[DaveinJapan]

Wow.

http://awkwardstar.wordpress.com/2009/06/27/jordan-chandler-admits-he-lied-about-michael-jackson

***Under the influence of a controversial father (Jordan Chandler) told his son to tell that Jackson had touched his penis.Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer’s genitals.

” Now for the first time i can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all was my father lies to escape from being poor.”***

1. How is this an even remotely credible source?

[jobycom]

2. Not a reliable link, though I'm sure if this is true everyone will pick it up.

[Hutzpa]

3. If this is truth,

it gets interesting from here on out....


:popcorn:

[BlooInBloo]

4. Too hard to tell what's plausible about the whole thing anymore. :(

[Th1onein]

7. It's not too late for people here to accuse him of being a child molester, though, is it?

n/t

[tekisui]

13. Or, just remind others that he was accused of being a child molester,

by multiple children.

[BlooInBloo]

19. Yep. That's mostly so they can feel superior to any they deem not "tough" on molestation.

[TahitiNut]

33. Whomever clutches the largest string of pearls wins.

:dunce:

[bluedeminredstate]

5. They weren't poor.

The father was a doctor or oral surgeon, IIRC.

Plus this post confuses the name of the father and son in the case.

[Duer 157099]

9. Some of the poorest people appear to be rich

They overspend. They get sued (apparently he wasn't the best dentist around). They're greedy. Etc.

Go read this, then come back and tell what you think:

25. He was a dentist, he was greedy, and he had debts.

http://www.buttonmonkey.com/misc/maryfischer.html

and if that link is not good enough, someone is on the case getting the original article from a different source. I'll link to that asap.

28. No, Jordan's middle name is Evan. n/t

[malaise]

6. There were several people who pointed this out before

He might have said it while MJ was alive.

[customerserviceguy]

8. Here's the problem I have with MJ's behavior after the '93 trial

Ok, let's say he was framed on this circumstance, and he managed to get out of it for a relatively few dollars and a load of embarassment. Why not shut down Neverland at that point?

Surely, he had lawyers and shrinks telling him not to behave that way any more, but he couldn't stop himself, because he just HAD to be around all those little boys...

[Duer 157099]

12. Maybe he didn't have a guilty conscience? n/t

[customerserviceguy]

37. Hey, even if I wasn't speeding

down the streets of a town where some cop gave me a ticket, and I managed to beat the ticket, I'd do everything I could to avoid driving through that place again.

Running the juvenile equivalent of the Playboy Mansion after just dodging a bullet is not smart, he certainly had wise advise to shut it all down. He was stupid to put it up in the first place, he was inviting people who were stupid enough to take a chance on offering their children up as living sacrifices to the King of Pop, just for a chance at "Courtroom Lottery".

[ContinentalOp]

38. You seem to be operating under the illusion that this was a sane, rational guy. -nt-

[customerserviceguy]

40. I'm operating under the assumption

that he had sane, rational advisors.

Well, Elvis was able to pay enough money to find multiple doctors to supply him with the drugs he needed to kill himself, I suspect the same thing happened here. You can always fire the sane and rational people, and replace them with those who coo in your ear exactly what you want to hear, I guess...

[Tangerine LaBamba]

10. Strange, and proably bogus -

the links go back to a Jacko fan site.

Not terribly impressive.

Besides, $22,000,000 is a hell of a lot for an innocent man to pay, don't you think?

Plus, this - http://www.thesmokinggun.com/michaeljackson/010605jacksonsplotch.html - pretty much sealed the deal............

[Mike Daniels]

42. The settlement is always going to taint any claims of innocence

I can understand paying off someone in some instances just to make things go away.

But given the stigma that even just the charge of child molestation carries against the accused I can't imagine not doing what I had to in order to be completely cleared of the accusation.

Would a court case to prove his innocence really have cost more (in terms of money and Jackson's reputation) than settling for the amount that Jackson paid out?

I wonder if he ever regretted not taking the first case to court for all the "good" settling it out of court did him in the end.

[MADem]

11. What a joke--"Bare to lie?" This idiot had better stand by for a lawsuit!

The two little question marks after the title are an asscovering technique. Likely won't fly if Chandler decides to go after that guy. I suspect someone with a 20M nest egg can afford to strip this publicity seeker on a free Wordpress blog of every dime he has.

Making shit up has consequences.

