Pop superstar Michael Jackson could be in custody by the end of the day.

CBS News Correspondent Steve Futterman reports the Santa Barbara, Calif., district attorney confirms he is ready to arrest Jackson on child molestation charges. The sheriff's office said it has an arrest warrant and was negotiating with Jackson's attorney for his surrender. Jackson is currently in Las Vegas.

The warrant charges Jackson with "lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14."

"We were told that his attorneys and the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office were in the process of working something out where he would be turning himself in," Las Vegas police spokesman Jose Montoya told CBS radio station KNX's Gail Eichenthal. The surrender most likely would be in Santa Barbara, Montoya said, because it's a local warrant.

Who has the children? Why have they not been taken from this man(?).

[No Blue States]

Put him in a cell with convicts who were molested as kids.

[EggsAckley]

Three million bail. And he has to turn in his passport.

[since1868]

This will only stop when stupid parents stop dropping there kids off at Neverland. Or they put him in jail for life.

[CAPPSMADNESS]

But the question is: Is ANYBODY surprised??

He should have been locked up years ago IMO.

[EggsAckley]

Three to eight years jaily time.

[billorites]

Best be Moon-Walking towards Mexico, Michael.

[sirchtruth]

288(a) Now we all know what he is accused of doing!

[EggsAckley]

[msmagoo]

Multiple counts under California Penal Code Section 288(a), lewd or lascivious acts with a child under age 14.

Funny! But I sure as heck hope nobody recognizes the kid in that t-shirt if this is a Photo-Shop'd product.

[OldEagle]

Now that Pelicano is out of the way, perhaps witnesses will come forward???

[No Blue States]

Talk about your dream prison bitch.......

If I were Jacko, I'd be on the first private pocket rocket to Borneo, and then take a below radar sea plane to some south pacific island which is run by tribal guys in thongs and a bone thru their nose known for canibalism. I'd claim I was a God(hence the appearance), and mandate they kill and eat any person/s asking questions about "Jacko God Tiki".

Don't moonwalk back......ever!

[No Blue States]

"shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for three, six, or eight years."

Unless you are very rich. :(
