the adults motivation. Why, oh why would they go out of their way to sleep with just boys, of a certain age.

    You do realise you aren’t on the defense team, right.




    Liars stories need to be pulled apart to find the truth. It's one of the downsides to being a liar. We can't take their word for anything because their word means ****

    In a pub last night and someone asked the DJ to turn off Michael Jackson and when he did there was a cheer.

    Hes done. His legacy is ruined.

    Thats what happens when you fiddle kids I suppose.

    While I'm delighted that the awful noise Jackson was silenced last night I'd be concerned about the reasons why. Pandering to the permanently offended isn't the best way forward

    And yet you seem very comfortable in the role of prosecution.

    Oh the irony!

    The sleeping arrangements were nuts. My kids are adults now but I never would have allowed those arrangements even with one of my own family members nor would I have any of my nephews or nieces in my bed.

    Yep that's the thing for me, the children were treated horribly.

    Like if I left my children walk the streets every night surely I'd be in some kid of trouble with authorities. Letting them sleep with alone with an adult in his locked and alarmed bedroom or in hotel rooms with him. Good god why don't we have a law that says this is child abuse :)

    Considering people’s stories of abuse as possibly valid is not quite the same as pretending to be on the prosecution.

    Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy being part of the angry mob, I’m not continuing to give you an opportunity to spout your nonsense any longer.

    Your posts suggest that you are prosecution, judge and jury. The only role you haven't been playing is defence.

    I didn't even know Michael Jackson was a footballer.
