Youngsters still visit Neverland

Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial has not stemmed visits by youngsters to his Neverland ranch, his spokeswoman said.

While Jackson is in court, his staff regularly greet children who want to visit the singer’s amusement park of a home, said Raymone Bain.

“There are over 1,000 requests a month from organisations wanting to take children to Neverland,” Bain said outside the Santa Maria court.

Bain said Jackson does not have time to interact with the children and very rarely sees them. She said one exception was around the holidays when he made a point of meeting children when they arrived.

Bain also denied reports last week that Neverland staff were threatening to walk out because Jackson has not paid them.
