Although it cannot be denied the timing is suspect, I believe him.
I respect if others don't. Sexual abuse however does not come with a hand book. It often gets buried, hidden and comes out at times, and in ways, even the victim can't control. Common sense seems to get thrown out the window whenever Jackson allegations arise. Those who believe victims should be silent when a perpetrator has died are simply wrong, and frankly uneducated on the issue. Hitler....slave owners...the 911 bombers... recently, one of the Boston bombers. They are now all dead. The fall out, the pain and healing however, continues. Speaking, (although not necessary with Matt Lauer) is really to only way to ensure that can happen.

I think that he is a liar and is looking for money. I wasn't a fan of Michael Jackson, but enough is enough. To me, none of the allegations rang true, and the people seemed suspect. Michael Jackson's mistake was paying the first group. Thinking the 'people' would be him, not the accusers. He is not here to defend himself. I didn't believe the others, I don't believe this guy.
I also do not believe him because I think its deplorable and disgusting for someone to talk horrible against someone who has passed away and they are not alive to defend themselves. Furthermore, when he went on trial in the MJ sexual abuse case, he got on the stand and denied any promiscuous doings towards him from MJ. Therefore, for him to come out with this years later, he has committed purgery.