[NashVegas]

14. No Source On This Story. Repeat: There Is NO REFERENCED SOURCE OF ORIGINATING REPORT

This article in link

http://awkwardstar.wordpress.com/2009/06/27/jordan-chandler-admits-he-lied-about-michael-jackson/

sources this web page:

http://trashselector.com/evan-chandler-i-lied-for-my-father-im-sorry-michael/

which sources this blog:

http://kingofpopmichael.info/

Which has nothing to say about the case, other than naming the kid.

[CatWoman]

16. would it matter if Bat Boy said it?

[NashVegas]

17. It Would Have Total Credibility If Batboy Said It

:P

[WeDidIt]

15. Credible source, please

This is not a credible source. This is like saying a story from the Globe is real.

This is BatBoy shit.

[Moondog]

18. Revisionism, it seems, is not limited to the world of politics.

[Hutzpa]

22. Now you know,

it came from the entertainment industry and spilled into politics.

I would like to hear the boy himself though.....

[LisaL]

20. As has already been pointed out-there is no credible source.

[Simplyaverage]

21. At least once, the allegations weren't true

The last trial was about a welfare-fraud woman pretending that her son had been molested by Michael. No wonder the whole jury saw him innocent.

[LAGC]

23. What I don't understand is...

"the boy gave detailed description of Jackson’s genitals"

If Michael Jackson was able to prove the kid's description was false, why did he still settle?

[TorchTheWitch]

39. because it wasn't false

Chandler gave a detailed description of the appearance of Jackson's genitals including drawings that were sealed in an envelope and dated with a postage meter to show the drawings were made before Jackson had his genitals photographed (by court order)... Chandler's drawings and description matched the photos. It was then that Jackson settled for the 20+ million.

[timeforpeace]

24. Why now? His father didn't die. Michael did. Doesn't make sense.

[tabatha]

26. Here is a debunking:

http://blog.vpjayant.com/?p=21

It’s amazing what people will believe if it’s written down somewhere. Today, a fake article was published, which stated that Jordan Chandler had confessed to having lied in court 16 years ago, where he accused Michael Jackson of molesting him. This comes shortly after the death of Michael Jackson, and was a clear attempt to cash in on everyone’s anger over the death of the King of Pop.

This “article” quickly spread through the Internet, especially over Twitter, where it spent a considerable amount of time in the trending topics.

A surprising number of people believed the article without question, despite the fact that it was on a new wordpress.com blog, with no history of accuracy and no sources. On top of this, the article was inaccurate and poorly written.

Here is the article in question, with some corrections:

After the sudden death of Michael Jackson, Evan Jordan Chandler tells the truth.

In 1993, Chandler told a psychiatrist and police that he and Jackson had engaged in sexual acts that included oral sex, the boy gave detailed description of Jackson’s genitals. The case was settled out of court for a reported $22 million, but the strain led Jackson to begin taking painkillers. Eventually he became addicted.

Now, maybe for the out of remorse of for his death, Chandler decides to tell us the truth. ” I never meant to lie and destroy Michael Jackson but my father made me to tell only lies. Now i can’t tell Michael how much i’m sorry and if he will forgive me ”. Evan Chandler was tape-recorded saying amongst other things, “If I go through with this, I win big-time. There’s no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever…

Under the influence of a controversial father (Jordan Evan Chandler) told his son to tell say that Jackson had touched his penis.< >Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer’s genitals.
” Now for the first time i can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all was my father lies to escape from being poor.”

Since the “article” was published, not a single respectable (or even disrespectable) news source has said anything remotely similar to what was said here.

[Hutzpa]

27. And its amazing to see how

people can put a blog together creating a narrative that is formed from an
individuals' opinion.

[adamuu]

30. thanks. n/t

[spoony]

32. Ah, more Twitter-propelled bullshit

Figures.

[lildreamer316]

29. I want to believe this, but the source really is not credible (yet); & he'd be sued probably if true

He's living pretty well of the money he got I think..I bet he'd be sued in a NY min. by the Jackson family if he admitted this. Dunno for sure, though.

[RainDog]

31. more lies

the child abuse was reported to police because the kid went to a psychiatrist and by law the psychiatrist was required to report suspected abuse.

so, if the kid's dad put him up to it, that's sort of interesting to know, huh? because the father DIDN'T KNOW that the law required the doctor to reported suspected abuse.

[Catherine Vincent]

34. How old would this kid be now?

If this is true, he should make his statement at a more credible source.

[LAGC]

36. Well, he was 13 in 1993 when he was allegedly molested...

So that would make him 29 now.

It would be interesting if he really did come out with the truth about what really happened, now that he's an adult and free from his parents' influences one way or another.

[UTUSN]

35. So have daddy and son run through the moohlah already?!1 n/t
