00:11I love you.
00:30We need to talk to you a minute.
00:32We're basically shutting down the gate.
00:34They're going to be controlling who comes and who goes.
00:37OK?
00:37It's out of your control.
00:39What is the nature of this?
00:40That's not for your business.
00:42We're serving a search warrant.
00:43Air 30.
00:44Can you copy?
00:45Now, we're through the gate.
00:47The subject, I repeat, the subject is not on property.
00:50You copy?
00:52Here's the bridge we're going to go.
00:53And the house is right there.
00:59You guys need a uniform with you?
01:01Hi.
01:02How you doing?
01:03Sheriff's department.
01:04We have a search warrant.
01:10This is a Fox News alert.
01:12Police right now searching Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch in California.
01:17We are told this is part of an ongoing investigation.
01:20Alleging criminal misconduct on the part of Michael Jackson.
01:25Hey.
01:25Come on, man.
01:26Yeah.
01:26Come on, man.
01:27Come on, man.
01:33Okay.
01:34And this is Mr. Jackson's main area?
01:38Sheriff's department.
01:40Go ahead, Chris.
01:45Whose office is this?
01:47This is his office.
01:49This is Michael's?
01:50Okay.
01:51His office.
01:52Are there any secret rooms?
01:54Secret rooms?
01:55Yeah, behind a wall or something like that or anything like that.
01:58No, only behind doors.
02:02No hidden doors or anything?
02:03No.
02:07The phone rings and he says,
02:09Brian, the police are raiding Neverland Ranch.
02:13I go, what are they doing there, Mr. Jackson?
02:15I don't know.
02:16I don't know.
02:18He says, get your leads, find out.
02:25Wow.
02:27Okay, there could be something in here.
02:29Okay.
02:30Somebody needs to go through it.
02:31Hey, Jeff, we have an upstairs.
02:38The search warrant indicates that there is an accusation
02:41by a 12-year-old boy who says that he was molested.
02:44It appears that they think there's some kind of forensic evidence
02:48which would be available to them,
02:49which would include DNA, hair samples, blood samples.
02:52We don't know.
02:54We don't know the identity of the child.
02:56We don't know the specifics of the accusations.
03:00When you're investigating an allegation of child sexual abuse,
03:04you rarely have witnesses to it.
03:06We're looking for anything that we could find
03:09that tell us that this child is giving us accurate information.
03:16He's the most famous man in the world
03:19who's being accused of the most heinous crime in the world.
03:23An arrest warrant for Mr. Jackson has been issued
03:26on multiple counts of child molestation.
03:31Finally, we're going to get some answers.
03:34Is he guilty or is he not guilty?
03:44I met Michael Jackson in 1970.
03:50He was 12, I was 14, and we became friends.
03:56I told you that I love Michael.
03:59You love Michael?
04:00As a musician, you can see the genius of Michael Jackson.
04:04On stage since the age of five, a worldwide...
04:06Michael Jackson is a superstar.
04:08The outstanding example you have set for the youth of America.
04:11Still number one after 57 weeks on the charts.
04:13Thriller is still, to this day,
04:15the biggest selling record of all time.
04:17His album, Thriller, the winner of seven Grammy Awards,
04:21was still selling a million copies a year
04:2315 years after its release.
04:28Without exaggeration,
04:29I think Michael was the most famous person in the world.
04:32All the amazing talent.
04:39But then, you know, you began to see the changes in him.
04:43I mean, let's face it, he's a little weird.
04:47You know, he's just a little weird.
04:51The media was terrible to Michael Jackson.
04:54With all the wacko jacko stuff, which was horrible.
04:57What's with the hyperbaric chamber?
05:00What's with the plastic surgery?
05:02And Michael, he felt like he was lonely and isolated.
05:05But he was determined to live his life his way.
05:09Michael became friends with all these kids.
05:12You know, he didn't think it was strange,
05:13but other people did.
05:17A 13-year-old boy alleges a sexual relationship
05:20with Michael Jackson.
05:23The idea of Michael Jackson being a pedophile
05:25was, like, mind-blowing.
05:27It was the most far-fetched, ridiculous thing
05:30you could have imagined.
05:31The pop star angrily rejected accusations.
05:34He molested a young boy
05:36and lashed out at police and the media.
05:38There have been many disgusting statements
05:41made recently concerning allegations
05:44of improper conduct on my part.
05:46These statements about me are totally false.
05:49After all these terrible allegations about Michael,
05:52he had a hard time, not just artistically,
05:54but personally, too.
05:56I saw the hell that it had inflicted on him.
05:58He was so traumatized by that time.
06:01He needed, like, a reset
06:02where he could actually tackle some of these issues
06:05and his image in the public eye.
06:15The first time I met Michael in London, June 2002,
06:22his face is very heavily made up.
06:26His hair's kind of messy.
06:28He looks as though he hadn't slept for very long.
06:35And it had been some years
06:38since he was the king of pop.
06:42And yet, there's nobody comparable
06:44to the size and magnitude of a Michael Jackson.
