Did the audience know? I mean I have enjoyed much sang by pedophiles, but I did not know they were pedophiles at the time. In my defense, Billie Jean has a great beat.

No, they audience didn't know. In fact, when he was recognised on the show, he was disqualified for having lied about not having a prior criminal conviction (and just for the bad press of having a defrocked priest who fucked up two major sporting events for his protests - they were afraid he'd do it again if he were allowed onto the live finals).
