Normally, after the police serve a search warrant on a location, an itemized list of what has been confiscated is released to the public. But nothing about the Michael Jackson case has been "normal" — not during the investigation, which began in 1993, and not during the most current case, which started in 2003.
Most of the Jackson search-warrant returns have been heavily redacted, leaving the public to guess what kind of "books, magazines, videos and DVDs" were taken from Neverland Ranch.
Now, Court TV's Investigative Unit can reveal some of the specifics.
One of the books confiscated from Jackson's home in 1993 is entitled "The Boy: A Photographic Essay." According to child erotica connoisseurs on the Internet, this rare book is considered to be "a homoerotic classic." The book, published in 1964, contains dozens of photographs of nude prepubescent boys, many in suggestive poses. There are nude boys captured outdoors, nude boys who appear to be posing for the camera, and boys displaying full frontal nudity.
Dr. Patricia Farrell, who has worked with pedophiles and their victims, studied the book for Court TV and concluded, "I think that this book could be used as a vehicle in a plan for seduction." Dr. Farrell said the photos in the book are perfect ammunition for a pedophile to use to begin a dialogue with a potential victim.
"It's to introduce that whole sexual kind of atmosphere," Dr. Farrell explained. "Then you can begin to use [it] and go on from there. You know, it's like going through a maze [for the molester]. They don't go through directly to the target — you go this way and that way to get to the target."
Retired NYPD sex crimes investigator Joe Gelfand, who worked in the pedophile unit for 12 years along with associates from the FBI, also studied the book. In his opinion, the coffee-table-size tome "is geared for people who, I would say, would be sexually attracted to adolescent boys." Asked if he considered it a pornographic book, Gelfand told Court TV, "I've made any arrests in my day and many times we've seen photographs like this in the homes of pedophiles. It's not sexually explicit, but it is erotica. It is child erotica."
In addition to the book, CTV's I-Unit can confirm that investigators from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department also confiscated loads of pornographic material from various locations in Jackson's home. (Watch the video for a full list.)
Porn movies with titles like "Barely Legal" and "Pimp Up, Ho's Down" were taken from the entertainer's master bedroom. Pornographic materials were found in Jackson's master bathroom, his den and in a second-floor closet, as well.
Other law enforcement sources explained that it is important to understand the atmosphere in which a book like this is discovered. If it is found in the possession of someone who collects books on photography, that's one thing. If it is found among a collection of pornography, that might indicate that detectives were dealing with a pedophile.
The I-Unit can confirm that when the book was confiscated, pornography was found, too. Search warrants list numerous porn magazines, movies, photographs and books that were taken as evidence.
Both Dr. Farrell and Investigator Gelfand call the discovery of mostly heterosexual pornographic magazines significant, because many molesters of young boys use such material to excite and stimulate their prey.
"The pedophile may think that the adolescent boy ... will probably be excited to see these magazines, more so than, say, magazines involving naked men," Gelfand said.
Michael Jackson and his attorneys have consistently said that Jackson is not guilty of the charges against him.
"He would never harm a child," his team has repeated many times. In the courtroom in Santa Maria, Calif., lead defense attorney Tom Mesereau has indicated they will present evidence at trial that proves the young accuser at the center of the current case (and his brother) helped themselves to Jackson's pornography collection —without the entertainer's permission.
That could explain how the boy's fingerprints got on a copy of a magazine called "Barely Legal." Sources tell Court TV forensic tests found both the boy's prints, as well as Jackson's fingerprints, on the same magazine.
"The book, published in 1964, contains dozens of photographs of nude prepubescent boys, many in suggestive poses..."
"I'm bad. You know it..."
I must agree with him. And his sister's not a nice girl either. What a sick family.
He's not man enough...
What's next? DNA tests on the pages when they get them unstuck?
"...and found that milk is a masking agent for Date Rape Drugs."
