8A NEWS/®I)e Cbarlottt *oi(t Thursday, December 4, 2003 Jackson’s traubles no snnHlsotohisfans By Nia Ngina Meeks THE PHILADELPHIA TRIBUNE PHILADELPHIA Sharletta Ambey might love Michael Jackson’s music, but she is less enamored with his alleged private behavior with children. Ambey is a survivor of childhood sexual assault and knows the pain it leaves. “I just think he’s Wallace guilty,” said the home maker and mother of seven. “He paid off money before, and I don’t believe in paying money if you’te not gudty. This is the second time it’s happened. We all have a freak side, and his is present now.” Many blacks share her “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me” attitude in the aftermath of Jackson’s recent arrest in Santa Barbara County, Calif. While people admit to struggling to keep the “inno cent until proven guilty” premise in mind, many expressed disappointment that the international pop sensation has foimd himself embroiled in yet another child molestation charge — and angry at the parents of the child involved. “It makes you think, is it the parents, or is it him?” said Lictoria Cromer, a 24- year-old certified nursing assistant from Southwest Philadelphia. “I wouldn’t let my children go with him. Not without me. And that’s with anybody.” Both she and her sister, Shedonna, called Jackson “sick.” After all, it was in 1993 that a then-13-year-old accused Jackson of molesta tion. No charges were brought, but the civil case was settled out-of-court for millions. The current accuser is around the same age and a cancer survivor who previ ously visited Jackson’s home “For 1 will restore health unto thee, and 1 will heat thy wounds, saith the Lord” - Jeremiah 30:17 On “The Plaza” • 704-535-0400 1805 Milton Road • Charlotte, NC 28215 • Pediatrics At “The Park” • 704-399-2677 6023 Beatties Ford Road ♦ Charlotte.
