Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was raided in 2003 as part of the investigation following allegations of child molestation against the singer. Now, a new report claims that an unearthed police report from those raiders reveals that the late pop megastar had disturbing and possibly criminal sexual materials in his home.

According to RadarOnline, never-before-seen reports from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department “notes, diaries, documents, photographs, audiotapes and videotapes" were among the materials seized.

“The documents collected by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department paint a dark and frightening picture of Jackson,” an investigator in the case reportedly told Radar. “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,” said the source.

“He also had disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, female bondage and sadomasochism.”

Former Santa Barbara Senior Assistant District Attorney Ron Zonen, who helped prosecute Jackson, told Radar: “A lot of this stuff was used to desensitize the children, and Michael admitted taking one child after another into bed with him for long periods of time.

“We identified five different boys, who all made allegations of sexual abuse,” continued Zonen. “There’s not much question in my mind that Michael was guilty of child molestation.”

It should be noted that all of the quotes in Radar's piece are either unnamed sources or prosecutors; no direct statements from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department. However, the Boombox reached out to the SBSD for a statement.

The official statement from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department is as follows:

Some of the documents appear to be copies of reports that were authored by Sheriff’s Office personnel as well as evidentiary photographs taken by Sheriff’ Office personnel interspersed with content that appears to be obtained off the internet or through unknown sources.   The Sheriff’s Office did not release any of the documents and/or photographs to the media.  The Sheriff’s Office released all of its reports and the photographs as part of the required discovery process to the prosecution and the defense.

 

The documents with a header titled Sheriff’s Department that contain a case number appear to be Sheriff’s Office documents.  The photos that are interspersed appear to be some evidentiary photos taken by Sheriff’s investigators and others are clearly obtained from the internet.
