Arrest warrant for Jackson By James Langton in New York, Evening Standard

An arrest warrant has been issued for Michael Jackson over new allegations of child abuse.

US police were reported to have been ready to handcuff the singer and take him into custody when they raided his Neverland Ranch in California.

According to TV reports, they were unable to serve the warrant because Jackson and his three children were in Las Vegas.

Investigators are expected to spend a second day at the estate, investigating claims of child molestation, believed to involve a boy of 12 or 13.

After arriving with a search warrant yesterday, more than 60 officers from the Santa Barbara County sheriff 's department spent the day gathering evidence for what was described as "an ongoing criminal investigation".

Police remain tight-lipped about the allegations which were made in a sealed court affidavit. They arrived in a caravan of vehicles including an ambulance, mobile crime laboratory and a portable lavatory.

The investigation is headed by district attorney Thomas Sneedon, who examined earlier claims of child abuse by Jackson in 1993.

Although Jackson avoided prosecution, he later made a multi-million-dollar outofcourt settlement to 14-year-old Jordy Chandler who claimed he had been molested by the singer during sleepovers at the mansion.

The two cases are said to be unrelated, although police say the first case still remains open.

One report said the boy in the latest allegations had been talking to prosecutors for several weeks and may also have tried to reach a settlement.

Police say they will hold a press conference later today. Jackson was staying at the Mirage hotel in Las Vegas at the time of the raid, recording a video. His new greatest hits CD, Number Ones, was released yesterday.

Jackson's attorney Brian Oxman confirmed: "The Santa Barbara Sheriff 's Department did issue an arrest warrant. They will be working through myself to negotiate a surrender."

In a rambling statement released by the lawyer, Jackson, 45, said: "I've seen lawyers who do not represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released."

He promised to cooperate with the investigation.

His friend, Uri Geller, said he was "very concerned" about the singer, adding: "He is very gullible and he is naive. I believe he is innocent."

They claim to have some "exclusive" information about what started the investigation.

Michael is just ahead of the curve by a few years. Now that sodomy isn't a problem its just a matter of time before we can shed our neanderthol thinking and accept that children can have rich loving physical relationships with adults also.

in the meanwhile, the poor black boy who became a rich white woman is about to drown out the rats message in the upcoming election. This ought to make the coverage of the OJ case look tame.

I have virtually no doubt that

1. Jackson is guilty.

2. Jackson believes he has done nothing at all wrong, in any sense of the word.

Take him quickly. If he thinks he's cornered, he's likely an even greater danger to children around him.

Heard a little while ago on Fox a comment by a noted PI named Ernie Rizzo, who said that there's probably a connection between Anthony Pellicano going to jail a day or so ago, and all this coming out now.

Rizzo said he thinks Pellicano flipped, since he was working for MJ for years, and has tons of info on MJ.

Rizzo also called MJ the king of pedophiles.

I've heard several people say exactly the same thing; that the pedophiles are going to follow the same pattern as the homosexuals in seeking acceptance. In other nations, the age of consent is as low as 12 years of age - the child molesters want the same here in the U.S.

There's a global age of consent chart at AgeOfConsent.com.

You're quite correct about the news coverage aspect, too - this *will* make the O.J. trial seem like a half-hour of Judge Judy.

Ernie was on Mancow's morning madhouse radio show this AM here in Chi-town. (the show is nationally syndicated) The show is really over the top, free speech radio network and all...they were off the hook with this case this AM.
Ernie said that MJ is the perfect pedofile..the King of pedofiles.

He said something very like that on Court TV yesterday, and the hosts were doing their best to shut him up.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Michael Jackson over new allegations of child abuse.

Well, the police will have to wait until Michael Jackson gets back home from shopping.

He's at Kmart which is having a pre-Thanksgiving sale.

Boys pants are half off.
