LOS ANGELES, June 23 (UPI) — Michael Jackson allegedly had a hoard of child pornography at his Neverland Ranch, according to newly obtained reports.
A police raid of his California home in November 2003 allegedly found stacks of porn that included children, animal torture, and S&M. Other items found included “drugs to treat sex addiction, with multiple prescriptions written by a variety of physicians,” according to documents obtained by Radar Online.
Investigators told the online publication the materials were “used to desensitize children.”
Jackson was on trial for molestation charges at the time of the raid.
Santa Barbara County prosecutors described Jackson’s mansion as a place he used to lure and “groom” young boys before molesting them. Jackson was acquitted in the case.
Radar Online has published apparent documents from the case along with pornographic images that were alleged to be among items police found that Jackson used to lure children.
Kelly Hoover, a spokeswoman for the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office, told the Los Angeles Times they have not released any photos or documents about the case to the media. She said “some of the documents appear to be copies of reports that were authored by Sheriff’s Office” along with photos taken by Sheriff’s Office personnel. The sheriff’s material had case numbers on it, Hoover said.
Hoover also said some of the documents that appear to be real are presented along side other content from other, questionable sources.
Jackson’s estate blasted the release of the documents.
“Everything in these reports, including what the County of Santa Barbara calls ‘content that appears to be obtained off the Internet or through unknown sources’ is false, no doubt timed to the anniversary of Michael’s passing,” the statement said.
