Oh, no, it was years before that – that when he started to go public about having kids in his bed. I remember people making jokes at the office "I'd let him molest me for 10 million!" (Yea, they were serious, but it is still a sick joke.) I think it was common rumor by around 1988 and that was the amount of money that he was rumored to pay the family. (Would be about 20 mill in today's dollars.)
The dad of one of the alleged victims killed himself a few years ago: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20320738,00.html
About some of the 24 suspected boys and their families that were paid off: http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00061749.html

To be fair the 24 suspected boys bit turned out to be BS. I believe even Diane Diamond, who's a reporter who hates Michael Jackson and has tried to pin him on these charges since the 90s has called BS on it.
He paid off one family in 1993. That boy I believe shunned his parents, specifically his father. The father killed himself a few years ago.
Jackson fans point to that as the kid being coerced into his parents to make up allegations to get money, but who knows.

To be fair, he paid off a number of kids familes, not just one. And I think he could of molested kids, cook and eat them, infront of many Jackson fans and they would make up excuses for him.
If you can stomach it, read the transcript from the kid that got him charged.
I feel really bad for how so many of those kids were treated by the fans.

I'd have to see a source on that, because officially it was only in '93 that he paid off anyone from what I've read and as what presented in the 2005 trial.
I'm not saying he was or wasn't guilty, I just would like to see facts.

Yea, well, I think I have giving you enough information. I confidant that you can research this issue on your own yourself just fine, and feel like your mind is made up and you just want to argue about it and deny things for some reason.
He openly admits to having strangers kids sleep in his bed, his own sister (while granted she is nutty) said he is a child molester – and recently kids that are now adults have come out saying that what did they now realize was wrong. And people are attacking those victims. It really disgust me how people treat the victim cause they don’t want have that doubt that they are right about it.
Read the transcripts, it will change how you see him. It shows him as a sneaky and manipulative person who will say to a child, “Well xxx does this for me, you must not love me as much as they do.” Get them drunk on wine, and other vile things to have sexual relations with them.
If you read through, I doubt you will ever be able to see him in the same way.
Here is a bunch more info, but not all the transcripts I was looking for: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/inside-michael-jackson-grand-jury
