Police roughed me up, says Jackson

MICHAEL JACKSON said he suffered a dislocated shoulder when he was handcuffed during his arrest on child sex abuse charges.

“It’s hurting me very badly,” Jackson told the CBS 60 Minutes programme in an interview broadcast in the US on Sunday night.

“I’m in pain all the time.” The star denied the charges against him and said he still believes it’s acceptable to have children sleep in his bed. Jackson, 45, is charged with seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent.
