Napa, CA -- A University of Sydney professor says if Michael Jackson is guilty of child molestation, steroid use might be to blame.

Dr. Stephen Juan, a biological anthropologist, says Jackson's use of steroids to treat his Vitiligo -- a skin disorder manifested by smooth white spots on various parts of the body -- can lead to poor judgement and may be the cause of pre-pubescent hanky panky.

Juan says that Jackson is taking large doses of the steroid to keep his skin so light, and that means his judgement is heavily impaired.

Also, he says Jackson has demonstrated poor judgement in the past, such as the time he dangled his baby over the hotel balcony in Berlin.

"No one wants to accuse him of anything, that for the courts to determine," says Juan.

Juan says he's sympathetic on one hand to Jackson's problem, "but if he has abused a child then he should be penalized."
