Police Search Jackson's Ranch
Nov 18, 1:23 PM EST

Investigators conducting a criminal probe swarmed Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch on Tuesday, a sheriff's spokesman said. The purpose of the search was not disclosed.

Authorities from the Santa Barbara County sheriff's and district attorney's offices served a warrant about 8:30 a.m. as part of an "ongoing criminal investigation," Sgt. Chris Pappas said in a recorded statement on a media information line.

The district attorney's office had no comment, said legal secretary Debbie Popp.

It was not known whether Jackson or his children were at the Santa Ynez Valley property, which has its own zoo and amusement park with bumper cars, a merry-go-round and Ferris wheel.

Nearly 10 years have passed since the 45-year-old singing superstar faced a child-molestation investigation in a case that never resulted in criminal charges.

The singer who had international hits with the albums "Thriller" (1982), "Bad" (1987) and "Dangerous" (1991), saw his career begin to collapse in 1993 amid allegations he molested a boy. Jackson maintained his innocence, and charges were never filed. He reportedly paid a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Jackson is also connected to Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano, who has begun serving federal prison time for possessing illegal explosives, and is being investigated about whether he secretly taped conversations of celebrities and their lawyers.

Pellicano, 59, reportedly worked for Jackson while the singer was under investigation for child molestation in the early 1990s.

As the raid was under way, Court TV reported that the warrant was tied to allegations brought by a 12-year-old boy. That could not immediately be confirmed by The Associated Press.

Jackson's spokesman, Stuart Backerman, did not answer his cell phone and did not immediately return messages Tuesday.

In a television documentary broadcast on ABC earlier this year, Jackson said he had slept in a bed with many children. "When you say bed you're thinking sexual," the singer said. "It's not sexual, we're going to sleep. I tuck them in...It's very charming, it's very sweet."

The search came on the same day Epic Records released "Number Ones," a greatest hits collection featuring Jackson's new single, "One More Chance." On Nov. 26, CBS is scheduled to air a Jackson special consisting mainly of old concert footage.

Jackson has three children, and caused an international uproar last year when he displayed his baby, Prince Michael II, to fans by dangling him briefly from a fourth-floor balcony in Germany, where he had gone to accept an award.

Jackson called the incident a "terrible mistake," and Berlin authorities said the actions were not punishable.

Not much is known about Prince Michael II, whose mother has not been identified. The singer's 6-year-old son, Prince Michael I, and 5-year-old daughter, Paris, were born during his marriage to Debbie Rowe, his plastic surgeon's nurse, which ended in 1999.

He was also married to Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis's daughter, between 1994 and 1996.

Jackson routinely keeps the children's heads covered with cloth while escorting them in public and he usually sports a surgical mask himself when out and about. He has said he wants to protect them from the public eye

Source: Molestation allegations spur search of Michael Jackson's ranch
Tuesday, November 18, 2003 Posted: 6:46 PM EST (2346 GMT)

SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- Investigators responding to allegations of child molestation, according to one source with knowledge of the investigation, searched pop star Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch for several hours Tuesday.

There was no official confirmation of what sparked the investigation or what the 20 officers from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department and District Attorney's office were searching for or may have found.

"We cannot comment on law enforcement's investigation because we do not yet know what it is about," a spokesman for the entertainer said.

But a source with knowledge of the investigation said it involved allegations of child molestation -- nearly a decade after Jackson, now 45, settled a lawsuit filed on behalf of a boy who had done sleepovers at Neverland Ranch while he was still 13 and accused Jackson of molesting him.

No criminal charges were filed in that case.

Stuart Backerman, a spokesman for Jackson, said the singer has been in Las Vegas for the past 2 1/2 weeks, shooting a video for the song "One More Chance."

That single is on his "Number Ones" album, a greatest hits collection released Tuesday by Epic Records.

Later this month, a special on Jackson is due to air on CBS.

According to Bakerman's statement, Jackson himself said, "I've seen lawyers who do not represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released."

The search warrant was served at 8:30 a.m. (11:30 a.m. EST), said Chris Pappas, a spokesman for the sheriff's department, and investigators were still on the scene more than six hours later.

Attorney Larry R. Feldman, who represented the alleged victim in the 1994 child molestation lawsuit against Jackson, told CNN Tuesday he would "not confirm or deny" that he is currently representing anyone in a civil or criminal investigation pertaining to Jackson because of possible "violation of attorney-client privilege."

Backerman attacked the "the malignant horde of media hounds claiming to speak for Michael on this and many other issues.

"A rogue's gallery of hucksters and self-styled 'inside sources' have dominated the airwaves since reports of a search of Neverland broke, speculating, guessing and fabricating information about an investigation they couldn't possibly know about," he said.

