Jerry Lee Lewis married his underage cousin, but he's still considered one of the greats of early Rock & Roll. Roman Polanski drugged a 13 or 14 year old girl, had sex with her and fled the country, but he's still considered a great director. Phil Spector shot somebody, but he's still considered one of the great producers of early Rock & Roll. So, people shouldn't be shocked that MJ is being lauded as an icon, despite the freaky plastic surgery and molestation trial/accusations
Agreed.

However, with Michael, it is not like there was any definite proof to claim he did molest children. As the ones you mentioned, they have been proven of their innapropriate behaviours.
At the end of the day, some will think he did and some others (like me) will think he did not and we can all view him and form our own opinions about the man and his legacy.Michael is definitely amongst the greatest entertainers of our time. The entertainment industry has lost a pinnacle of a talented man.
