Jacko 'seen in oral sex with boy'
The Australian ^ | 4/8/2005 | Staff Writers

From correspondents in Santa Maria, California

A FORMER security guard at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch has claimed he saw the star kissing, fondling and performing oral sex on a young boy in the 1990s.

Ex-guard Ralph Chacon told the superstar's child molestation trial in California that he saw the alleged incident when he peeked through a bathroom window one evening in late 1992 or early 1993.

The then 13-year-old boy involved in the alleged assault won a 1994 out-of-court settlement from Jackson in a deal that ensured his silence and averted a criminal trial.

Mr Chacon, who left Jackson's employment on bad terms in 1994, said he first saw the star and the boy in a Jacuzzi in a building near Neverland's amusement arcade, but the two got out and headed to the shower together.

Feeling something was amiss, the guard said he peeked through a window to see what was going on and saw Jackson and the boy standing naked together in the lighted bathroom.

"I was thinking, 'what's going on in there? Grown man in the shower with a boy' ... it wasn't right," he told trial jurors, who could jail Jackson for up to 20 years if he is convicted in the present case against him.

"I saw Mr Jackson caressing the boy's hair, he was kissing him," he said, adding that Jackson kissed the boy on various areas of his body.

He then told the court in the town of Santa Maria, where Jackson is on trial for allegedly molesting a 13-year-old boy two years ago, of the alleged incident of oral sex.

The former security guard, whom Jackson's lawyer said had lost a lawsuit he filed against the star for alleged wrongful dismissal, also recalled other incidents in which he claimed he saw Jackson kissing and touching the boy.

He said that on one occasion the kissing was "not long, but passionate".

Mr Chacon, who first mentioned the alleged assaults under oath in 1994, said he did not immediately report the incident to authorities as he did not think anyone would believe him. "Who would believe me?" he asked.

Legal analysts following the case said the testimony would deal a major blow to Jackson's defence as it was likely to make an impression on jurors.

The pop icon's mother, Katherine, left the courtroom shortly before the graphic testimony began, and some fans of the embattled superstar cried in the public gallery as they heard the account.

But Jackson's lead lawyer Thomas Mesereau immediately moved to limit the damage from Mr Chacon's testimony.

He pointed out that the former security guard, who worked for Jackson from 1991 to 1994, had lost a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the star and had been ordered to pay Jackson $US1.5 million ($1.95m) in damages and legal costs after his lawsuit was ruled fraudulent and malicious.

In the lawsuit, Mr Chacon had sought $US16 million ($20.8m) in damages from Jackson, Mr Mesereau said.

"You tried to extort Mr Jackson, right?" he asked the witness before he was interrupted by an objection from prosecutors.

Relatives of the now 25-year-old boy involved in the alleged incident have said he will not testify at Jackson's trial.

While Jackson has never faced criminal charges in connection with previous alleged acts of molestation, Judge Rodney Melville has allowed prosecutors to tell jurors of five unproved claims against the star in order to show a possible pattern of child abuse.

The star has denied 10 counts in the case against him, including molestation, plying the boy with alcohol and plotting to keep him and his family captive at Neverland.

A little contradictory aren't you. If nothing happened why should the mother be thrown in prison.

I'm talking about the twisted serial-blackmailing mother of the accuser.

Michael Jackson will be whisked off to Marlon Brando's island in the dark of night, (even without a passport), never to set foot in the US again.

Jerry Rivers, AKA Geraldo seems to be in love with Michael Jackson for some strange reason. He did the same thing with Bill Clinton during the impeachment hearings, but it got to the point where he could no longer defend the indefensible but he continued to do so and became a pariah to many people. He seems not to have learned his lesson here either.

don't you know that its a tradition here on FR for many freepers to disbelieve anybody who would dare accuse a Hollywood star, an athlete, a rich person, or a famed comedian, among others...

simply, people don't want to believe anything bad about their "heroes"....

fortunately, I have no heros.....

My heroes are my husband who endured cancer surgery and subsequent treatment, my daughter who was my rock and salvation during it all and my son who was serving his country in the US Army at the time.

Begs the question: why didn't he do something about it then, to spare the boy the humiliation/crime/assault?

He sees MJ and the boy in the shower (and it may or may not have been as described).

He tells MJ or one of his handlers that he wants $$$$ or he will tell.

They tell him he's fired.

He files the lawsuit for being fired.

He loses bigtime.

Now he's telling.

Pretty simple.

I never liked the phrase about money as the root of all evil. I always thought that was used mainly by leftists -- they want to attack a productive economy, while they hide the evil motives behind their lust for power and dominance

That is because it is commonly misquoted.

The phrase is "THE LUST FOR MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL"

But answer me this: MJ already KNEW that he would be a target after having to pay out the millions to earlier accusers. Why would he ever put himself in that position again?

Hey, I don't get putting myself in that position in the first place, so its a tough question for someone else to anwer. I'm guessing that he lives such an insular life he really didn't grasp the situation he was in.

So you think that MJ sleeping with young boys is beautiful, not sexual?

And when exactly did you stop beating your wife?

He's undoubtedly guilty of terminal wierdness. However, that doesn't make him guilty of child molestation, and a lot of the witnesses against him are very dubious characters. Exactly. I don't get anybody doing the weird makeover stuff to themselves that he's done. He's obviously in another world, so I can't really put myself in his place.

But as you say, terminal weirdness is not the same as child molestation. I don't spend my time following this stuff, but the little I've gathered is that the accuser's family, particularly his mother, is the type of witness no self-respecting lawyer would call unless he had no choice. And this security guard...wow.

If Jackson is guilty, I hope they turn him over to Bubba in the pen. But cripe, if MJ really was this perverted, you think you'd have had so much of this stuff that it wouldn't be hard to get a decent witness or two. These people seem to be almost as big mutants as he is. And it is such a horrible crime that a false accusation is truly a horrible thing.

I hope you're right, but I think the defense has the jury "packed" and no way will they convict.

I've had the feeling that he may "leave the planet" before the trial is over. IE: Intentionally assume room temperature.

Pretty simple.

I understand all that. What I'm saying is why, out of common human decency, didn't he go in and stop or at least interrupt someone---anyone, I don't care if he's famous or not---hell-bent on Lewinskying a minor child?
