Jackson wanted for child abuse
An arrest warrant has been issued for the pop superstar amid reports that a 12 or 13-year-old boy has made an allegation of sexual abuse against the singer.
The 45-year-old star could face up to eight years in prison on each count if convicted, according to officials. Jim Anderson, sheriff of Santa Barbara County in California, said bail had been set at $3 million. Sheriff Anderson told a press conference that 70 investigators from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department and Santa Barbara District Attorney’s office served a search warrant at the star’s Neverland ranch yesterday and spent all day searching the site.