06:48And the other thing that obviously caused
06:49an enormous amount of interest
06:51were the scandals that surrounded him
06:53and allegations of child sexual abuse
06:55some years previously.
06:57I said,
06:58I'd love to make a film with you
06:59if you were interested.
07:01He said,
07:02OK, come and see me in California.
07:05Talking about it with Michael,
07:07I came to understand
07:08that the reason Michael was interested
07:10in Martin Bashir
07:10was because of his interview
07:12with Princess Diana,
07:13who was somebody that Michael
07:15really kind of idolized.
07:18He wanted to be portrayed
07:20in a more human way
07:21by the guy who did it
07:23for Princess Diana.
07:25But Michael didn't do enough research
07:27because if he had done it,
07:29he would have realized
07:30that the Martin Bashir
07:31Princess Diana interview
07:33was kind of a disaster.
07:34Do you think Mrs. Parker Bowles
07:36was a factor
07:37in the breakdown of your marriage?
07:39Well, there were three of us
07:40in this marriage,
07:42so it was a bit crowded.
07:44That was the interview
07:45in which she talked about
07:47three in a marriage
07:48and it really set her at odds
07:50with the royal family
07:52and it was a public relations disaster.
07:57But Michael didn't follow the story
07:59all the way to that.
08:00He just stopped at the point
08:02where he wanted to do it
08:03because Princess Diana did it.
08:05Michael trusted Martin Bashir
08:07and then Martin Bashir,
08:08he was looking for a great story.
08:10And Michael sort of handed him
08:13this opportunity on a silver platter.
08:17We didn't think that Neverland
08:19was going to be the place
08:21where this whole thing unraveled.
08:33When I got onto Neverland,
08:35I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
08:37It was extraordinary.
08:38There was this Ferris wheel,
08:39a massive fairground.
08:40And then I rode towards the zoo
08:42and I can remember seeing elephants,
08:45giraffes and a bear.
08:48I made it clear
08:50that I wanted to understand his life.
08:53I thought he had a strange relationship
08:56with children.
08:57There had been allegations before.
08:59There had been settlements.
09:03Do you come out here on your own?
09:05Yeah.
09:06How often?
09:07All the time.
09:08You just come out on your own?
09:09Yes.
09:10And go on a ride?
09:11Yep.
09:12Usually the carousel.
09:14I'll play music.
09:14I love playing classical music on the carousel.
09:17And what about the Ferris wheel?
09:19I like the Ferris wheel.
09:21Makes you wish and dream.
09:22Can we go on it?
09:24Sure.
09:24Let's go on it.
09:26When I met him,
09:28he was increasingly isolated as a figure.
09:33There was none of the kind of lawyers and PR and publicists
09:38that normally surrounds a major global superstar.
09:42He was in control.
09:43It was his idea that we film in the dance studio.
09:48I knew I had to ask him certain questions that were going to be quite difficult.
09:53But it was quite intimidating.
09:55When you're dealing with someone like Michael Jackson,
09:57you don't tell him what you're going to film.
09:59But if we behaved appropriately and if he liked us, then things would happen.
10:07Use your heel to slide back.
10:11That is not easy.
10:12That is not easy.
10:15That's not easy.
10:16That's very good, though.
10:17Oh, shit.
10:17That's the idea.
10:18You're a very kind man.
10:20I bought these.
10:22These.
10:23Right?
10:24Yes.
10:24Have you got enough space for all of this?
10:26Yeah, I do.
10:27You've got space?
10:28Yeah.
10:28And these we bought.
10:29Okay.
10:29Let's have a look at these ones.
10:31They're beautiful.
10:32Oh, that's only 275,000 each.
10:36I was getting on well with him.
10:39The filming had gone really well.
10:41He seemed to have enjoyed it.
10:42Yet I knew that for this section of the film, I actually had to put all of that aside
10:50and behave as if I was confronting him for the first time.
10:56I had to ask him about the allegations of child sexual abuse.
11:00I was anxious about what was going to happen when I put these difficult questions to him.
11:08But as we moved towards the end of the filming, he said, I want you to meet somebody.
11:16So I said, right.
11:17Who do you want me to meet?
11:19He said, he's a little boy.
11:21And we've healed him of cancer.
11:24Michael then gets up and goes out and brings the child in front of us.
11:31I think what was going through his mind was, here's an example of a child that I've helped.
11:37That's what I want you to put in your film.
11:41And then Michael volunteers during the conversation that they sleep in the bed together.
11:49Well, can't you share your bed?
11:52The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone.
11:56You know?
11:57You really think that?
11:57Yeah, of course.
12:01And we're just, all of us, the production team, are completely gobsmacked.
12:07I mean, we can't believe what's going on in front of us.
12:11But haven't you got a spare room or a spare house here where he could have stayed?
12:16Yeah, but no, yes.
12:17We have guest units, but whenever kids come here, they always want to stay with me.
12:21He actually made a disclosure on camera about something that had always been queried around him.
