Travelling to Australia in 1996 was something important to Jackson, he married his wife Debbie Rowe there. What would other people do before and after their wedding? I assume everybody would like to spend time with their boyfriend/girlfriend. Well, that is not what Jackson had in mind. Even in Australia, he tried to get close to young male children, an obsession that ruined his life. But already before he landed in Australia, he had a boy at his side. It was 8-year-old Anthony.

Anthony was his “best man” at the wedding. Weird enough, but that wasn’t the strangest thing he did when he was in Australia.

Jackson befriended a young Australian boy too, his name was Ash Denton. The father of the child was the frontman of former Perth pub rockers “the Frames”. Jackson met the family in a Doubleview video shop, after a security guard invited eight-year-old Ash into the video shop when the child had been roller-blading along Scarborough.

So, a security guard invites a young child, who doesn’t show any interest in meeting Michael Jackson. That raises some serious questions. Were Jackson’s security guards looking for a boy that Jackson may like? How come they invited some random kid to meet the world’s biggest entertainer? That doesn’t just show that Jackson was extremely obsessed with the company of young male children, it also shows that his employees knew of that obsession and introduced him to children. Did they maybe even search for victims and knew of Jackson’s pedophilia?

A day later, the family joined an excited mob at Scarborough’s Rendezvous Hotel where Jackson was staying. On spotting Ash in the crowd, Jackson invited him and his mother to his hotel suite. The family then joined others in the night of the concert in the suite, which was scattered with children’s party food. Ash went with Jackson in his limousine to the gig and was part of a circle of children on stage for Jackson’s song Heal the world.

Jackson was obviously taken by Ash and other young boys who imitated him. The father recalled that Jackson was calling him for consent about any contact with Ash. He invited a boy he barely knew to a concert, into his limousine and even into his hotel suite.

” He was eccentric as hell, but he had that many people caring about him he couldn’t do anything himself.” ~ Dean Denton

The mother recalled that Jackson called her once a week and allowed her to try on his jackets. After one year, the close friendship suddenly stopped. Jackson never called the family again.

Here is a picture of Ash Denton and Michael Jackson who looks like he likes the kid a lot, judging by the way he holds him in the photograph:

About two months before he met Ash, he met Omer Bhatti. In 1997, Omer Bhatti moved into Jackson’s ranch and Jackson had the boy around him 24/7. Besides, Omer travelled with Jackson to some countries. Bhatti became Jackson’s favorite over night and became the last known mini-Michael as well. So, there wasn’t really a need for Jackson to have Ash Denton around any longer. He chose Bhatti over Denton, maybe also because Bhatti’s parents allowed Jackson to be around their son all the time and didn’t mind that Jackson became a father figure either. When Ash met Jackson for the first time, Jackson couldn’t really know if he would be able to build up a relationship with Omer Bhatti or not. The handling with Ash still shows that Jackson picked up random boys he didn’t even know & that his employees knew about Jackson’s obsession with young male children.
