I was trying to make a silly joke; but on the topic, here's a mind twister for you -- Culkin acknowledged sleeping in the same bed as Michael, as have other child-friends of his. A lot of his child-friends say that he just wanted to act like a child with them. Hell, Culkin is godfather to 3 of his children. Michael was, however, never found guilty of any sexual assault or pedophilia charges. In the court of public opinion though, even if he didn't touch them, just sleeping with children is gross and MJ is a pedo.

Gandhi decided that lust was evil so to practice his will he slept naked with young girls, including his grand-niece, in order to "develop his discipline" against lust. Gandhi is a hero and millions of people base their lives on his philosophies. What should be considered his fucked up practices that, assuming he was "strong of will," bordered on pedophilia, and at worse was pedophilia when he "failed" his tests, are glossed over.

Not saying either is guilty or innocent, but public perception is fucking weird no?
