About the possibility of NAMBLA seeking him out

Now the books dont really matter to me at all anymore because the "crazy pedophile" having only 2 books dedicated to naked boys among his larger art book collection (books that were gifted to him nonetheless by a fan OR Nambla members and ones he didnt seek out)

But why would NAMBLA particular want Michael to get a hold of these books? Why did they have an interest in him? The books were gifted to him in the early 80s, but I can't recall Michael being that openly fixated on children and childhood before/up to that point.

There are some possibilities

- Michael and Tatum's relationship in the 70s. Not anything serious nor did they have sex but the age gap is striking to someone in mote recent times. But seeing how the tavloids talked about it i dont think their age gap was seen as necessarily pedophilic in the public's eye considering now one pointed it out as problematic.

- Michael and Emmanuel Lewis' relationship. Platonic friends and was shown in the public as such but NAMBLA may have looked at it another way. Still this was before his open innocent fixation on kids was prominent for a pattern to be noticed. Not writing it off entirely though

What do you all think? I'd love to discuss about this or to learn about/remind myself about certain info

How likely is it for Bill Bray (a retired LAPD officer) to have been tipped off by the LAPD prior to the raid in 1993?

Not that I believe it of course, its just that ive seen some of the sick suggestions said by guilters and I want to debunk them in future conversation.

How to talk about Jane Doe to people who doubt or question his innocence?

I am confident in every other allegation being false, but this one has me stumped. The letter and the payments are bad optics (especially that letter with the whole "im crazy about you", even if it is just innocent or replying to a Valentines Day letter). It also doesn't help that Michael had "secret girlfriends".

The only rebuttals I have are is that he made 2 demos about children being trafficked ("I don't sing it if I dont mean it") and that there isn't an explicit reference to grooming happening but those arent good enough.
