MICHAEL JACKSON AND JERRY SANDUSKY: TWO PEAS IN THE SAME POD

Michael Jackson admitted that he slept in the same bed with young boys. Although he admitted touching them, he denied having any sexual relations with his young bed partners. Jackson said he liked young boys but denied being a pedophile.

Monday night, on NBC’s new TV program, ‘Rock Center’, sportscaster Bob Costas interviewed Jerry Sandusky by telephone. Sandusky admitted that he showered together with young boys. Although he admitted touching them, he denied having any sexual relations with his young shower mates. Sandusky said he liked young boys but denied being a pedophile.

The only difference between Michael Jackson and Jerry Sandusky is that Jackson took his victims to bed while Sandusky took them to a shower. That makes Jackson and Sandusky two peas in the same pod.

Fortunately for Jackson, no one witnessed him raping young boys in the privacy of his bedroom. Unfortunately for Sandusky, at least two witnesses, a janitor and Mike McQueary observed him raping young boys in the Penn State football facility’s showers.

In Jackson’s case, only his victims were able to testify against him. That boiled down to he said, he said. In Sandusky’s case, there will be at least two outside witnesses, in addition to his victims, that will be able to testify against him.
