The report, which was previously unseen, says at least seven collections of images depicted boys in their teenage years – and some younger – naked or partially clothed in the musician’s bedroom.
Jackson’s home was raided by more than 70 members of the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office and Sheriff’s Department in November 2003 as part of a child sex abuse investigation.
Material was also found outside of his Vegas home at a storage unit following the issue of a warrant. Police were reportedly tipped off that the disgraced icon was attempting to hide the illegal material from investigators.
Included in the seizure were ‘notes, diaries, documents, photographs, audiotapes and videotapes’, plus computer hard drives.
Jackson was charged in 2003 with seven counts of child molestation and two counts of providing an intoxicant to a minor under the age of 14, but was cleared of all charges in June 2005.
It is alleged that the star – who could have faced up to 20 years in prison – paid out more than £100 million to silence as many as 20 victims of sexual assault.