12:27That people have always suspected there's something wrong about the way he interacts.
12:31I realised that we had something that was hugely significant.
12:36But I didn't realise the extent of the bombshell until the broadcast.
12:45Michael Jackson's home, Neverland, is a 3,000-acre ranch three hours north of Los Angeles.
12:53He thought about it, and then he said, yes, come to Neverland.
12:58What do you think people would say if I said, well, I've invited some of my daughter's friends round,
13:05or my son's friends round, and they're going to sleep in the bed with me tonight?
13:07That's fine.
13:08What do you think their parents would say?
13:10If they're wacky, they would say, you can't.
13:12But when you say bed, you're thinking it's sexual.
13:16They make that sexual. It's not sexual.
13:18But we're going to sleep.
13:19I tuck them in.
13:21I put a little, like, music on.
13:23It's a little story time.
13:25I read a book.
13:26It's very sweet.
13:26Put the fireplace on.
13:28Give them hot milk.
13:29You know, we have little cookies.
13:30It's very charming.
13:32Very sweet.
13:32Sure.
13:33I'm watching Michael on television, and there's a moment, and if you knew him like I did,
13:38you can see him suddenly calculating in his head, this is terrible.
13:43He finally said, okay, if you love me, let's sleep on a bed.
13:48I was like, oh, man.
13:50You can see it.
13:52You can look at that moment in the Martin Bashir documentary, and you can actually pin
13:57the end of his life, you know, to that very moment.
14:06Did you happen to see that documentary on Michael Jackson?
14:09He says he was devastated by it.
14:11Well, he talked about his plastic surgery and how he still invites little children to
14:15sleep in his bed.
14:20Of course, I tuned in.
14:22My husband and I were watching Wrapped, and then I saw that boy sitting on the sofa next
14:30to him, holding Jackson's hand, putting his head on his shoulder, looking up at him dreamily.
14:37And I looked at my husband, and I said, uh-oh.
14:41I thought, here we go again.
14:43It drew me right back in to a story that I had done 10 years earlier.
14:51The boy's name was Geordie Chandler.
14:55It never came to trial.
14:57Michael Jackson settled with the family for about $20 million.
15:04I suppose the problem for many people is what happened in 1993, or what didn't happen.
15:11What didn't happen?
15:13Nothing ever happened.
15:15It was a mantra.
15:16Nothing ever happened.
15:18And I thought to myself, maybe it did.
15:24The reason that's been given for why you didn't go to jail was because you reached a financial
15:31settlement with the family.
15:32Yeah, yeah.
15:33I don't want to do a long, drawn-out thing on TV like OJ.
15:37I want to go on with my life.
15:39Here it was, in my face again, all those years later, and I couldn't ignore it.
15:45You can't ignore it.
15:48I just remember watching the documentary with the Jackson family, and they were shocked.
15:57And Michael, he called his mom, and her whole demeanor changed.
16:02Like, all she could say was, they set him up.
16:05They set him up.
16:07Devastated and utterly betrayed.
16:09A gross distortion of the truth, and a tawdry attempt to misrepresent his life and his abilities
16:13as a father.
16:15That's the star's reaction to living with Michael Jackson.
16:18People were thinking, oh, something's going on with Michael and this kid, because of what
16:22we saw on TV.
16:23But Michael was determined and ready to fight.
16:27Ramon Bain is Michael Jackson's spokesperson.
16:30Ms. Bain, good morning to you.
16:31Good morning.
16:32How are you?
16:32Well, I've been very blessed, because I've worked with Muhammad Ali, Boyzeman, Serena Williams.
16:43And it was through Serena recommending me to Michael Jackson that I began working for Michael
16:50Jackson.
16:50I thought that the Bashir documentary was outrageous.
16:55It was a, I gotcha kind of thing.
16:58After that, Michael was guilty until found innocent.
17:04And I asked him point blank, looking dead in his face, did you do this?
17:09And I was convinced when he told me no, because had he told me yes, or had I thought that
17:14he
17:15was guilty of molesting children, I wouldn't have represented him.
17:18One of the things that I was concerned about, it was just uncontrollable.
17:25When you are bigger than life, which he was, nothing goes unreported.
17:31And there were some during that time to make sure everything was reported.
17:38I got on the line to all my best sources within law enforcement to try to find out who this
17:45kid in the Bashir documentary was.
17:48They said his name is Gavin.
17:49That's all I know.
17:53Everyone is saying, who is the kid?
17:54It's a little bit like there's blood in the water and the sharks are hungry.
17:58And we were some of those sharks.
18:00We were circling.
18:01We were circling Neverland to find that kid.
18:03You've got to remember how many people are employed at Neverland.
18:06You've got people shoveling giraffe shit.
18:09You've got fairground workers.
18:11There's so many sources there.
18:12There's so many employees.
18:14You know, we're paying a few.
18:19It doesn't take long to get the name.
18:23The boy's surname was Arvizon.
18:26Gavin Arvizon.
