Hey guys! Great to be back!
Im on holidays atm, Uni is crazy and fun and awesome. But i thought i would share something i did for a Thesis before the term break. As some of you may or may not know, i am doing a course in Psychology. Last term we did Psychological profiling, probably the most interesting part of the course to date. Being an MJ fan and being a lover of the truth, i needed to profile Michael, obviously the evidence isn't fantastic either way, so i decided to have a look into it... here are my findings in layman's terms.
NOTE: If you dont like this kind of topic, dont read it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Many people have a very black and white view of what a "pedophile" is, most people think it's that creepy neighbor that collects boats, or that weird fella that hangs at the playground. However, like all criminality, it is far more complex than that.
Michael Jackson lead an extraordinary life, some might say he can't be profiled because his background and life was so unique. The reason this is a false claim is because the brain is like a a glass, filled with a reactive substance. A normal guy like me might have a normal clear glass, Michael might have a colorful glass with inbuilt LED's, however the glass itself has no impact on the chemical reaction. So it is with this reasoning that i believe that it is very possible to use what we know to give an indicator into Michael's psychology.
There are a few different types of Pedophilia, all with their own characteristics and background traits.
The first group is known as "Situational Offenders", these are broken up into the following:
Regressed Pedophiles: These are "stress" offenders, they generally have a wife and kids. Have had a consistent sexual orientation all their life, usually lives in a stable household with a good job. However they don't deal with stress well, they generally use drugs or alcohol to help with their every day stressors, but when things get a little too stressful... they turn to children as an outlet. These people usually have low self esteem and will generally return to their normal sexual orientation once stress has subsided.
Morally In-discriminate Pedophiles: These are general all round abusers, not just of children, but women as well. They will experiment with anyone who seems weaker and unable to defend themselves. They generally try sadistic and violent practices with their victims and will involve anyone that they can get their hands on... including partners, siblings and even their own kids. These people are the worst kind of people, they have no remorse and are very clever.
Naive Pedophiles: These offenders usually suffer from some kind of mental illness that inhibits their ability to distinguish right from wrong in SOME cases. They have a reputation for being bizarre or strange. They are generally loners, this is because they struggle with establishing connections with other people and usually cannot fit in with most adult recreation. Their sexual exploits with children doesnt enter any kind of penetration and stays with in the bounds of fondling and general molestation. They prefer children due to their easier nature and lack of judgement, they find it hard to deal with adults.
The second group are what's known as Preferential offenders, they have two catagories:
Mysoped Pedophiles: These offenders have no love for children, they generally have no connection to their victims and usually spend time stalking the child. Once they choose to make their move, they will try befriending and then seduction, if that doesnt work then they will generally abduct the child by force. They premeditate and methodically plan each attack and will always kill their victims after they have raped them. Can return to the scene for a "repeat" or "re-imagining".
Fixated Pedophiles: These offenders have little or no sexual activity with people their own age. They are usually considered immature and are uncomfortable around adults. These offenders are very childlike in the way they act and live and has a deep "love" for children and will spend time building a relationship with a child over a long period of time by buying them gifts etc. Oral sex is the norm and is only followed by penetrative sex if the "bond" has been formed for long enough.
So reading through cases of such offenders, Michael could fit in one of two categories:
Either
A. Naive Pedophile or
B. Fixated Pedophile
Although this process was uncomfortable, i needed to think about every case Michael was accused in, look at all the evidence presented by the alleged victims and try and get a sense on what profile he COULD be. Note, at this point i had to remind myself to not block anything out as it could affect the results of my thesis.
In my estimates, due to no victim suggesting any kind of penetrative sex and also due to Michael's Hetero-sexual porn collection. I had to settle with Naive Pedophile as the most likely candidate. Now was the moment i anticipated and dreaded at the same time, i had to ask myself to look at all the evidence and decide whether or not MJ was a pedophile, using the techniques i have learned.
I assumed that all evidence submitted in the 05 trial was true and went with that as a basis for his alleged actions. I then looked into his past to try and get an idea of the kind of child he was.
As i looked through the evidence, the answer to my question became very clear.
A Naive Pedophile was SEXUALLY abused as a child (usually by another offender of the same category). As far as we know, Michael was NOT sexually abused.
Naive Pedophile's ALWAYS collect totems or "evidence" of their crimes and keep them in the same location, no matter what the circumstance. NO such evidence has been found.
Naive Pedophile's show abnormal psychological development as a child. This was NOT the case for Michael Jackson.
And the best evidence of the lot was, quite simply that these offenders would NOT allow any kind of contact in the presence of adults as they UNDERSTAND the taboo nature of their crime. This, again was NOT the case of Michael Jackson.
In fact, Michael's interviews that has destroyed him in the eyes of so many people... have actually vindicated him on this issue. Because even if my initial profile was wrong... NO Pedophile, of ANY category would EVER go on camera with their victim and ALLOW them to speak on their own behalf, let alone say that they slept in the same room or even HOLD HANDS on camera! Pedophile's are too smart for that and Michael's actions showed a blatant disregard for wrongdoings that no Pedophile would risk.
So my conclusion was simple, Michael could NOT have been a Pedophile. Even with the lack of direct evidence, the openness about his relationships with children prove that his mind was in fact, not in a heinous place at all.
Michael Jackson was NOT a Naive Pedophile... i simply think he was Naive full stop. He had a good heart, but he was Naive to think that people would take anything he said on board at all... it's a sad, sad truth to one of the greatest people who ever walked this earth.
