Regarding Michael Jackson, my view is that the kids slept in his bed and that the relationship was probably creepy, but it's difficult to prove he penetrated them. From Leaving Neverland, I remember that the cops got a semen sample, and they still struggled to prove that he'd fucked them. That's always the sticky wicket, whether it's Bernstein, Britten, Woody Allen or Michael. Most of the cases that have gone ahead, like James Levine, had A-grade evidence and B-grade lawyers.

In fact, he basically dumped them after they hit puberty. - Compared to Britten, he comes off noticeably worse. Britten had a stable long-term partner and several women that worked for him at Aldeburgh (Imogen Holst + housekeepers). Everyone agrees that Ben slept with the kids, but none of them say he touched them. In fact, his estate supported Britten's Children to clear his name. He may have wanted to recapture his…