18:28The difficulty, of course, is you're dealing with a child.
18:30So we're going after the family.
18:32The dad, David Arvizo, we found him.
18:35The dad was ostracized from the family.
18:38So you've got a financially needy family whose head could be turned by a large check.
18:44But in the case of the Arvizos, they weren't selling their story.
18:48They never went for the money.
18:50There was a story to be had.
18:52We just couldn't get it.
19:01A few years prior to the documentary, I met the Arvizo family at the Laugh Factory.
19:08And Gavin was a really funny, bright, sparkly kid.
19:14They were living in what you would call a bachelor apartment.
19:16It was one room.
19:18They had mattresses on the floor.
19:21They had sheets strung up for some privacy.
19:24Janet was a good mom.
19:27I found her to be childlike in her enthusiasm for everything.
19:32And then one day, I get a phone call from Janet, and she's screaming, Gavin has cancer.
19:41As soon as I could, I went down to the hospital.
19:45He was at Kaiser in Hollywood.
19:47They were going to try everything, but the likelihood was that he would die.
19:53I would visit him frequently at the hospital.
19:57He lost all his hair.
19:59He couldn't eat.
20:01He was just rocking and moaning.
20:04One day, I walked into Gavin's room, and there was a specially large gift basket.
20:10It was the size of half the room.
20:13I said, hey, Gav, who sent you that?
20:17And he just said, Michael.
20:19And I said, Michael who?
20:21Michael Jackson?
20:24Okay, cool.
20:26I just sort of accepted it, because we've all seen him visiting all of these sick children and needy children.
20:41You'd just see a row of kids and Michael Jackson in the center.
20:46Michael Jackson was a modern-day Pied Piper to children.
20:50He did tell me the children coming to Neverland lifted his spirits.
20:56A few months later, Janet called me and told me that they had been to Neverland.
21:00And she told me how wonderful Michael was, and I thought that he was dying, and why shouldn't he go
21:07enjoy Neverland?
21:09But way later, when I watched the Martin Bashir documentary, my heart sank.
21:14I just immediately thought, the press is going to hound these people.
21:18I did not want them in this whirlwind.
21:21I called Janet.
21:23I called Janet's mom.
21:24And every number I called was disconnected.
21:28Their phones being disconnected, I found very alarming.
21:32I didn't know their whereabouts.
21:33I didn't know if they were safe.
21:39I just had graduated college.
21:41I was very excited to work in the entertainment industry and for Michael Jackson.
21:47When I arrived in Los Angeles, I walked into a very busy house, comparable to, like, walking into, like, a
21:54busy newsroom.
21:56People running around, phones ringing off the hook.
21:59The media agencies were calling nonstop.
22:04So I walk into this damage control.
22:06And then they said, you're going to take care of the Arvizo family.
22:11The media wanted answers after the fallout of the Bashir special.
22:16Michael graciously opened up his arms and allowed the Arvizos to come back to the ranch.
22:21So they were weathering the storm at Neverland.
22:28These photos are from the ranch.
22:31I've kept them for the last 20 years.
22:33This is Gavin's mother, Janet Arvizo.
22:37She writes,
22:38Dearest loving Michael,
22:39We appreciate you being our family.
22:43What God brings together,
22:45no man can undo.
22:48We love you.
22:52This is Star Arvizo,
22:55Gavin's brother.
22:57I love you,
22:59my daddy, Michael.
23:01Your son,
23:03Blowhole.
23:04These are the nicknames that Michael would give these young boys.
23:10There was individuals in the media
23:13questioning Michael's relationship with children.
23:17So the Jackson camp felt a need to hire a criminal defense attorney, Mark Garagos,
23:22to look over the legal aspects of this.
23:25I had received a call from a gentleman who was representing Michael and he asked if I would meet Michael
23:38at Neverland.
23:40The DNA of being a criminal defense lawyer is you're always thinking about the worst that can happen.
23:46I realized that this is not just a reputation management issue.
23:52This is potentially criminal exposure.
23:56And that is a problem.
23:59I saw that this was red meat for a prosecutor who was determined to take down Michael.
24:08The Jackson associates decided to make a video.
24:12Janet Arvizo and family was to be filmed, providing truthless statements regarding Michael Jackson and their relationship,
24:21and more importantly, Gavin's relationship with Michael Jackson.
24:26Wait, wait, you know how these Bashir, hey, you know how Bashir zoomed in on him holding hands?
24:34Do that, the same thing.
24:35It's because you know.
24:36Because that's what a mother or a father does with a son.
24:39And I feel that Janet in front of me, while I was watching, gave her side of the truth about
24:47her relationship with Michael Jackson that was not scripted.
24:51When I would tell him, the doctors are saying there's no chance, Michael said, I will not have that.
24:57You bring him to me and we will quote him with love.
25:01We may be broken.
25:03Michael fixed this.
25:04I physically watched and believed her responses to be true, and nothing ever occurred untoward to them by Michael Jackson.
