It's kinda funny the race says "B" :P
I don't think he'll "get out" of it, but I bet he doesn't spend a minute in jail. More than likely one his people will go to the kid's parents, offer mega $$$ for the kid to change the story/refuse to testify and the case will be dropped or the charges lowered.
IF he was as innocent as he claims, then after all the crap that's been thrown at him all these years he would NEVER allow himself be alone with a kid and no adult witnesses. That's just common sense.

I don't think he can buy his way out of it this go around. After the last case, Cali passed a law to prevent civil cases from interfering with criminal case.

Jackson dominated popular music in the 1980s with his catchy dance music, but his career has been in decline. His reputation was damaged in part by a similar allegation 10 years ago that never resulted in charges because the alleged victim declined to cooperate with police.
Jackson, who reportedly paid a multimillion-dollar settlement in that case, has maintained his innocence.
The district attorney has said the youngster in the latest case is cooperating with investigators and has no plans to sue. He also said prosecutors could be helped by a law, passed since the earlier Jackson investigation, that was designed to keep civil suits from interfering with criminal cases.