Hm. Some pedophile creep used to give me hot lemon juice a lot. I never considered that he might have been drugging it until now. But now that I recall, he never let me watch him prepare it. And, he tried to do junk to me. I was a pretty strong kid, but still young. By the grace of God, he didn't want to get into a fight with me.
Lemon juice turns most drugs into the citrate form - enhancing their uptake by the body. GHB is the most common one used for many years - do a Google search for any trip reports about it. I sincerely hope you don't find anything similar.

Yeah...good...that's the ticket!
LOL
You're right. It does seem unlikely and out of character and completely hard to believe.
Not.
I'll be the first to decry Diane Diamond rushing to print with bogus information if this turns out to be false, but I am willing to bet we will learn this garbage was in fact found at that funhouse he calls "home".
Or .. they show the pictures of the little boys to other little boys as a way of proving that IT'S OKAY - SEE .. OTHER BOYS DO IT .. that type of thing.
I'll never be convinced Jackson is anything but a child molester!
"He is innocent until proven guilty."
He's been proven guilty time and time again. He admitted to sleeping in the bed with children and he has pictures of naked children in his house. Guilt is something metaphysical, and not something dished out by the courts. If he dies before the trial concludes, will God look at him and say, "You know, you were never actually convicted - come on through!" If God exists, the answer would be no. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a nice policy, but a guilty person is never innocent simply because it hasn't yet been proven. If he gets off this time, he should avoid dark alleys.
"...enhancing their uptake by the body..."
Very interesting. It didn't do enough to mess me up. I was raised to handle that kind of thing, thank God. My mother did a heck of a job raising me. I'll go thank her.
"I'll never be convinced Jackson is anything but a child molester!"
If this turns out to not be a hoax report, I will AGREE 100%. Assuming this is correct, no jail time will be enough. He needs the death penalty, along with every other NAMBLA-type creep.
"If he gets off this time, he should avoid dark alleys."
Assuming this report is correct...
He might resort to an insanity plea. Innocent by reason of insanity? Forget it. NO MERCY. I want no mercy for this creep. NONE! That would not be justice. People need to learn, if they are odd, they need to get help BEFORE doing things like he's accused of, NOT AFTER the damage is done.
This man failed his country. He failed anyone who looked up to him. He failed his family. He threw everything away, thinking he was somehow worth the abuse of those little boys. That's a pretty high opinion to have of oneself. NO MERCY!
"Pimp's Up, Ho's Down" is hardly a porn movie. Ain't nutin wrong with Mr. Whitefolks.
Lets face reality. As they approach the end of the case...and he knows he can't win...he will commit suicide. He can't survive in prison...he doesn't have the guts to make it past the first day. This guy has spent his vast fortune...and relies on his yearly pay-out on past songs. He is spending at a vast rate...well over $10 million a month...and the empire is simply sinking. My guess is that you are looking at the last days of MJ.
There was word that another surrogate has had twins for him, but they are being kept "under" the radar until the trial is over.
I am afraid he is breeding his own little victims.
What is the matter with theses women that would
1) carry a child for this freak
2) then turn the child over and have no more contact with them
Do they understand what the abandonment does to their little minds and hearts.. and do they care what the freak is doing to them mentally or physically ?
The kids should be removed from him and NEVER send back to their gold digging natural mothers.. let them be placed for adoption
God help those babies
I agree. I liked the Jackson five
To think that when I was in college, I envied him.
He had it all, money, talent, a vast following, women (or so I thought).....
Now he'd probably sell his entire empire to simply be ordinary old Laz, the Senior Systems Analyst and just regular old folk.
And the best part of being me? My nose doesn't melt off in the sun, like his does.
BUT Sponge Bob (who is really not "gay", really)says that children must take the acceptance pledge which says we have to accept the sexual orientation of people! BUT Sponge Bob demands acceptance of WHATEVER our friends are doing!
I wonder how the "We are Family" organization materials will be used by pedophiles. Say didn't michael jackson sing in "we are the world"? Is not the "We are Family" organization using the same song? why yes they are...
I hope they nail this guy. This has gone on far too long.
