Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate
^ I am not talking about their capability of understanding what they were doing. They did, of course. But legally they were kids. I don't know how it is in the US but in my country children are not punishable the same way as adults are. Of course, if they do very bad things, like killing, then they can be put in a juvenile prison or whatever, but I think legally probably it would be very problematic to send someone to jail as an adult for lying when he was a child and while he was under his parents' influence and care.
Jordan, Gavin and Jason all understood what they were doing, of course, but they were acting under their parents' and other adults' instructions. Jordan would not have done it without Evan. Jason would not have done it on his own without the prosecution's manipulation and his mother's greed. Even Gavin, no matter how rotten, would not have done it without Janet's and her lawyers' instructions. This is not to excuse them. I am the last person to do that. They are of course responsible for going along and especially for not setting the record straight at least now when they are adults. But here we are talking about possible legal action and punishability. I can't see any such bill having any chance. That situation is way too problematic to legally put the blame on the child in the hindsight while he is an adult.