25:12When I first met Michael, all I thought was he was a loving, kind, humble man, and all he wanted
25:19to do was good.
25:20This video is an insurance policy should the Arvizo family make an allegation against Michael.
25:28If somebody's on the stand and they say something, you could have a snippet ready on video and show a
25:34jury.
25:35Well, you said that then and this is now.
25:37And then that forces the witness to have to explain themselves.
25:41I believe Michael didn't trust this family, so they had a private detective watching over the Arvizo family.
25:50I received a phone call from Janet.
25:52She was panicky and whispery, and she was saying, they're listening to everything I say.
25:57I can't talk very long.
26:00She really wanted to leave Neverland, but she was being told, we're trying to keep you safe.
26:05You need to stay here.
26:05But she just felt like something was off.
26:10Janet called a good friend and said, do you know of any lawyers?
26:13He recommended a lawyer who watched the Martin Bashir documentary and said, these children need to speak to a psychologist.
26:24The children, particularly Gavin and Starr, I think really loved Michael Jackson.
26:28I think that he was very important at a time when there was chaos in their life, economic, medical.
26:34And I think both Starr and Gavin looked to him for some stability.
26:42It was very shocking to me when I learned about his experiences and his familiarity with Michael Jackson.
26:49I felt like the boys were credible, and I felt there was enough information for me to reasonably suspect Gavin
26:57had been the victim of child sexual abuse.
27:00And in the state of California, health professionals in general, if you have a reasonable suspicion, you must, under penalty
27:07of law, make a report to the appropriate authorities.
27:13At the time, I was prosecuting predominantly sex crimes.
27:17I was one of the few men who actually did that, and did a lot of them.
27:21Rape cases, child molest cases, crimes against women, crimes against children.
27:26That became one of my specialties.
27:29And I got a call from the district attorney, and I went down to his office, and he handed me
27:34a report.
27:35And it took a moment before I finally saw the name Michael Jackson, the most recognizable person in the world.
27:44But to find out, is there a credible accusation of sexual abuse, almost always the first thing detectives do is
27:51interview the child.
27:55Okay, we're rolling.
27:57You can just sit right there, buddy.
28:04How long is it going to take?
28:05Well, as far as how fast you answer our questions, and how you feel, and all that stuff.
28:13Hey, he grabbed me.
28:18He grabbed you?
28:19Yeah.
28:20Where did he grab you at?
28:22Private area.
28:23He grabbed you in your private area?
28:26Where were you at?
28:26Were you in, where were you at when this happened?
28:28I was in bed.
28:29In bed?
28:30Were you lying in bed, or were you sitting on the bed?
28:34I was lying in bed.
28:35We were talking.
28:36And did you have clothes on or off?
28:39On?
28:40Yeah, I was in my family.
28:42Okay.
28:43And what did he end up doing?
28:47He told me.
28:51Because he said that if I knew how to do it, he said, if I, you do it for me,
29:01so you know, you start.
29:02Speak up just a little bit, I can't hear you, but I know it's hard.
29:06You can expect to see a child who's talking about a subject matter that's difficult to talk about.
29:12Life is so much easier if you just say, nothing happened, and the questions stop.
29:18You watch kids, they just sit there and implode, not explode, implode.
29:23They sort of shrink into themselves.
29:25Their shoulders come in, their head drops down.
29:28It's as if they're trying to disappear into the floor.
29:31And what did he do next?
29:36Okay.
29:42Did he stop?
29:44I told him, he kept on doing it.
29:48I told him, you see what I'm saying?
29:50He wants to teach me.
29:53I told him, I don't know.
29:57At some point after the release of the Martin Bashir documentary, Michael Jackson had sexually abused Gavin.
30:04That's what Gavin told us, and we believed him.
30:06What I saw, I thought, was a very typical interview of a child who had experienced sexual abuse.
30:12Was there anything else where you had seen naked pictures or naked women before, while being with Michael?
30:18Yeah.
30:19Where was that at?
30:20He had a black suitcase.
30:23He said, and there's a black suitcase, and it's full of naked pictures of magazines of women.
30:30Of women?
30:31Girls.
30:32Did you see them?
30:34He showed them to me.
30:36I really am very proud of you, Gavin.
30:39I'm very proud of you.
30:41I learned that both Star and Gavin had been shown pornography.
30:46Star told me that he had seen Michael put alcohol into soda cans, called it Jesus juice.
30:54Gavin told me that he had Jesus juice on planes.
30:58Gavin told me he had Jesus juice in Michael Jackson's room.
31:02When you're prosecuting a case involving a crime against a child, you rarely have witnesses to it.
31:08So we want to see if we can corroborate what Gavin had told us about what was going on in
31:14Neverland with Michael Jackson.
31:16And that included executing a search warrant on his property.
31:25This is a Fox News alert.
31:27A search warrant has been issued and executed by the Santa Barbara County Police.
31:34Dozens of investigators are swarming Michael Jackson's ranch in California,
31:38looking for evidence in what is being called an ongoing criminal investigation.
