Washington, Nov 4 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s taste for taking a leak in public is the real basis for his 1993 child molestation charges, according to the late King of Pop’s skin doctor.

Dr. Arnold Klein says MJ’s accuser had seen him peeing and this was how he had been able to identify the marks on the singer’s genitals.

Although Jackson was forced to settle the young accuser’s claims out of court, Dr. Klein asserts that lawyers could not have pressed charges against the star had the case gone to trial because the only evidence the prosecution had was that the plaintiff could tell the discolouration on MJ’s penis and testicles.

Contactmusic quoted TMZ.com, the website that is in possession of the 1993 molestation investigation files, as saying: “A deputy from the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department noted the young accuser was able to describe - in explicit detail - the discolouration on Jackson’s genital area… the result of Vitiligo.

“Dr. Klein insists Jackson did not molest the boy, and says the reason he could describe Jackson’s genitals is because Jackson liked to pee in front of other people. Dr. Klein said Jackson thought it was funny. Klein says there were numerous times when Jackson would pee in the doctor’s home - around groups of people, including children.” (ANI)
