Re: Wade Robson files claim of childhood sexual abuse against MJ-Estate
I'm just reading up on everything. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and thought perhaps a shrink had brainwashed him into believing false memories after his mental breakdown, but now I'm convinced he's doing this for money. I can't believe anyone would sink this low. It's so obvious that he's trying to garner sympathy by talking about how his behaviour is typical for an abuse victim. Of course, I know that he's lying but I'm trying to imagine how a neutral person would respond to this. It sounds pretty reasonable if you don't know the details. That's what's scary. This isn't like the Arviso case with claims so outrageous you can't do anything but laugh at them. He even brings in his son, which always does well with the public.
If this goes to trial, he will have to answer the following questions, though:
1) Why did he not come forward in 2003-2005 to say that MJ abused him? Wade was in his mid-20s at this time, old enough to know he would not go to jail if he admitted that he was abused as a child. This was his chance to put Michael behind bars for a long time, yet he chose to defend Michael vehemently instead.
2) Why was Michael adamant to have Wade as a witness in a child molestation trial if he really did abuse him for 7 years, knowing Wade was going to be interrogated about this very topic? Why would Michael voluntarily take such a risk? Remember, Wade's friend claimed Michael "begged" Wade to testify back in 2003-2005.
3) If MJ called Wade daily to practice role-playing, how did this raise no suspicion with Wade's mother (and other family members) and with the FBI, who was investigating MJ at this time?
4) If Wade does not care about money or fame, why is he filing a creditor's claim and why is he going on tabloid TV shows to tell "his truth"?
5) Does Wade really expect people to believe that he only now realises, when he's in his mid-20s, that an adult having sex with a child is wrong, especially considering the fact that Wade was asked questions about this throughout his life and testified about it in a criminal trial? He didn't realise this last year when he was still gushing about Michael in interviews? REALLY?
Things just don't add up.