32:05Okay, well, let's do our checks.
32:08You don't have a job until we secure this house.
32:11We think that we have a good chance of being able to get a conviction on this case.
32:17Then we should do it.
32:19We should not do it because he's a celebrity.
32:23Search warrant.
32:27Right now, Target Neverland is underway.
32:30That's right.
32:30As many as 60 investigators are inside at this point, searching the ranch.
32:34To my left, you'll see the mass of media from all over the world that's gathered here.
32:38It goes down about a quarter mile.
32:39We had a very realistic understanding of what was going to happen, the constant presence of the press.
32:47It never crossed our mind that that would be a reason that we wouldn't prosecute Michael Jackson.
32:52We knew what it would mean nationally and even internationally.
32:56Those investigators are still on the scene.
32:58Somebody very close to this investigation says it does involve child molestation.
33:07I was at home.
33:08All of a sudden, there was a news flash.
33:10It was a raid at Neverland.
33:12I almost dropped to the floor.
33:14I knew inherently that this was the Orviso family.
33:18How could they accuse Michael of molesting their child?
33:22I cold-heartedly believed in his innocence.
33:25I felt that it just didn't make logical sense that Michael would harm a child after the deposition and the
33:38family speaking so positively of him.
33:51We want to see if we can corroborate what Gavin had told us, where the stairway is.
34:05Where the bed is.
34:08I knew that in Jackson's interview in the documentary by Martin Bashir, he was saying these kids, they want to
34:14stay in my bed.
34:36We want to see if there was the briefcase that Gavin said existed in the bedroom that had all of
34:41the pornography in it.
34:46Yes, we found the briefcase.
34:48Yes, it was the same color.
34:49Yes, it had pornography in it.
35:06I stood outside Neverland for hours and hours and hours that day, watching whether or not they're going to bring
35:12Michael Jackson out.
35:14He's not there.
35:15The sheriff's office, all they have said is that this is a property search, an ongoing investigation.
35:22And tomorrow morning at about 11 o'clock, we'll have a news conference with both the DA and the sheriff.
35:27Okay, we're 30 seconds.
35:32The basis for this investigation regarding Mr. Jackson involves allegations of child molestation, 288A of the California Penal Code.
35:42Additionally, an arrest warrant for Mr. Jackson has been issued on multiple counts of child molestation.
35:49For years, pop star Michael Jackson has denied having inappropriate contact with children, and he has never been charged.
35:57But tonight, Jackson is wanted by police.
36:00Jackson, could he be a flight risk?
36:01Could he be a flight risk?
36:04There's always that potential, but we are actively pursuing the arrest warrant.
36:08Do you know where he is right now?
36:10No, we do not.
36:11Ask Diane.
36:12She knows everything about Michael Jackson.
36:13I already had this history, this knowledge, this source base, and they were calling me these sources as often as
36:21I was calling them.
36:23Every hour, I was finding out more and more things, and I get some real hard facts.
36:28I came to discover that Michael Jackson was not at Neverland, but somewhere in Las Vegas.
36:38The 45-year-old's whereabouts are a mystery.
36:41Some say he's been at the Four Seasons.
36:43Others say up the strip, at the Mirage, where he reportedly owns a villa.
36:48And still others say, no, he last stayed here, at the Bellagio.
36:51The fact is, it seems nobody in this town knows where Michael Jackson last stayed, let alone where he is
36:57tonight.
36:57We're outside Neverland.
36:59We're in Vegas.
37:00We've got people stationed everywhere.
37:01And it's a bit embarrassing that, actually, we don't know where he is right now.
37:06Those of us who know Michael, we think, well, I think the world of him.
37:10And I just cannot fathom that this would be true.
37:13At the time, Michael wasn't talking to nobody.
37:17He was hoping that the Fuhrer would go away.
37:20Mrs. Jackson had a theory about life.
37:23If you ducked and covered enough, the storm would pass you by.
37:27And Michael practiced that very carefully.
37:31I find out from a source, he's holed up in this villa, and he only opens the door wearing a
37:38colorful dashiki muumuu garment.
37:41Only enough to get the food brought in, and then he slams the door.
37:44And he's having wild parties.
37:47There were cigarette burns in the leather couches and chairs.
37:51There were food containers everywhere.
37:53There were empty liquor bottles on every table.
37:56And this is where Michael Jackson had been for several days entertaining young teenage boys who all spoke German.
38:06And he said, after the raid, Michael Jackson was informed, oh, my God, the cops are at Neverland again.
38:13And he left just like that.
38:20Michael Jackson remains a wanted man this morning, and everyone's waiting to see when he'll turn himself in.
38:27Jackson's spokesman says the singer will return to Santa Barbara to confront and prove that the charges are unfounded.
38:34We have to go.
38:35You have to go.
38:37The producer's on.
38:40Michael Jackson's office as to the surrender.
38:48We were hearing that this aircraft may be connected with Michael Jackson's arrival.
38:53He is rolling out right now on runway 7.
