SANTA BARBARA, CA — Recently obtained reports from the 2003 child molestation investigation of Michael Jackson reveal some very disturbing things about the late singer, according to Radar Online citing court documents.
Authorities raided Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in November 2003, and the search turned up collections of photos and videos of nude boys as well as gory images of animal sacrifice.
An investigator on the case told Radar Online, “The documents exposed Jackson as a manipulative, drug-and-sex-crazed predator who used blood, gore, sexually explicit images of animal sacrifice and perverse adult sex acts to bend children to his will.”
The source also said, “He also had disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, female bondage and sadomasochism.”
Jackson was later booked into the Santa Barbra County Jail and charged with child molestation, extortion, child abduction, false imprisonment and giving a minor an intoxicating agent. He was acquitted of those charges in 2005.
