  • Controversy: ex-wife of Michael Jackson admits the singer's children are from a sperm donor

It was a media circus seasoned by the extravagant lifestyle of its protagonist. The image of Michael Jackson coming to hear the verdict of the jury in a black suit and tie, emaciated and surrounded by an entourage of bodyguards and relatives, went around the world. It was 15 years ago, on June 13, 2005, the day the king of pop couldn't hold back his tears when he was found not guilty of abusing a 13-year-old minor . He did not manage to dispel all doubts. Even today, a decade after his death, there is a belief that Jackson went far beyond what was allowed with the children he surrounded himself with.

Four months lasted the process that damaged the singer's image and health. Back then, the myth was paid to the painkillers and drugs that ultimately ended his life. Jackson breathed a sigh of relief but said nothing, his lawyer spoke for him: "I am crying with happiness. Thank you all! The press has been unfair and has conducted a parallel trial against Michael, but opinions I think should be limited to inside the courts ", he indicated after the acquittal of his client

Jackson was accused by Gavin Arvizo , a cancer patient at the time. Arvizo said he was 13 years old when the singer tried to abuse him. Arvizo was a Neverland regular and slept with Jackson in his room. The star himself reported this in a documentary that was one of the bases of the trial.

In it he appeared holding hands with Arvizo and told how he had slept with children for years and that there was nothing bad or sexual about it. "It is a very beautiful thing. I slept in a bed with many children when Macaulay Culkin was little : Kieran Culkin slept on this side, Macaulay on this other, his sisters there ... We have the images. I have all that material, "Jackson explained, as if nothing had happened.

Apparently he did not regret that in 1993 he had faced an accusation of alleged abuse of a minor, Jordan Chandler. On that occasion, the case did not go to trial for the boy's refusal to collaborate and after the singer had agreed to pay 23 million to settle the lawsuit . In April 2005, Ralph Chacón, a former Neverland security member, testified that he had seen Jackson performing oral sex on Chandler, in addition to seeing him passionately kissing him.

The stories in this direction have been numerous. The last documentary to shake his figure, 'Leaving Neverland' was broadcast on HBO and directed by British Dan Reed. The film focuses on Wade Robson and James Safechuck , allegedly abused by children by Jackson. They speak in a graphic way of penetrations, masturbations and oral sex, acts that the artist understood as "romantic" and not abuses that would have put him in prison for the rest of his life. That image of "pedophile disguised as a friend to trust" as they paint him is increasingly difficult to avoid when his name comes up again. Yours is already a star with an asterisk.
