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."

Speaking of Chicago djs, Roe and Garry are all over this right now. Roe does a great MJ voice too.

It's not letting me post a link, but just search for WLS radio in Chicago for anyone out of town who wants to listen, then follow the links.

He is so far ahead of her now that in her wildest dreams she could never catch up!

Lol, Gloria is taking on more "mainstream clients". I think at this point in time, the perfect match would be Geragos and George Felos...of the Terri Schiavo infamy...

[Miss Marple]

Gloria Alred on Fox NOW!!!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Is that an alert, or a warning? : ) (I turned it off when Shep said she was coming on. LOL)

[Miss Marple]

Well, I wanted Howlin to keep up with the Celebrity Death Match!!

[Carolinamom]

Allard says she sent letter to Social Services. Asked to respond about her, Jackson said "Tell her to go to hell." (FOX)

No, this is a white woman in on a black Big Wheels alert.

R. Kelly = Bob Kelly

Bob and wife Betsey Kelly owned Little Rascals, a preschool in Edenton, NC. It was one of the largest wave of child sexual abuse cases

This was disgusting. We lived in North Carolina at the time a few towns over. My husband, psychiatrist, ended up having some of these people as his patients.

The daycare was essentially run like a brothel. Too many big names were involved. Evidence was thrown into the Albemarle Sound....Files vanished...cover ups gallore. All the perps walked.

[Howlin]

Missed it......what did she say??

[Calpernia]

Ooops. Sorry on my part. I responded with another R. Kelly. Disregard my post.

Thanks Maggiefluff.

Gloria wants those kids removed from Jackson's custody. She said she has had multiple discussions with the DA over the situation. She is HOT, and Jackson will be lucky if Gloria doesn't organize a pitchfork and torch assault on Neverland.

Police are on the lookout for a white woman, wearing one glove and missing her nose.

Oh, poor Mikey ! The mean ole law enforcement people inconveniencing him so horribly when all he did was ... < /sarcasm > (Well, I just can't say it).

I hope there was NOT any 'settlement' on this. The last time Jackson was caught with his hand in the baby food jar, he paid the kid, what? ... $15 MILLION to not testify against him in the criminal charges ?

I hope the prosecutor has a good case this time ...

(I can't believe there isn't a Pedophile or child molestor bump register) ...

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX MON MARCH 03, 2003 16:52:09 ET XXXXX

Jordie Chandler's sex claim case never went to trial was in part because his family said they were intimidated, harassed, and threatened, not solely because they were paid reportedly in excess of $25 million.

At the time, Jackson had private detective Anthony Pellicano working for him. Pellicano was intimately involved in trying to negotiate with Jordie Chandler's father- whom he accused of extortion -- and in discrediting the accusers.

Orth tracked down reporter Victor Gutierrez in Chile, author of Michael Jackson Was My Lover: The Secret Diary of Jordie Chandler, who claims that Pellicano told him, "Consider yourself dead!"

Gutierrez says that after he was beat up on the street by three men, Pellicano stopped in his car and laughed. Pellicano was arrested by F.B.I. agents last November after they found explosives in his safe "strong enough to bring down an airplane." His lawyers declined to comment to Vanity Fair.


Impacting...
