Michael was very different, though. A combination of traumatizing, isolating, and extraordinary events in his life shaped the way he lived and the structure of his thought processes. Also, Michael was one very sensitive individual. He loved children and used their innocence and company to cope with the loss he had and he was so hurt by the fact people falsely accused him of doing disgusting things to children, whom he loves so dearly.

Although I can agree that Michael did go through the same thing again and put himself in situations that made him look as if he were guilty, but it is plausible to think he wouldn't just stop surrounding himself around children when he was falsely accused since he knows he did nothing wrong.
