Psalm 109:4 (NKJV) -
In return for my love they are my accusers,
But I give myself to prayer.

Only one kid took MJ to court. His other 8 accusers didn't.
Only 10% of CSA cases result in conviction. Enough evidence was found for MJ to be indicted - they just couldn't prove he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt (2 jurors after the trial said they thought he was guilty but were pressured into their verdict by other jurors). One kid brought him to trial but Jordie Chandler, Jason Francia and Jane Doe settled out or court.
The list of kids who have accused MJ of sexual misconduct include:
Jordie Chandler
Gavin Arvizo
Michael Jacobshagen
Jason Francia
Jane Doe
Wade Robson
Corey Feldman
James Safechuck
Terry George
Eddie Reynoza
Tatum O'Neal
Leif Garrett
Damon Patrick
So Leaving Neverland is not one-sided when you consider all the other accusers and read the similarities in their accounts and that three of these accusers (whose names are known) were paid out millions of dollars.

Extremely dangerous how "grooming" in the context of child sexual abuse went from being a very specific pattern of isolation and trust-building with the aim of abusing someone to "telling children anything that contradicts their parents' ultra-conservative worldview is grooming" to "selling rainbow flags in a store is grooming" to "literally anyone I don't like is a groomer".
These days the word seems to most often be used by people who don't care about what it actually means and just want an easy "this person is irredeemably evil, kill them now" button.

Who is Michael Jacobshagen?
Michael Jacobshagen, now 35, from Munich, Germany says that Jackson invited him to his Neverland Ranch where they often watched Peter Pan and would spend time in his jacuzzi.
During their time apart, Jacobshagen said the singer kept in touch by sending him dozens of letters in the mail, one of which read: 'I truly miss you very much, thank you for your loyalty and support. I wait for you at Neverland. All my love always, Michael Jackson.'
He said Jackson sent him at least 30 to 35 messages, including an invitation to join him on his HIStory tour in the late 1990s.
But one of the most alarming things he received from the star was a book titled 'The Boy: A photographic essay,' which featured pictures of nude boys in various outdoor locations. Another copy of this book was found in Jackson's bedroom at his Neverland Ranch after he was arrested on suspicion of child abuse.
Inside, Jackson had penned a message to his fan stating: 'To Michael, my friend, 'Your rubba rubba friend, MJ.' An expert forensic handwriting analyst, Bart Baggett, said there is 'no doubt' the messages were written by the singer.
"I'm 100 percent certain the person who inscribed these notes is Michael Jackson," he told Channel Seven News.
Jacobshagen developed a close relationship with the star after meeting him when he was 12 years old.
During the interview, Jacobshagen also pointed out a shocking detail about one of the photos which he said he only recently discovered.
One of the pages shows the boy's naked backside had a circle drawn around it, which he claims was done by Jackson.
"This is not art. This is, in my opinion, pornography," says Jacobshagen.
He now has a three year old, saying, "I realize now he overstepped the mark with me and with other children. I'm almost the same age now as Michael was when he met me. If I was to share a bed with a child, this would not be right. He was always asking me to sleep in his bed. I would say, 'No Michael, I can sleep in my own suite,' but he was saying 'Please, please...for Michael Jackson.'"
He alleges Jackson stripped naked in front of him in a hotel hot tub.
"He would buy expensive things. He bought my mother a Cartier watch. We would go to toy shops or the Disney store and he would buy me whatever I wanted. And he would drink wine and offer it to me. But I always said no. He called white wine 'Jesus juice' and red wine 'Jesus blood.'"
"When I became a man he did not have so much interest in me. When I went to visit the last time he didn't ask me to sleep with him. I had to sleep on the couch."
He only came clean with what happened to him with his mom after Jackson died in 2009.
"His fans won't like me saying these things. They treat him like a God. But the truth is the truth."