Backerman said Jackson will "cooperate fully with authorities in any investigation even as it is conducted, yet again, while he is not home."

Terms of the 1994 lawsuit settlement were confidential although the boy's attorney -- Feldman -- said at the time they were happy to resolve the matter and put it behind him.

Johnnie Cochran, Jackson's attorney in that case, said at the time that Jackson maintained his innocence and that settlement was in no way an admission of guilt.

Criminal investigators stopped pursuing their case after the lawsuit was settled and the young boy -- by then 14 -- made clear he did not want to participate in any prosecution of the singer.

CNN correspondents Frank Buckley and Charles Feldman and Producer Stan Wilson contributed to this report.

Jackson Responds to Media Frenzy Over Criminal Probe
Tue, Nov 18, 2003, 04:11 PM PT

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Michael Jackson wants the media to get their stories straight.

In response to the media uproar following reports of a police-conducted search of the singer's Neverland ranch Tuesday morning (Nov. 18), Jackson's spokesman Stuart Backerman issued a statement to the press later that afternoon.

The statement comments that the "rogue's gallery of hucksters and self-styled 'inside sources' ... [are] speculating, guessing and fabricating information about an investigation they couldn't possibly know about."

These journalists were also referred to as "the malignant horde of media hounds."

Jackson himself says, "I've seen lawyers who do not represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released."

TV magazine "Extra" and other media sources report that the criminal probe of the Santa Barbara property stems from a 12-year-old boy's allegations of sexual misconduct by Jackson.

The statement adds that the 45-year-old popster will cooperate fully with authorities, but does not comment on the ongoing investigation, claiming, "We do not yet know what it is about."

Backerman could not be reached for comment.

Police are swarming Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch at Los Olvios.

The purpose of the search has yet to be disclosed, but Court TV reports that it stems from allegations of sexual abuse against a 12 or 13 year old boy.

The authorities executed a search warrant at the musician's

sprawling home in the Santa Ynez Valley outside of Santa Barbara. A

sheriff's spokesman, who declined to give his name, says the Santa

Barbara County District Attorney's office also is involved.

Source: Arrest warrant issued for Jackson
Wednesday, November 19, 2003 Posted: 11:52 AM EST (1652 GMT)

LOS OLIVOS, California (CNN) -- Authorities have issued a warrant for the arrest of singer Michael Jackson, whose Santa Barbara, California, ranch was searched Tuesday, a knowledgeable source close to the investigation told CNN Wednesday.

It was not known when the arrest warrant was issued or what charges have been filed, but the source said Tuesday that the search of the pop star's home was in response to an allegation of child molestation.

About 70 officials from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department and the district attorney's office searched the home, known as Neverland Ranch, for about 10 hours Tuesday as part of what one official called an "ongoing criminal investigation." There was no official word on what they were searching for or may have found.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department and the district attorney will hold a news conference Wednesday at 11 a.m. (2 p.m. EST).

"We cannot comment on law enforcement's investigation because we do not yet know what it is about," a spokesman for the entertainer said.

Stuart Backerman, a spokesman for Jackson, said the singer has been in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the past two-and-a-half weeks, shooting a video for the song "One More Chance." That single is on his "Number Ones" album, a greatest-hits collection released Tuesday by Epic Records.

Later this month, a special on Jackson is set to be broadcast on CBS.

According to Backerman's statement, Jackson said: "I've seen lawyers who do not represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released."

The allegations come almost a decade after Jackson, now 45, settled a lawsuit filed on behalf of a boy who had slept over at Neverland Ranch when he was 13 and accused Jackson of molesting him. No criminal charges were filed in that case.

Attorney Larry R. Feldman, who represented the alleged victim in the 1994 child molestation lawsuit against Jackson, told CNN on Tuesday that he would "not confirm or deny" that he is representing anyone in a civil or criminal investigation pertaining to Jackson because of possible "violation of attorney-client privilege."

Brian Oxman, an attorney for the Jackson family, said on CNN's "Larry King Live" that he believes the investigation stems from someone else seeking financial gain from Jackson.

"It is a case of excitement and hysteria because we have the same accusations that we had 10 years ago," he said. "It's like playing the playoffs all over again."

Johnnie Cochran, Jackson's attorney in the case 10 years ago, said it's odd the search warrant was served the day the singer's latest album was released.

"I think it's more than coincidence. I think it was planned," he said on "Larry King Live."

Cochran said he's tried to counsel Jackson "not to ever put yourself in that position" of being alone with young children.

"But that's who Michael Jackson is, he's a very, very naive person in many respects, and there's no question about that. Yeah, he does wear a bull's eye," Cochran said.

