Michael Jackson’s activities at Neverland Ranch are back in the news this week amid the disclosure of documents suggesting the King of Pop kept a stash of pornography there. The issue of pornography first arose about a decade ago when Jackson was on trial on molestation charges.
At the time, Santa Barbara County prosecutors described Neverland as a fantasy world that Jackson built to lure young boys, who he then “groomed” with alcohol and pornography before molesting them. Jackson was acquitted in that case. He died in 2009. Now, Radar Online has published what appear to be case documents as well as pornographic images that were purportedly among items Jackson used to lure children.
Jackson’s estate blasted the release of the documents, stating that fans of the late singer prefer to remember his talents rather than having to “see his good name dragged through the mud by tabloid trash.
“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.Those who continue to shamelessly exploit Michael via sleazy internet ‘click bait’ ignore that he was acquitted by a jury in 2005 on every one of the 14 salacious charges brought against him in a failed witch hunt.”
The police report claims that in Jackson’s bedroom and bathroom alone there were at least seven collections of work found by investigators that show boys in their teenage years – and in some cases younger – fully unclad or partially clothed.
One of the collections, Taormina Wilhelm Von Gloeden, is described in court papers as: ‘unclad photos of teenage boys from late 1800s.’

The search of the home occurred in November of that year while Jackson was in Las Vegas, with 70 members of the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office and Sheriff’s Department turning up to the residence.
An arrest warrant had been issued at that time as well, and Jackson later turned himself into police when he returned to California.
Radar Online first obtained the police report and court papers, and an investigator on the case told them: ‘
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.He also had disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, female bondage and sadomasochism.’
The report states that many of the materials featuring unclad men and women in the home could be used for the purpose of trying to attract young men or boys.
