Finally an explanation as to why Michael Jackson's 1993 accuser could identify the discoloration on the singer's genitals ... Michael liked to pee for an audience.
TMZ has obtained files from the 1993 Santa Barbara molestation investigation. A deputy from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department noted the young accuser was able to describe -- in explicit detail -- the discoloration on Jackson's genital area ... the result of Vitiligo, a skin discoloration disorder.
TMZ's Harvey Levin spent 3 hours last Sunday with Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's best friend and doctor for decades. Dr. Klein insists Jackson did not molest the boy, and says the reason he could describe Jackson's genitals is because Jackson liked to pee in front of other people. Dr. Klein said Jackson thought it was funny.
Klein says there were numerous times when Jackson would pee in the doctor's home -- in a cup!!! -- around groups of people, including children.
Klein says Jackson would also pee in front of other people in his office.
Dr. Klein says the 1993 accuser saw Jackson peeing and that's why he could identify the genital markings.

Another day, another creditor's claim filed against Michael Jackson's estate.
The law firm Mesereau & Yu -- who defended Michael during his molestation trial in 2005 -- filed a claim on Friday against the estate.
In the claim, it says Michael owes the firm $341,452.05 for work done between July of 2005 and February of 2006.
And well worth it ... Michael was acquitted on all 14 charges.

For two decades, Father Oliver O' Grady, by his own admission, molested scores of boys and girls in various parishes in California, becoming one of the most notorious pedophiles amongst the priests defrocked in the scandal that rocked the Catholic Church. A powerful new documentary tells O'Grady's story, and suggests that while his crimes were monstrous, the alleged cover-up perpetrated by the church was truly unforgivable.
"Deliver Us From Evil" tells the story of how the Catholic Church moved O'Grady from parish to parish in order to avoid liability and deflect criticism. Internal church documents prove that, beginning in 1973, Church superiors knew of O'Grady's actions and lied to parishioners and local law enforcement to protect him.
Some of the most remarkable moments of the film are the interviews with O'Grady himself. His dispassionate account of the hundreds of children he molested is disturbing enough; combined with the stories told by the survivors, filmmaker Amy Berg creates a moving, powerful, and unforgettable narrative. A never-before-seen taped deposition given by Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony and his former second-in-command Monsignor James Cain is also featured in the film.
The documentary has a limited release on October 13th and goes wide October 27th.

(April 7, 11:40AM ET) -- 'Desperate Housewives' star Teri Hatcher continued her battle against child abuse and violence against women, delivering a tearful speech about being sexually molested by her uncle 35 years ago.
As her eyes welled up, the 41-year-old actress told reporters Thursday, during a news conference to announce plans for the third annual Women's World Awards:
"It's a choice to not remain silent and it's a choice to raise our voices in a strong way to say to perpetrators that we are not going to be silent anymore."

British glam rocker Gary Glitter will go on trial March 2 on charges of committing obscene acts with two underaged girls in Vietnam, the presiding judge said Monday.
The trial is expected to last two days, said Hoang Thanh Tung, who will oversee the trial in southern Ba Ria Vung Tau province.
Glitter, 61, who won fame in the 1970s with such hits as the anthemic "Rock & Roll, Part 2" and "Do You Wanna Touch Me," is accused of kissing and fondling the two girls, aged 10 and 11, and "engaging in other physical acts" at his rental home in the port city of Vung Tau last year. The crime carries a prison sentence ranging from three to seven years.

TMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed by a man who claims Michael Jackson molested him, gave him drugs, alcohol and forced him to undergo unnecessary cosmetic surgery.
The plaintiff in this bizarre suit, claims Jackson "repeatedly and forcefully" sexually molested him from 1987 (when he was two years old) until, "on or about December 21, 1999," at locations that were "owned, leased or rented by defendants." Other defendants in the case include various divisions of Sony Music (Jackson's label). The plaintiff accuses Sony of conspiring with Jackson and allowing the alleged acts to occur.
The suit claims the molestation includes "Michael Jackson sticking his tongue down plaintiff's throat, masturbating plaintiff, and anally penetrating plaintiff by force."
