In 2003, Michael Jackson was charged with seven felony counts of child molestation and two felony counts of providing an intoxicant to a minor under the age of 14 in order to seduce him.

After warranted raids of the musician’s Neverland Ranch in Los Olivos, California, in November 2003 by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department, police made a number  of shocking findings, only recently revealed.

Inside his Neverland Ranch, there were stockpiles of images of pornography, animal torture, S&M and gore used to “facilitate the molestation of [children],” according to police reports.

The evidence continued to pile up when investigations moved to Shurgard Storage, storage units where more materials were said to have been transported after the investigation launched.

Among materials seized, according to reports released by Radar Online, were “notes, diaries, documents, photographs and videotapes,” along with more than 80 video recordings and computer hard drives.

A source told Radar, “The documents exposed Jackson as a manipulative, drug-and-sex-crazed predator who used blood, gore, sexually explicit images of animal sacrifice and perverse adult sex acts to bend children to his will.”

Jackson faced up to 20 years in prison from the charges. Despite the evidence, a jury acquitted him of all charges in June 2005.

Before his death in 2009, he reportedly paid out nearly $200 million to as many as 20 sexual assault victims to keep them quiet said.