Backerman criticized what he called "the malignant horde of media hounds claiming to speak for Michael on this and many other issues.

"A rogues' gallery of hucksters and self-styled 'inside sources' have dominated the airwaves since reports of a search of Neverland broke, speculating, guessing and fabricating information about an investigation they couldn't possibly know about," he said.

Arrest Warrant Issued for Michael Jackson
Wed, Nov 19, 2003, 10:11 AM PT

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Officials at the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department have issued a warrant for Michael Jackson's arrest on one count of child molestation.

According to CNN, Detective Tim Gracey with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department said authorities are working to determine Jackson's whereabouts and bring him into custody.

Jackson's Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, was searched Tuesday (Nov. 1 Cool

as part of the investigation.

Although Jackson is not currently at the ranch, "Extra" reports that the King of Pop is in Las Vegas rehearsing for an upcoming CBS special. His publicist, Stuart Backerman, confirms that Jackson is still in the country.

The 45-year-old international star hit it big with albums such as "Thriller" and "Bad." He has also acted in several films including 1978's "The Wiz" as the loose-limbed Scarecrow and recently had a cameo as Agent M in 2002's "Men in Black II."

Backerman promised Jackson will "cooperate fully with authorities."

The live press conference in Santa Barbara has just concluded.

Jackson charged with 'lewd or lascivious' conduct

Jackson performs at an October awards show.

D.A.: Jackson to be charged with child molestation
Bail set at $3 million
Wednesday, November 19, 2003 Posted: 2:48 PM EST (1948 GMT)

Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon speaks Wednesday at a news conference, formally announcing criminal charges against Michael Jackson.

From the California Penal Code Section 288(a):
Any person who willfully and lewdly commits any lewd or lascivious act, including any of the acts constituting other crimes provided for in Part 1, upon or with the body, or any part or member thereof, of a child who is under the age of 14 years, with the intent of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust, passions, or sexual desires of that person or the child, is guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for three, six, or eight years.

LOS OLIVOS, California (CNN) -- Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Michael Jackson on multiple counts of child molestation and have directed him to surrender and turn in his passport, Santa Barbara County authorities said Wednesday.

"The bail amount on the warrant has been set at $3 million," Sheriff Jim Anderson said.

District Attorney Tom Sneddon said Jackson faces multiple counts of lewd or lascivious contact with a child younger than 14. He could face a minimum of three years and a maximum of eight years in prison on each count if convicted.

Sneddon said child molestation charges will be filed in a "very short" period of time. No civil suit has been filed in the case and no civil suit is expected, he said.

"We have a cooperative victim in this particular proceeding," Sneddon said.

Jackson's spokesman Stuart Backerman said the singer has been in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the past two-and-a-half weeks, shooting a video for the song "One More Chance." That single is on his "Number Ones" album, a greatest-hits collection released Tuesday by Epic Records.

Earlier, Backerman told CNN that Jackson's legal team was in talks with Santa Barbara authorities to arrange for Jackson to be taken into custody.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said Santa Barbara police have not asked permission to arrest Jackson in Las Vegas, which they would do if they wanted to arrest him immediately rather than allowing him to return to Santa Barbara and turn himself in.

Attorney Mark Geragos -- who has been representing Scott Peterson in a high-profile California trial -- is a paid consultant on the legal team, but has not been determined to be Jackson's lead attorney, Backerman said.

About 70 officials from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department and the district attorney's office searched the home for about 13 hours. There was no official word on what they were searching for or may have found.

Jackson's mansion is on a 2,600-acre estate about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of Santa Barbara, and features amusement park rides, a petting zoo and statues of children.

According to Backerman, Jackson said: "I've seen lawyers who do not represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released."

The allegations come almost a decade after Jackson settled a lawsuit filed on behalf of a boy who had slept over at Neverland Ranch when he was 13 and accused Jackson of molesting him. No criminal charges were filed in that case.

Attorney Larry R. Feldman, who represented the alleged victim in the 1993 child molestation lawsuit against Jackson, told CNN on Tuesday that he would "not confirm or deny" that he is representing anyone in a civil or criminal investigation pertaining to Jackson because of possible "violation of attorney-client privilege."

Johnnie Cochran, Jackson's attorney in the case 10 years ago, said it's odd the search warrant was served the day the singer's latest album was released.

"I think it's more than coincidence. I think it was planned," he said on "Larry King Live."

Cochran said he's tried to counsel Jackson "not to ever put yourself in that position" of being alone with young children. Undecided

"But that's who Michael Jackson is, he's a very, very naive person in many respects, and there's no question about that. Yeah, he does wear a bull's eye," Cochran said. Angry

Backerman criticized what he called "the malignant horde of media hounds claiming to speak for Michael on this and many other issues.

