Chaplin: 'Jackson Isn't Sexual'

06 June 2005

Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter Kiera Chaplin has leapt to the defence of troubled superstar Michael Jackson, insisting he is innocent of the child molestation charges against him because he's not a sexual person.

The model, singer and actress met the BAD star in the 1980s and was horrified when she later discovered the accusations against him, because he seemed too childlike to be interested in illegal sexual activities.

Chaplin tells America's NIGHT magazine, "He gave me one of his dolls. I remember him as being very sweet, very kind, very gentle. He was very shy, very quiet, very polite.

"I don't think he had sex with those kids. I don't think he seems like a sexual person.

"I think it was a little bit inappropriate for kids to come over and sleep at his house for so long, but I don't think he did anything bad."

I just think it is so sad that a Chaplin would fall for such stupidity ( Like that of Michael Jackson ) I mean, first of all, it was scandalous that Lisa-Marie Presley would have fallen for him and married him. But now that a very admired person in more than just her name ( Kiera Chaplin ) is falling for him, I cannot believe that a Chaplin would not take the example set by Miss Presley. Michael Jackson is not worth more than the dirt under anyone's feet . He is a freak . And MUST be regarded as such by all .
