The dark side of Mr.King was starting to be exposed in the mid 1990's with numerous allegations against him until finally being convicted in late 2001 - "Pop mogul Jonathan King was today sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted of molesting schoolboys. Judge David Paget told a pale and shaken King that he had used his position in the pop world to seduce young boys.
