Michael Jackson through the years Jackson was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, but the criminal charges were dropped because of a lack of evidence. Jackson settled the civil case out of court with an estimated $20 million payment to Jordy Chandler's family. The ordeal took a toll on the performer's image, and he became a curiousity as much as a legendary entertainer. In this 1996 photo, he is seen wearing an anti-pollution mask and shielding his head.

Michael Jackson through the years Jackson's legacy might have shifted for good when the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department arrested him in 2003 on more sexual abuse charges. His trial began two years later. During that time, he suffered from stress-related illnesses that caused severe weight loss. The trial lasted five months and ended in May 2005, when he was acquitted on all counts. (AP)
