Seriously, how good does someone's music, art, movies, etc. etc. have to be, for people to forget about their young victims?

It's just bizarre that Michael Jackson seems to still be well-regarded.

...which is not in itself a sign of guilt. Besides, he and Epstein seemed to have different categories of victims, for the most part (although there have been occasional mentions of boys, in Epstein's circles).

But it's been known for years now that Jackson had paid off families of boys as young as nine years old. Millions and millions of dollars. Victims testified, often under their own names, to his molestation of them.

This is a good article summarizing the history, around when the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland came out:
