Shylock,
Occam's Razor says nope. That's a diversion and highly unlikely. This was a sexual murder. The source of the DNA found in the crotch of JonBenet's panties was most likely saliva and mucus deposited by her killer during oral sex.

BC, I think the time has come for you to succinctly state your theory of the case since the instant you do, all of us will be instantly able to see that it does not hang together. You have offered lots of contradictory strands: in all cases the 5th person is an invited guest of Burke's, but I hope you can agree that there's a world of difference between
a) "playing doctor" between kids 3 years apart in age (one end of the continuum);
b) an AEA "game" instigated between those same 2 kids by an older teen or young adult;
c) an AEA "game" involving an older teen/young adult and a 6-year old;
d) a sexual assault involving oral sex and vaginal penetration with a paintbrush of a 6-year old by a teen/young adult, and
e) a deliberate sexual assault and intentional murder motivated by a political agenda.
Based on the "clues" you've tossed out, one could credibly deduce that you believe any one of these disparate theories. But since the DNA evidence rules out all male Ramseys as being the oral sex perp, this suggests that we are far closer to the sexual assault end of the continuum than innocent sex game end of it. In that context, it is HIGHLY implausible either that the parents would be motivated to cover up for a non-family member engaged in such outrageous activity on their own precious daughter and even if they attempted to do so, it borders on the ABSURD to believe that the GJ knowingly looked the other way merely to spare Burke and the family some embarrassment. To believe further that the BPD, DA's office, a federal judge and other elements of LE have knowingly gone along with this cover-up takes us into the domain of the NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.
The fact is that any of the scenarios b) through e) entail Burke's being exploited by the teen/adult to either engage in behavior he arguably would have never done on his own or was effectively forced to watch as his older "friend" engaged in this same despicable behavior towards his own sister.
To effectively look the other way and risk having this perp repeat this sick behavior on some other 6-year would have been unconscionable. While I believe mistakes clearly were made in this case, I have a far higher opinion of the motivations of LE in this case than you apparently do.
