Michael Jackson visits orphanage in Tokyo

Michael Jackson visited an orphanage in Tokyo today in one of the pop star’s first public appearances since his acquittal last June on child molestation charges in the US.

After weaving through dozens of screaming adult fans who waited outside the orphanage in downtown Tokyo, Jackson was ushered into a gymnasium where more than 160 children aged from 3 years to 18 years and nuns in grey uniforms anxiously waited for the celebrity visit.
