Jackson home raided after claims

POLICE searched Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch in California yesterday following a sex abuse complaint from a 13-year-old boy.

Police refused to reveal the purpose of the raid but Court TV, which had a reporter at the scene, said it followed molestation allegations by the boy.

A Jackson spokesman told CNN the singer was not at the ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley outside Santa Barbara and the raid "came as a total surprise".
