Indeed there are. _However_, I’ve not seen **anything** remotely approaching the kind of stuff that’s come out against MJ. There’s no home movies (that I’ve seen) of Clarke holding a Sri Lankan child with the creepy rapturous expression MJ had on his face when he was “dancing” with Emmanuel Lewis, nor AFAIK, adults who’ve come forward and said that when they were young Clarke molested them (he’s been in Sri Lanka for a couple of decades now).

I know that when he was knighted, he asked the Queen to delay the ceremony in order that he could handle a journalists accusations that he’d molested children. What the end results of that effort were, I’ve no idea. However, [Sri Lankan authorities said Clarke was innocent.](http://gaytoday.badpuppy.com/garchive/world/041498wo.htm)

Looking more and more like jackpot seekers - with the reports of previous cases of suing, etc.
