In this video he says that he slept with children in one bed.
But I understand him. He was abused as a child and wants to compensate it with feeling as a child again.

The dude was a modern day Castrato (or is it Castrati?)
The old practice of castrating a young choir boy in order to preserve his boyish voice into adulthood. Apparently, a boy's voice was the closest you can get to a "heavenly" or "angelic" sound, even the best opera singer foid voice couldn't compare to that of a Castrati... But what do I know, that shit was created and practiced by the vatican and the Catholic church. Shit was still legal in the early 1900s. Poor families would donate their boys to the church in exchange for good compensation, and if said future castrati became an rockstar opera sensation, the family would receive even more riches.
I wouldn't put it past MJ's father to do this, especially with how greedy he was. There's a doctor who came forward and said MJ was chemically castrated as a young boy, but there was no actually proof to his allegations. The chemical castration method was through injections, I believe.
MJ was a huge attraction and money maker as a boy, and with most celeb children fading away as they reach maturity, old Joe Jackson had a decision to make lol. That decision seemed to have paid off.
I don't think MJ actually molested kids, he just had a severe case of Peter Pan syndrome. He had no actual childhood as his life revolved around working and performing (and fatherly abuse), then he most likely had little to no libido and thought he can just be a kid forever and hang out with them like Peter Pan.
There is surviving audio of the last Castrati/o. Apparently he wasn't one of the most talented out of them, but at least you can have a glimpse of what they sounded like. The man in this clip recorded this in his 40s... Kinda eerie tbh. MJ had that same flair in his voice but he added a bit of a rocker twist/yell, hence creating that famous MJ style.
