False claims are rare, psychologist tells Jackson trial

The psychologist who was the first to tell authorities about claims that Michael Jackson molested a 13-year-old boy testified at the star‘s trial today that it would be “extremely rare” for a child of that age to make a false allegation.

Stan Katz, one of the prosecution’s key witnesses, was prohibited by Judge Rodney Melville in Santa Maria, California, from testifying directly about the credibility of Jackson’s accuser, or whether he believes the molestation occurred.