39:01He flew in in a private jet into a hangar in Santa Barbara, and my sources were telling me he
39:10voluntarily flew there to surrender.
39:14They put the handcuffs on him and put him in a car.
39:18That car was also outfitted with audio.
39:23Okay.
39:24Put the mirror on, please.
39:26Okay.
39:26Is that okay for you, Mr. Jackson?
39:28It's wonderful.
39:29Okay.
39:30Thank you very much.
39:32They did not want any false reports of police brutality.
39:41Coming in the back.
39:43Back.
39:46It's coming in.
39:49Some cars starting to pull into the Sallieport area.
39:58Just, uh, if you want to scoot forward a little bit.
40:01There you go.
40:03All right.
40:03Somebody's coming out of the vehicle now.
40:05It appears to be.
40:06There he is.
40:06It's Michael Jackson.
40:07It's Michael Jackson.
40:08Right now.
40:08Walking into the...
40:10I believe he's in handcuffs.
40:11Mike, he's in handcuffs.
40:12Yes.
40:14So after that 24-hour mystery about his whereabouts, Michael Jackson has now surrendered into police
40:20custody behind me.
40:21A crushing humiliation for one of the world's great entertainers.
40:25Right now, being read those charges of child molestation.
40:29Minutes are ticking by.
40:31I'm still live on the air.
40:32I'm thinking, is he going to be booked, fingerprinted, mug shot?
40:36What happens next?
40:39And then it popped up in my monitor.
40:43And I was stunned.
40:45I'm live on the air, so I have to be careful what I say.
40:48I thought, number one, he looks so pale.
40:52It looked ghoulish.
40:54It looked like a deer in the headlights.
40:56I almost felt sorry for him.
40:59When I saw him with his hands cuffed and then that mug shot, I realized, this is not just
41:05at the allegation stage anymore.
41:07Michael Jackson is now in the American criminal justice system.
41:12He's in the system.
41:13And the system was not going to let him go.
41:16And my sources were telling me there was going to be a criminal trial.
41:22Seven counts of lewd and lascivious acts against a child with the intent of arousing, appealing
41:27to, and gratifying the lust, passions, and sexual desires of Jackson and the child.
41:32And two counts of administering an intoxicating agent, reportedly alcohol, with the intent
41:37of committing child molestation.
41:40He's come back specifically to confront these charges head on.
41:45He is greatly outraged by the bringing of these charges.
41:50He considers this to be a big lie.
41:54He was enormously stressed.
41:56All of a sudden, there is a reality to what has been theoretical.
42:04I watched him just disintegrate, literally disintegrate.
42:11The ingestion of substances was just astronomical.
42:17There was a time when I actually saw him in the fetal position on the floor, and I thought,
42:23what do we do?
42:23I mean, you don't want his death to be on your hands because you took some inaction.
42:32It was a horrific time for him and for those around him.
42:38And we had genuine concerns as to whether he could even withstand the trial, physically,
42:45mentally.
42:48Michael is hearing all of these heinous accusations on a day-to-day basis, and he's wanting people
42:55to step up and say that's not true and to defend him more.
43:00We know our son.
43:02We know that he's not a pedophile like some of these newscasters are saying.
43:06This is ridiculous.
43:07We have a lot of wicked people out there, and they know what they're doing.
43:13Michael is saying, what is this obsession with me?
43:17Why am I a target?
43:19It seemed to me that there was a deliberate attempt to try to get him.
43:25It is racism.
43:26It is.
43:27Catherine's not going to say it, but I will say it.
43:30It is racism.
43:32When the charges were announced against Michael, of course, the family, they were heart sick,
43:37but for Michael's siblings, it was never about guilt or innocence for them.
43:41It was about legacy.
43:43They can't do this to us.
43:45They want to destroy what we built.
43:47It's what I kept hearing over and over again.
43:50We are the Jacksons.
43:51As Randy Jackson would say, you know, we are royalty.
43:54We're the Black Kennedys.
43:57My mother, my father, my sisters, my brothers are overwhelmed at the outpouring of the support
44:04from the fans, both here in the United States and all around the world.
44:08It was all about the brand.
44:10Michael Jackson, the brand.
44:12The Jacksons, the brand.
44:14We got to protect the brand.
44:17Thank you very much.
44:19That's all I got to say.
44:20I remember Jermaine calling me up and says, guess what?
44:23You know, Michael says, when the trial is over, we're going to go on tour again.
44:27And I got to realize that that's what this was really about for, at least for Jermaine.
44:34We got to support him because he got to come through this.
44:37He's got to beat these charges so they can make more music and go out on tour.
44:41He's innocent.
44:42And he knows that.
44:43We know that.
44:44And the public knows that, too.
44:47He's innocent.
44:48Our response is, here we go again.
44:50Michael has 24-hour-a-day supervision with him for the specific purpose of protecting him
44:56against these kinds of claims.
44:57Did he want to have children around him?
45:00Yes, he did.
45:02No question about it.
45:04But to groom children for molestation?
