Just what was found during the two police raids of Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch?.
Today we look at some of the evidence that could possibly point to Michael Jackson having a prurient interest in nude boys.
Neverland was an absolutely beautiful place from the outside, but what kind of man was living inside it? After Michael Jackson was accused of molesting a then 13-year-old Jordan Chandler, the police moved quickly to raid Michael Jackson's Neverland home to search and seize items that could possibly point to Michael Jackson having a sexual interest in children. Even though Jackson would have known a search was most likely in 1993 and its even rumoured that he was tipped off that a search of his Neverland Ranch was imminent by somebody inside the Los Angeles Police Department, still many questionable items were found.
Below I will take you through some of the items that were found.
From the 93 search.

Was it obvious from the beginning that MJ had no interest in women?
Shortly after the death of Michael Jackson, biographer Ian Halperin released a book claiming that the former pop star was indeed a homosexual that dressed up as a woman to go and meet men for homosexual activities.
Dr. Arnold Klein the former dermatologist to Michael Jackson, also came out shortly after his death and said Michael Jackson was in a homosexual relationship with his assistant Jason Pfeiffer.
News reports claimed that two of Michaels sisters Janet, and La Toya Jackson believe he died a virgin or at least they believe he never had sexual intercourse with a woman.
Are these claims true? Who knows for sure, but lets take a closer look at the beginning of Michael Jackson's adult life.
Despite being in the music industry, where Michael Jackson would have been surrounded by many beautiful females from dancers to musicians, Michael went through his entire 20s, without a single long-term female partner (or at least we never knew of any).
When Michael was in his early 20s, he was touring with his brothers in United Kingdom, instead of meeting and hooking up females, he met a young boy named Terry George, who he exchanged telephone numbers with. Terry and Michael would ring each other for several months until Terry claimed the pop star started masturbating on the phone and asked him if he did the same. Whether true or not this is all very strange. Why was a twentysomething Michael Jackson telephoning young boys instead of exchanging phone numbers with females and talking dirty with them?
Michael Jackson: The dark side of the star
Michael Jackson was a huge star but he also had a dark side that even in death cannot be forgotten.
Nicknamed the "King of Pop" after the global success of "Thriller" and "Bad", the singer was more commonly known by the nickname of "Wacko Jacko" in the last 20 years of his life because of his taste for the company of unrelated boys and his friendship with a chimpanzee named Bubbles, building a theme park in his backyard, and his countless plastic surgery operations that changed his appearance from a handsome black man into a ? Well I'll let you fill in the blanks.
The evolution of the color of Jackson's skin (which according to the singer was caused by a rare pigmentation condition) - habit of wearing a surgical masks in public and even covering the faces of his children with various different masks and veils and endangering the life of one them by dangling him from a hotel balcony in Germany succeeded in making the international pop singer more than strange.
After two cases of molestation against underage boys, which allegedly took place at Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch in Santa Barbara California in 1993 and a decade later in 2003. The first case was settled with a huge $25,000,000 settlement after the child (Jordan Chandler) described unique discoloration (markings) on Jackson's penis and testicles. The second case went to court in 2005, which lasted approximately six months. Despite the jury hearing lots of incriminating evidence against Jackson they felt they couldn't convict him beyond reasonable doubt and Michael Jackson was free to continue his life, but many people still felt that Michael Jackson escaped by the skin of his teeth and even 2 jury members later came out and said they regretted acquitting him and only did so because they felt pressured by the other jury members.
Did Michael Jackson fit the profile of a pedophile?
Well let's find out shall we?
When people think of a pedophile, they have the image of a creepy looking old man wearing a rain jacket who hides in bushes outside of schools ready to kidnap children and do terrible things to them. While there are pedophiles, who hide in bushes and kidnap children the truth is 99% of them don't. Most pedophiles are normal looking and can be of any age and any gender. Pedophiles put on a fake front and present themselves to be kind and loving people who would never harm a child (this is how they usually gain access to children). Most pedophiles even go to great lengths to convince themselves that they are not bad people and are not harming children.
Below we look at some of the key characteristics that pedophiles often fit.
Characteristics of a Pedophile :
Pedophiles always appear to be nice guys who are trustworthy and respectable and have a good standing in their community.
Pedophiles can be any age and gender but are usually males and are over the age of 30.
Pedophiles are usually single with little or no sexual relationships with the opposite sex.
If a pedophile is married it is usually more "companion" based with no sexual relations.
Pedophiles usually have an excessive interest in children:
How much interest is excessive? If an adult has an excessive interest in other people's children and wants to be around them a lot this should raise suspicion. This is not by itself proof that somebody is a pedophile, but it is a good reason to be suspicious and this becomes even more significant when combined with other characteristics found here.
