Jackson: It's OK to Sleep With Children

NEW YORK - Michael Jackson (news) told CBS' "60 Minutes" that he still believes it's acceptable to sleep with children and that he would "slit my wrists" before he would hurt a child.


Jackson, arrested Nov. 20 on suspicion of child molestation, denied the charges against him during an interview with Ed Bradley conducted Christmas night and set to air Sunday. CBS released a portion of the interview on Friday.


Jackson, 45, is charged with seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent. He remains free on $3 million bail.


Asked by Bradley if it was still OK to sleep with children given the charges against him, Jackson answered, "Of course."


"Why not?" he said. "If you're going to be a pedophile, if you're going to be Jack the Ripper, if you're going to be a murderer, it's not a good idea. That I am not."


"Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists," Jackson also said.


CBS confirmed comments about the alleged victim that Jackson's attorney, Mark Geragos, said his client made during the interview: "I didn't sleep in bed with the child. Even if I did it's OK. I slept on the floor. I give the bed to the child."


The pop singer, interviewed in a Los Angeles hotel room, said the police search of his Neverland Ranch in California had been overdone and so violated his privacy that it will never be the same for him.


"I won't live there ever again," he said. "It's a house now. It's not a home anymore. I'll only visit."


Meanwhile on Friday, CBS also announced that it had rescheduled a Jackson music special that had been abruptly postponed last month after the molestation charges surfaced. The special will air on Friday, Jan. 2.


The interview was a coup for "60 Minutes," which has been enjoying a ratings renaissance the past few months in its final year under the direction of founding executive producer Don Hewitt.


Bradley had been pursuing an interview with Jackson even before the molestation charges. The CBS newsman traveled to Neverland last February for an interview, but Jackson got cold feet and canceled it at the last minute.


The existence of the musical special, which had been scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving and was largely complete before being postponed, was an unusual factor in landing a widely sought interview.


CBS would not have rescheduled the entertainment special if Jackson hadn't addressed the molestation charges with the network's news division, CBS entertainment spokesman Chris Ender said.


The criminal case won't be discussed during the special, "Michael Jackson Number Ones." The special was to include Jackson performance footage, but that filming wasn't completed before November's postponement. The special also includes interviews with Dick Clark, Beyonce Knowles (news), Mary J. Blige (news) and others about Jackson's impact on pop culture.


Bob Steele, an expert on newsroom ethics, said news organizations should maintain independence and conduct interviews on their news value alone.


"If CBS was creating a deal in any way for a news interview with Jackson that is dependent on the entertainment special or vice versa, that certainly seems to compromise journalistic independence," said Steele, a scholar for journalist values at the Poynter Institute.


Kevin Tedesco, "60 Minutes" spokesman, said he couldn't imagine any news organization that would not pursue an interview with Jackson.

"It's a big story," he said.

His musical career may have faded, but Jackson is still a big television draw, if only because of the curiosity factor. His last television interview, with British journalist Martin Bashir, was seen by 27 million people on ABC last February.

Riddle of 3rd Jacko bride
By WILL BARKER

MICHAEL Jackson has secretly married for the THIRD time according to pals.


The singer is said to have wed a stunning 23-year-old Muslim beauty in the summer.

Known only as Alisha, she is a brilliant pianist with an IQ of 154, according to reports in US magazine The Globe.

If true, that would put his bride in the top tenth of a per cent of the population - more intelligent than the average university professor.

Jacko, 45, is facing charges of molesting a 12-year-old boy after allegedly plying him with wine and pills.

A source told The Globe: ?If these charges go before a jury, Michael knows that having a wife and family will help him.

?One of his problems is that people think of him as being weird and wacko.

?They automatically accept derogatory stories about him as being true.

?But if he can show that he really has a wife and family, like other guys, jury members are more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt.?

Have this story about Jackson's marriage been confirmed by any credible news sources?

Rope + Pitchforks + torches + Jacko + oak tree = Fun

No.

It's just a plain stupid thing to do! You don't sleep with children and think the parents won't try to sue you!

" Michael Jackson told "60 Minutes" that he still believes it's acceptable to sleep with children and that he would "slit my wrists" before he would hurt a child.

:thumbsup

Simply sick :disgust

What a fucking nut ball

One has to wonder WTF the parents where thinking. I believe that the parents knew something might happen and now its pay day.

I say give him the chair

yea. pay day.

Pay day... my thoughts exactly. It's allllll about the $.

If I had children, I'd just sell them to Michael Jackson to save time.

"I would slit my wrists before I would hurt a child . . . but having a child suck my cock isn't hurting him, it's the most loving, sharing thing you could do."

The man is disturb that's all there is to it...

Farthers sleep with their daughters/sons, Mothers with sons/daughters - Please advise what the difference is here ?

I guess he's not a "Smooth Criminal"

I wonder if he'll "beat it" in prison

Perhaps now is a good time to look at the "Man in the Mirror"

Instead of a cellmate that wants to "Rock with You"

that "Don't Stop" until he gets enough of MJ's ass, he

should have fucked "Dirty Diana"

naw lets do it the old fasion way... head choped off :)

haha :1orglaugh

I kind of agree. As long as he is not doing anything sexually with the kids then there is no real problem. But he has been naive to think that what has transpired would not eventually happen (again)..:glugglug

Either you are stupit, on crack, or both. I would tell you what the difference is, but I don't think you would understand.