Michael Jackson to Face Multiple Child Sex Charges
Thu Nov 20,12:01 AM ET
By Dan Whitcomb

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (Reuters) - Pop superstar Michael Jackson (news), a self-styled "Peter Pan" whose relationship with children has long been controversial, was expected on Thursday to surrender to California authorities to face multiple charges of child molestation.

The Santa Barbara County sheriff and district attorney told reporters that they were giving Jackson, 45, who was in Las Vegas this week shooting a music video, a chance to turn himself in and raise a $3 million bail.

But well after nightfall, the singer had yet to surrender and officials later said they expected Jackson to turn himself in on Thursday at one of the county's two jails -- the sheriff's headquarters in Santa Barbara or a smaller booking station in Santa Maria, closer to Jackson's home, the sprawling, children's theme park-like Neverland ranch.

District Attorney Thomas Sneddon said Jackson will be charged with multiple felony counts under a California law that defines molestation as "arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust, passions or sexual desires of" the offender or a child under age 14. Each charge carries a penalty of three to eight years in prison.

"In a very short period of time there will be charges filed against Mr. Jackson," Sheriff Jim Anderson said, acknowledging there was "always that potential" that Jackson could flee.

Throngs of reporters who gathered late in the evening at an airport near Santa Barbara saw a private jet, believed to be carrying Jackson, land and sit on the tarmac for more than an hour. The plane took off again for parts unknown without any passengers leaving the aircraft.

Jackson's spokesman on Wednesday called the allegations false, scurrilous and without foundation. "The outrageous allegations against Michael Jackson are false. Michael would never harm a child in any way. These scurrilous and totally unfounded allegations will be proven false in a courtroom," spokesman Stuart Backerman said.

Backerman said Jackson had made arrangements with the District Attorney in Santa Barbara to return to the city "to immediately confront and prove these charges unfounded." Jackson has hired celebrity attorney Mark Geragos to defend him. Geragos is currently defending accused wife killer Scott Peterson (news - web sites).

Police spent more than 14 hours searching and videotaping Neverland Ranch, just north of Santa Barbara in central California on Tuesday. Authorities declined to specify what they were looking for or to divulge other details about the allegations reportedly brought by a 12-year-old boy who said Jackson molested him.

SIMILAR ALLEGATIONS

Jackson was the subject of similar child molestation allegations 10 years ago by a 13-year-old boy. But criminal charges were never filed, and Jackson was never arrested, because the accuser declined to testify after Jackson reached a multimillion-dollar out-of-court civil settlement with the boy's family.

Sneddon told the news conference that the current case was different because "we have a cooperative victim in this particular proceeding." He also said the laws have been tightened up in the past decade because of the Jackson case, and added that there was a public feeling that the singer had evaded prosecution last time.

Jackson said in a statement on Tuesday that he was unaware of the nature of the current investigation and suggested that it had been deliberately timed to undermine the release of a new compilation of his greatest hits.

"These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released," Jackson said in the statement.

Sneddon dismissed Jackson's claims, saying the investigation had been underway for months.

"Jackson himself, I believe, has said this was all done to ruin his new CD that was coming ... like, the sheriff and I are really into that kind of music," Sneddon said.

With criminal charges pending against the singer, the CBS television network scrubbed its planned broadcast next week of a prime-time Jackson television special, which was to feature his latest single, "One More Chance."

It has been a tumultuous year for Jackson, whose talents as an entertainer have been eclipsed by his bizarre personal life. In February, he spoke in a British television documentary of sometimes sharing his Neverland bedroom with young boys.

In November last year, Jackson stunned fans in Berlin by dangling his barefoot baby from a hotel balcony. In June, he settled a $12 million breach of contract lawsuit by his former top advisor, avoiding a trial that threatened to expose details of his financial empire.

I think the plane is arriving in SB as I type. Hopefully it's MJ's plane. See CNN for details.

Michael Jackson Latest
By Key News
Nov 20, 2003, 13:14:00

Michael jackson is expected to turn himself in today.

However, a statement by the singer's lawyers state he will surrender at the time and place of his choosing.

An arrest warrant has been issued for the pop star on multiple accounts of child molestation after investigators raided his home and found many pictures if child star, McCauley Culkin.

The warrant was issued for a violation of a California penal code that prohibits lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14.

The King of Pop faces 3 to 8 years in prison per count.

A judge has set his bail at 3 million dollars.

A source close to the boy accusing Jackson says the boy claims he was given sleeping pills and wine by the singer twice.

A family lawyer says Jackson will fight these charges "tooth and nail."

Upon his surrender, authorities will ask Jackson to hand over his passport.
