"He is greatly outraged by the bringing of these charges "
Jackson, in a statement Tuesday, noted that the allegations surfaced the same day a new greatest hits CD, "Number Ones," was released, but the district attorney dismissed any connection His attorney is also the defense attorney in the Laci Peterson murder case
Sneddon told the news conference multiple counts would be filed against Jackson "in a very short period of time," and noted that no civil case has been filed and none is expected, unlike 1993 He considers this to be a big lie
The 45-year-old King of Pop, his hands cuffed behind his back, entered the Santa Barbara County main jail shortly after noon, accompanied by defense attorney Mark Geragos, who said earlier he arranged the surrender
But Brian Oxman, who has been an attorney for the Jackson family for years but is not directly representing Michael Jackson in this case, told CBS that the case involves the alleged molestation of a 12-year-old boy at Neverland Ranch, the storybook playground where the singer has been known to hold sleepover parties with children He looks forward to getting into a courtroom as opposed to any other forum and confronting these accusations head on A caravan of cars left the hangar shortly afterward advised Jackson at a news conference broadcast worldwide Wednesday
A private jet carrying Jackson landed at the Santa Barbara airport shortly before noon and rolled its nose into the partly opened doors of a hangar
"Like the sheriff and I are really into that kind of music," Sneddon said Michael is innocent," he said Thursday I tuck them in We had an incredible, wonderful childhood," he said
"He's come back specifically to confront these charges head on," Geragos said said earlier outside the jail
He waved to reporters, flashed a V-sign and climbed into a black Suburban that drove away with an escort of three sheriff's motorcycle officers
Sneddon said this case was different because he had a cooperative victim and because of a change in state law "specifically because of the 1993-94 Michael Jackson investigation" that allows lawsuits related to criminal cases to be blocked
Authorities did not identify the locations but the Santa Barbara News-Press reported Thursday that they were film and video-related businesses in suburban Santa Barbara and Beverly Hills
Jackson had left North Las Vegas Airport aboard a leased jet late Thursday morning heading for Santa Barbara Municipal Airport Jackson Surrenders on Molestation Charges
Nov 20, 4:48 PM EST
A handcuffed Michael Jackson walked into the Santa Barbara jail on Thursday to face child molestation charges that could destroy the pop superstar's career and send him to prison for years
A family friend, Steve Manning, told ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday that Jackson's family came to Las Vegas to support him Authorities announced Wednesday that an arrest warrant alleging child molestation had been issued
In a documentary broadcast on ABC earlier this year, Jackson said he had slept in a bed with many children Citing county sources, the newspaper said investigators seized m many videotapes and photographs of Jackson with children
"I'm here to tell you today, Michael has given me the authority to say on his behalf these charges are categorically untrue
The singer had international hits with the albums "Thriller" (1982), "Bad" (1987) and "Dangerous" (1991), but saw his career begin to dim after the 1993 allegations It's very charming, it's very sweet
"Get over here and get checked in," District Attorney Thomas W "
Jermaine Jackson angrily defended his brother in an interview with CNN
"My brother is not eccentric "And what they're doing is bringing him down with the very thing that he loved
Sneddon would not say when or where the alleged crimes took place or how old the child was
"The whole family supports Michael 100 percent, 1,000 percent Jackson had maintained his innocence but reportedly paid a multimillion-dollar civil settlement, and the child would not testify in any criminal proceeding "These scurrilous and totally unfounded allegations will be proven false in a courtroom The jet was said to be carrying Jackson, his family and a bodyguard "When you say `bed,' you're thinking sexual," he said in the interview
Jackson left after posting bail, which was set at $3 million in a warrant "
Jackson is charged by the state with lewd or lascivious acts with a child under age 14, punishable by three to eight years in prison, law enforcement officials said "He feels he's been wrongly accused and he's going to fight this tooth and nail," Manning said Sneddon Jr
"Michael would never harm a child in any way," Jackson spokesman Stuart Backerman said in a statement "
Earlier Thursday, Geragos confirmed that the surrender was being arranged in Santa Barbara, where throngs of camera crews and news reporters awaited his arrival He said an affidavit outlining the details will be sealed for 45 days
Jackson had been in Las Vegas filming a music video when dozens of law enforcement agents swarmed his Neverland Ranch compound near Santa Barbara on Tuesday to serve a search warrant He understands the people who are outraged, because if these charges were true, I assure you Michael would be the first to be outraged "He's at war right now and he's going to use any weapon he has to fight these charges
Sheriff's and district attorney's investigators on Tuesday raided the ranch and two other locations in Southern California in search of evidence He had not been formally charged At the end of the day, this is nothing but a modern-day lynching "
Similar allegations surfaced against Jackson a decade ago, but they never led to criminal charges and in 1994 the probe became inactive
On Wednesday, CBS pulled a Jackson music special planned for next Wednesday on his greatest hits and the impact on pop culture of the former child star who got his start with his brothers as a member of the singing-and-dancing Jackson 5 "It's not sexual, we're going to sleep
