A police report containing details about various books, magazines and documents seized from Michael Jackson’s residence in California show the Beat It singer’s attraction to children and liking for pornography.
The reports were posted by American gossip website Radar Online, and are supposedly a ‘never seen before’ proof that the allegations on the pop singer back in 1993 were true. Jackson was acquitted of the charges in 2005.
The documents were allegedly collected in a 2003 raid on Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. The police report states that though the documents were not considered illegal, “this type of material can be used as part of a ‘grooming’ process by which people (those seeking to molest children) are able to lower the inhibitions of their intended victims and facilitate the molestation of said victims.”
An unidentified investigator of the case told Radar Online:
The Santa Barbara Police Department released a statement to Billboard saying that the reports were evidently copies of the sheriff department reports along with content obtained online or through other sources, and that they had not released the reports to the media.
However, the authenticity of the reports was questioned by the estate of Michael Jackson in a statement, who called the reports ‘false’ and said that they coincided with the time of the singer’s death anniversary.
The late pop star’s nephew Tariano Adaryll Jackson II, also known as Taj Jackson, took to social media to condemn the media reports.
Jackson’s daughter also spoke out against the report on Twitter.
