Michael Jackson
The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was accused in 1993 of child molestation, following the alleged abuse of a 13-year-old Jordan Chandler. Although he wasn’t tried for that accusation, the singer was formally charged with child molestation in 2003, allegedly for impropriety with 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo, who the pop star befriended. The 2003 trial found Jackson innocent of the accusations but despite the verdict, the pop icon’s reputation had already been permanently smeared. Jackson died in 2009.
