Michael Jackson. The name used to be synonymous with great music. Throw on an old Jackson Five record or the "Off the Wall" album and you'll know what I mean.

But 10 years ago, Jackson became notorious for more than his music. After his domination of pop music in the 1980s, Jackson's career took a nosedive after charges of child molestation surfaced in 1993. Jackson managed to silence the accuser with a multi-million dollar settlement, but his reputation was permanently damaged.
