LOS OLIVOS, Calif. (AP) -- Investigators conducting a criminal probe swarmed Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch on Tuesday. The purpose of the search was not disclosed.
........
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.
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.''.
...........
Jackson 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 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.
...........
Jackson has appeared weak and ghostly pale at many of his recent public appearances, and his own attorneys have said has been involved in nearly 1,000 lawsuits.
........
When he did finally testify, he giggled during questioning and made comical faces at people in the courtroom.
Nothing wrong with him. Nope, not a thing
