 With Jackson’s “wacko” behavior continuing, this time showing up for court an hour and a half late in pajamas http://abcnews.go.com as his accuser tells his story, http://www.foxnews.com, http://www.foxnews.com and reports surface that his friends fear that he is seriously contemplating suicide, http://www.foxnews.com, we are fearful that parents and grandparents will think all child molesters will stand out as conspicuously as Mr. Jackson. That is obviously not the case.
Nevertheless, there are characteristics of a pedophile that may help you spot them, and Michael Jackson shares most of them. http://crime.about.com “A pedophile is generally a male over 30…with few friends in his own age group. He is often fascinated with children and child activities.” “He will often refer to children in angelic terms using descriptives like innocent, heavenly, divine, pure…He has hobbies that are child-like such as collecting popular expensive toys .” “ Often his environment or a special room will be decorated in child-like decor and will appeal to the age and sex of the child he is trying to entice.”  “He will put himself in a position to do volunteer work with children.” “The pedophile often seeks out shy, handicapped, and withdrawn children, or those who come from troubled homes or under privileged homes. He then showers them with attention, gifts, taunting them with trips to desirable places like amusement parks, zoo's, concerts, the beach and other such places.” “Pedophiles work to master their manipulative skills and often unleash them on troubled children by first becoming their friend, building the child's self esteem. They may refer to the child as special or mature, appealing to their need to be heard and understood then entice them with adult type activities that are often sexual in content such as x-rated movies or pictures. They offer them alcohol or drugs to hamper their ability to resist activities or recall events that occurred.” It is in these respects, that the Michael Jackson case is typical of pedophile behavior.
 The French trial of a pedophile ring is producing astonishing testimony rivaling that of the Michael Jackson child molestation trial on the world stage. http://www.theglobeandmail.com 66 people are accused of involvement in the rape, sexual abuse and prostitution of children — some too young to walk. A grandfather, who had previously been convicted of raping his own son, on trial for raping his own grandchildren was asked “What sort of a father and what sort of a grandfather are you?” Without hesitation, he replied: “My kids, I don't love them. I never took care of them. I didn't give a damn.”
