Police reports paint Michael Jackson as 'sex-crazed predator'

Los Angeles - Police reports paint Michael Jackson as a "sex-crazed predator".

A number of seized items taken from Michael's Neverland ranch in Santa Barbara County, California after he was accused of child sex abuse in a 2003 investigation reportedly show "a dark and frightening picture of Jackson".

An investigator on the case told RadarOnline.com: "[The items] paint a dark and frightening picture of Jackson. The documents exposed Jackson as a manipulative, drug and sex-crazed predator who used blood, gore, sexually explicit images of animal sacrifice and perverse adult sex acts to bend children to his will.

"He also had disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, female bondage and sadomasochism."

The Billie Jean hitmaker was acquitted in 2005 after being charged with seven counts of child molestation and two counts of giving an intoxicant to a minor.

One of the items collected from his home includes a photograph of a young child holding a goose, whilst a book called 'Room To Play' was also found, which includes a picture of a dead child with a rope around her neck.

And former Santa Barbara Senior Assistant District Attorney Ron Zonen, who was part of the team who tried to prosecute Michael, claims the items found were used to "desensitise" children.

He said: "A lot of this stuff was used to desensitise the children, and Michael admitted taking one child after another into bed with him for long periods of time.

"We identified five different boys, who all made allegations of sexual abuse. There's not much question in my mind that Michael was guilty of child molestation."
