I'm of two minds, and in neither one of them do I think this is a good thing at all.
Either Michael is innocent, and is the victim of an overzealous media who have tried and convicted him in front of millions of armchair jurors, and ruined his life simply because he is eccentric.
Or Michael actually did do this, which means the years and years of abuse he has given to who knows how many children, could have been stopped with the first allegations a decade ago.
Either one of these scenario's makes me sick to my stomach.
