Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate
I guess because the appeal stopped the process, enough time passed to Beckloff to have come back from the court he was temporarily transferred. So I guess in practice the new Judge did not really do anything in this case and now Beckloff is back.
As for a question above, whether the appeal won't turn Beckloff against the Estate: I would hope he is more professional than to take an appeal personally.
Good, he knows this case anyway. One thing I keep wondering is if Robson and Safechuck filed their cases hoping people in the public and the judge might look at this as being similar to the garbage that's been happening with the Catholic church, recently I've seen more people comparing all that mess with MJ, it's become easy for people to think it's the same even though it's not. This judge is smart though and already called Wade out on when he really knew he could sue the estate when he dismissed Robson's other claim. Will be very interesting to see what happens next.
That's strange. I virtually never see anyone talk about these case except for fans and haters. When people mention the allegations at all, they either mention the 1993 case or the trial in 2005.
Of course, it's not similar at all.
Victims of pedophile priests may bury their molestation deep in themselves because they usually do not know about other victims existing and they think no one would believe them. When one of them comes out that breaks the dam and that prompts a lot of others come forward. That's not what is happening here. The dam should have been broken a long, long time ago - in 1993 or in 2005. But instead these guys went on to defend MJ in public and to authorities, they went on to have family BBQs with him or being their umbrella holders or assistants at video shootings. Then, conveniently, when MJ is gone and cannot defend himself any more, and when they have a mid-life crisis and do not want to work any more, all of a sudden they realize that they were sexually abused and claim that despite of those two public rounds of allegations in 1993 and 2005 they just never before realized it was abuse or wrong. Two very public rounds of allegations were not enough for them to realize that, but the birth of their kids or seeing another guy on TV talking about a civil lawsuit he filed for money suddenly makes them to see the light, or whatever BS is claimed today, because their claims are as confusing and as contradictory as it gets. And suddenly they want "justice", of course in the form of money - but they did not want REAL justice in 2005 when they could have got the guy locked up and help out another alleged victim. It seems in MJ's cases "justice" ALWAYS, without exception, takes the form of money. (Of course, monetary compensation can indeed be the only form of justice in certain cases, but not here. Here for decades these guys had the chance to lock up the guy, because of those two very public rounds of allegations and a criminal trial in 2005 and because of DA who was very much willing to believe anyone who who wanted to claim molestation.)
And it's not about money but getting the "truth" out there, according to them, yet they wanted their complaint remain under seal citing the defendant's privacy as a reason. It's not about money but they file desperate lawsuits against companies trying to get money out of them while it was Robson's mother who begged those companies to arrange green cards for them to the US. But interestingly Robson's mother is not made responsible for anything. But it's not about money, but the "truth" - yeah, right. And in Safechuck's case, it's not about money, but he sues companies and tries to make companies responsible that did not even have anything to do with him. Meanwhile he too does not hold his own parents responsible. But companies that had nothing to do with him are. But yeah, it's not about money.
