I remember seeing the video of it when it originally came out and it was some weird shit. His bodyguard said it wasn’t a closet and was instead a panic room. They had people that would parachute into the ranch and security would tell him to hide in there. He put things in there that brought him comfort and uhh… whatever else.

He always struck me as a troubled dude that was shaped by being a child star. It was like his escape hatch was to revert back to a child-like state and thus his closest friends… were mostly children. I was pretty split on that whole thing because I was such a fan as a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s. Insanely disgusted by it, but also saddened because he was a product of a toxic environment that we’ve seen time and time again is not a good place for children.

It's been a long time since I've researched anything on MJ, but I vaguely remember reading that they found the fingerprints of both MJ and some kid on porn mags that he had. Showing porn to kids is one of the main methods of grooming that child predators use, though I don't recall if they were adult magazines or CP magazines - not that either option would be good, really.

Edit: So after looking at this article on the fingerprints and this one on the CP they found, the story is a bit more complicated than that.

Do keep in mind that this blog is obviously very biased in favor of MJ, trying to downplay the fact that he kept magazines with nude photos of children, and speculating about what "real grooming" would look like and why MJs actions supposedly don't match what the author personally thinks a real attempt at grooming should be like.

If anyone wants to abide by the interpretations of this blog specifically be my guest, but I sure as hell still wouldn't let my kids near MJ.
