Celebrity Justice
Paris' Jacko Connection

Posted Jun 7th 2007 12:40PM by TMZ Staff

Jacko and ParisThe headshrink who treated Paris Hilton for her mysterious ailment during her jail stint was involved in another high profile case -- and the circumstances were just as curious.

Dr. Charles Sophy, a Beverly Hills psychiatrist, had a role in the Michael Jackson molestation case in 2003. Sophy's only public acknowledgement of Jacko was made to the television show "Celebrity Justice," where he admitted, "I'm involved in the Jackson case ... but not the way that you think."

Dr. SophyTMZ has learned Sophy took a high-level position at the Department of Family and Child Services just as the Jackson story broke. He requested a memo from the staff -- detailing an interview Jackson's accuser gave to social workers -- in which the boy denied being sexually abused by Jacko.

Almost immediately after Sophy got the memo, it leaked to the media. Sophy would never publicly say why he needed that memo or talk about how it leaked.

Now Sophy is again connected to a celebrity legal mystery.

5. This crap with paris Hilton is stupid enough as it is, We have been inundated with news over this spoiled woman and her jail sentence to no end, It is sickening. Now you have to bring child molesting Jackson into it. Charles Sophy should advertise himself "Doctor of eccentric buffoons."

7. If anyone is as outraged as I am by the release of Paris Hilton I have located the phone number of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Dept complaint dept" 323-526-5541. For those of us working with kids that are facing incarceration time, that do not have the benefit of high priced attorneys and psychiatrists it becomes increasingly difficult to convince them that they will be treated fairly and equally by our juvenile and adult justice system. Therefore, it becomes equally difficult to convey to them the importance to "play by the rules" as they become increasingly convinced the rules are not equally applied TO THEM. Please join me in expressing your outrage on behalf of our children.

9. Dr. Sophy? That name sounds familiar! Wasn't he one of the doctors prescribing drugs to Anna Nicole? Am I mistaken?

10. Paris falling into depression, lonely? What a joke.
I'm sure every single person put in jail feel the same way and and some of them are in there for a lesser charge!

The judge and judicial system are a joke!

11. I just spoke to the Sherriffs complaint line to which #8 is referring people to complain about the preferential treatment of paris Hiltron. I was told that the judge who gave the order to free Hilton is the same judge who sentenced her, Whoever that was. TMZ ran a story on him once and mentioned his name. WHoever he was, that guy let her go.

14. When Paris' mom Kathy made the statement after her trial of "after all the money we've spent" like she just didn't understand how her darling daughter could have received a sentence, I knew mama Hilton wasn't done spending. I'm sure Dr. Sophy was the next thing on her list to buy and it looks like her shopping expedition was a complete success. Our legal system is so damn corrupt it is laughable.

A normal everyday person would no have been accorded the courtesies and freedoms that Paris-ite has.
