Ex-child star ordered to testify in Jackson case

FORMER child star Corey Feldman, who claims Michael Jackson showed him nude photographs as a teenager, has been ordered to testify against the singer in court.

Feldman, best known for his role in the Goonies, became very close to Jackson and spent two nights at his Neverland ranch.

In an interview with Martin Bashir, screened on ABC News in the US last night, the actor said speaking out had finally become a responsibility and a duty.

Feldman, 33, describes an encounter at Jackson’s home when they stopped there on the way to Disneyland.

“We went to his apartment, and I noticed a book that he had out on his coffee table. The book contained pictures of grown men and women naked. And the book was focused on venereal diseases and the genitalia,” he said.

Feldman claims the singer sat and explained the photos to him.

“I was kind of grossed out by it,” he adds. “I didn’t think of it as a big deal. And for all these years, I probably never thought twice about it.”

He said he hopes the allegations against Jackson are proved false, but that he had felt compelled to speak out.
