Prosecutors Seized 'Erotic Material' from Jackson

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Prosecutors want to display "erotic materials" seized from pop star Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch at his child molestation trial, saying the books, magazines and videos reveal his motive in touching a young boy were sexual, court papers showed on Monday.

Details of the material that Santa Barbara County prosecutors want admitted at Jackson's trial were censored by Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville, who blacked out much of the documents and has imposed an unusual level of secrecy in the case.

"The people seek to introduce numerous ... books, videos and magazines seized on November 13, 2003 from the defendant's master bedroom suite at Neverland Valley Ranch, the video arcade and from a room adjoining the defendant's private office in a security building," District Attorney Tom Sneddon said in the papers.

A more precise description of the materials was blacked out by the judge.

"The people also seek to admit three hard-cover books and two photographs seized from the defendant's Neverland Ranch by the Los Angeles Police Department in August, 1993," the papers said.

Jackson's lawyers were expected to oppose the move during a hearing on Friday.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin on Monday, when hundreds of potential jurors are summoned to the courthouse in Santa Maria to determine if they can serve in a trial that could last for up to six months.

Jackson is charged in a 10-count indictment with lewd acts on a child under the age of 14 and conspiracy. The 46-year-old entertainer has pleaded not guilty.

In a separate case, a young boy accused Jackson of molesting him in 1993. Jackson and the boy's family settled that case out of court and no criminal charges were ever filed against the pop star.

Seriously though, if they're gonna prove his guilty of child molestation cause he's got porn, they better come and take me away while they're at it

I'd imagine the porn they took from Michael's house was kiddie porn?

Didn't say so, just says erotic material. And that the erotic material would "reveal his motive in touching a young boy were sexual"

I doubt they seized child pornography, the media definitely would have jumped all over that one.

well, I think they are dismissing the porn as evidence cause it was "straight". But I highly doubt that he would be that dumb to show kids kiddie porn.

I think the main focus was that the boy said he showed him the porn to arouse him, and that alone is a blow to MJ story cause the boy knows too much about MJ sexual preferences and interests. Now if a kid found his dads porno it's ok, but an "adult friends" porn is questionable cause if this kid was that personal with MJ, why didn't he keep the porn out of the kids view?

Hey I got little bros and sisters and i make sure that me and my fiances........."naughty stuff" is put up safely when they visit.