45:07What, he was the wicked witch in Hansel and Gretel?
45:10How nonsensical.
45:12Michael Jackson was the biggest superstar in the history of the country and the world.
45:19Adults would get into Michael's presence and they were all at Twitter and it was impossible
45:24for him to function, but with children, they didn't care.
45:28He was just one of the guys.
45:31And that's why he liked being with children.
45:37I remember on the day of the arraignment, I'd never seen anything like it.
45:44Michael Jackson presents himself in court and the formal charges are read against him.
45:50I knew we were watching the potential demise of a superstar.
45:59He knows there are two parallel battles underway.
46:03There is the legal battle underway inside that courtroom.
46:06And then there is the public relations scourge that is also underway.
46:12Michael had an entire army with him.
46:15There was a huge crowd there.
46:17News stations, take this garbage and then report it as fact.
46:21You should be ashamed of yourself.
46:25I believe he's 100% innocent and I don't think he would ever do something like this.
46:30He doesn't have the heart to do it.
46:31We believe in his innocence and we're supporting him all the way and we're thinking about him
46:35every minute and we're going to be here for him.
46:42I'll never forget Bob Jones, Michael's longtime manager and I were standing next to Michael
46:48and Bob had his back to him and he says, I know he's going to do something crazy.
46:55I just know he's going to do something crazy.
47:06I remember looking up kind of gobsmacked and I thought he was going to start moonwalking.
47:14I was immensely impressed with the physicality of hopping onto the top of an SUV in the state
47:23or condition he was in.
47:25He's one of the greatest performers of the century.
47:28He can turn it on.
47:30He said, Brian, how do guilty people leave court?
47:36I said, they kind of are embarrassed and they hide.
47:38He says, yeah, they put their jacket over their head and they hide.
47:43How do innocent people leave the courthouse?
47:48They let the whole world see them.
47:51They stand tall and they stand proud.
47:59In his own inimical way, Michael Jackson knew how to tell the world he was innocent.
48:14I would not be surprised if somewhere down the road, some of the people surrounding Michael Jackson
48:20might have at least the threat of charges against them, aiding, abetting, allowing children in,
48:26knowing full well what the heck might happen.
48:30Hey, Vincent, Sergeant, we're going in.
48:32I just want to hear from you whether you want to speak to me with your attorney or not.
48:36Giving you the opportunity, bud, because the ship is sinking pretty fast.
48:40So please, Vince, give me a buzz.
48:43You know, we knew that Vinny was one of the people who was at Neverland and had an association
48:48with the kids when they were there.
48:50So we were interested in talking to Vinny to see if he could help us in any way in terms
48:55of what was going on with the kids.
48:57They defended him.
48:59And I wholeheartedly believed in his innocence.
49:01One of the reasons was because of my friend Frank.
49:05Michael was like a father to Frank.
49:08Frank was a young child when he met Michael.
49:11And he grew in the ranks and he became his personal assistant.
49:15Basically anything Michael wanted, you would have to do.
49:19Frank Tyson is thought to be one of Jackson's closest friends.
49:23They met when Tyson was just five years old and he's admittedly slept in Jackson's bed.
49:29I said, Frank, you're the closest person to Michael.
49:31I said, is this true?
49:35He never gave me an indication that he is interested in boys or sexual attraction to boys.
49:41It's the complete opposite.
49:42He told me, no, Michael would never do this with a child.
49:45I know Michael all my life.
49:48He would never do this.
49:50And I trusted Frank.
49:52But they were raiding other Jackson associates' houses and properties.
49:58Frank cleaned out his house of anything that came from the Neverland Ranch.
50:03And he hands me a Nike bag.
50:05I took the bag.
50:07And I'm driving home and I felt something was a little suspicious.
50:10And I said, you know, let me take a look in this bag.
50:15I start taking videos to document this.
50:27I open the bag.
50:29I start looking and I see a magazine.
50:40I start flipping through it.
50:46And there was a Sharpie.
50:49Circles around a video ordering section.
50:53Someone's wanted these videos, circled the ones they want.
50:57These videos, which are children that are naked.
51:00Some with family, some just naked children.
51:06I confronted Frank.
51:07I said, you know, Frank, what is this magazine?
51:11I said, because, you know, there's circles around video with naked children.
51:15He says, that's just a phase that Michael and I went through.
51:18You know, he circled the videos that he wanted.
51:20I ordered them and it was a phase that we went through.
51:22They watched them together.
51:25When I heard that, I was in disbelief.
51:29I was very upset.
51:32My inclination was, after finding this and sitting there thinking about it,
51:39was that Frank is so close to Michael that he's covering up for him.
51:45That was a defining moment for me.
51:48That was the moment that hit me so hard where I realized that there's something going on here.
51:59In the last few weeks, a large amount of ugly, malicious information has been released into the media about me.
52:05I allowed a family to visit and spend some time at Neverland.
52:09Through the years, I have helped thousands of children who are ill or in distress.
52:15Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court.
55:44You
