Unmasked (81-120)

Summary
In the pages 81-120, The author himself tried to find some of Michael Jackson's "special friends." (His special friends were the little kids he used to hang out with). Every single friend the author found didn't want to go on camera and defend Michael. But one guy named Joseph, who was in his thirties agreed to defend him under the conditions that he was under a disguise. He told them that Michael never did anything to hurt him. There were no incidents that led to Michael putting his hands in places where they were not suppose to be in. They also had many other cases with other children including girls that they believe that Michael molested. For instances a girl named Mandy Porter, she then told the judge and jury that Michael Jackson did not touch her in a bad way or do anything that would make her feel uncomfortable.

Quotation
Ian Halperin said, "And while Jackson may fit into only a handful of those categories, experts in pedophile also identify the ways child molestation lure children into their world" (Halperin 85).

Reaction
There was a list set into the book about what people characterize child molesters as, they then said that Michael Jackson fit into a handful of these categories. That maybe true but that doesn't necessarily mean that he was molesting children. For example one of the categories were Usually married and hard-working, employed with-in a wide range of occupations, Volunteers in youth organizations. There are a lot of people who have or do these types of things so i do not think its fair that they give such a list like this and say that just because Michael Jackson falls in some of these categories that he molested children.
