Former Santa Barbara senior assistant district attorney Ron Zonen told media he believes the images were used to "desensitize the children ... There's not much question in my mind that Michael was guilty of child molestation."
Chinese fans have commemorated the icon with flash mobs and candlelit vigils since his 2009 death. They rented time on Shanghai's biggest outdoor screen, the 140-meter-high, 43-meter-wide Citigroup Tower on the Bund last week.
"Michael Jackson has never performed on the mainland," says Xu Hao, who rented the screen with a friend.
"We tried to arrange for fans to dance with him."
Few people around the world aside from the superstar's superfans realize Jackson wasn't only the King of Pop but also a prince of poetry.
Chinese adorers hope the book can provide new insights into his soul.
One stanza of his poetry book in particular has captured the country's attention:
"It was only when I broke all ties
After the stillness of the shrieking cries
In the depths of those heaving sighs
The imagined sorrow of a thousand lies
I suddenly stared in your fiery eyes
All at once I found my goal
The elusive shadow was my soul."
