Michael Jackson paid $23 million to buy silence of 24 boys?

Michael Jackson reportedly spent £23 million to buy the silence of at least 24 young boys that he sexually abused and molested over 15 years, according to secret FBI files.


Some documents were not passed to prosecutors in the 2005 trial, where the King of Pop was cleared of child molestation charges. 

The files also feature private investigators' reports, phone transcripts and many hours of audio tapes. They also describe how Jackson was once caught by a household staff member while groping a world-famous child star, viewing porn films while molesting another boy and fondling genitals of a third in his private cinema. 

Ironically, a lot of the damning reports in the collection of FBI were commissioned by the singer himself. 

Other kids, the singer abused include a European boy and the sons of a screenwriter. At least three kids received hush money, an investigator said, with family of one well-known young film actor receiving £392,000 to avoid contact with all types of media, the Mirror said.
