When Michael Jackson went through his child molestation trial in 2005, it was the Rev. Jesse Jackson who stepped in to pray with and counsel the troubled star. Early morning phone calls helped Michael Jackson stay on track. The reverend told the Associated Press, the counseling helped the family to "stay focused. This is a difficulty for all involved, the accuser and the accused. ... He will survive this."
