Jackson may have had a sickening collection.
Authorities discovered stockpiles of child pornography and lewd images of animal torture at Michael Jackson’s residence at Neverland Ranch, but didn’t disclose those findings to the general public according to a recently published report. Radar Online has now released an 88 page dossier of disturbing images and documents, which somehow never crossed into public view until early this morning. The lurid evidence appears to have been collected during a 2003 raid by police of the Neverland Ranch. Jackson was acquitted of wrongdoing in 2005, just one of several court battles involving allegations of child molestation.
The discovery puts the spotlight on the Santa Barbara Country Sheriff’s Office, which appears to be the organization in charge of the raid, would have known about the existence of such material, and responsible for its handling. The Office has not yet responded to an inquiry by Digital Music News, though the group offered a vague comment to Vanity Fair:
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’s 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.
Why these lurid images and documents are only coming to light in 2016, more than 13 years after the raid and subsequent court battles, is anyone’s guess.
