Police find secret room in Michael Jackson raid

For 15 years, the Neverland ranch has been Michael Jackson's retreat from the world. But now, the walls are literally closing in on him. His fortune, his reputation, and his freedom are now at stake.

Now that a warrant is out for his arrest on multiple counts of sex abuse against a minor, Jackson's secret world is being exposed. And "Extra" is learning more dark secrets from behind the gates of Neverland.

At a stunning news conference, Santa Barbara sheriffs said they are in talks with Jackson's lawyers and negotiating for the international superstar to turn himself in.

Jackson family attorney Brian Oxman reveals to "Extra" what police found when they raided Jackson’s Neverland ranch. They found about one million pictures and thousands of videotapes, but Oxman insists that they are all innocent. He says, "They are looking at things which are the history of Michael Jackson. I don’t really think they know what they are looking for."

But "Extra" has learned about something else that police may have found at Neverland-- a secret room hidden behind the star's walk-in closet. It is a place few have seen because in it are photographs of bare-chested children, babies, toys, games, and even an autographed picture of actor Macauley Culkin signed, "Don't leave me alone in the house."

Jackson has reportedly hired attorney Mark Geragos, who worked for of Winona Ryder and Scott Peterson, to represent him. Meantime, Jackson's people have complained that the raid was carried out on the same day that his greatest hits album "Number Ones" came out, insinuating it was a publicity ploy by police. But the DA shot that theory down.

The rumors have swirled around Jackson since 1993 when sexual allegation charges were reportedly settled out of court. Then came last year's infamous baby dangling incident, followed by Jackson's stunning admission in the controversial documentary hosted by Martin Bashir.

Lorenzo Benet, a staff correspondent for People magazine says that if Jackson loses custody of his three children, his ex-wife Debby Rowe might be the next logical person to take over.

Benet says, "Now Debbie has said in the past that she didn't really have these children to be a mother but legally she is the mother. So in that situation, I think that she would probably have first shot at getting the kids."

Someone should ask Jermaine if he ever visited his brother's secret room.

[TheBigB]

This just gets weirder and weirder.

[SQUID]

If he is guilty he can't play the race card.

[Saundra Duffy]

For some reason - and don't ask me why - I have the feeling that Michael Jackson is being set up. Of course, I could be dead wrong.

[PeteFromMontana]

"police MAY have found"


??????

[jimbo123]

Yeah. Someone else built the secret room behind his walk-in closet and didn't tell Whacko.

[Neets]

Waddayanuts?

[Richard Kimball]

an autographed picture of actor Macauley Culkin signed, "Don't leave me alone in the house."

This is beyond weird.

[GOPJ]

Only one secret room?

But "Extra" has learned about something else that police may have found at Neverland-- a secret room hidden behind the star's walk-in closet. It is a place few have seen because in it are photographs of bare-chested children, babies, toys, games, and even an autographed picture of actor Macauley Culkin signed, "Don't leave me alone in the house."

[shaggy eel]

,,, if you run a theme park for kids, you're Disney. If they stay the night, you're setting yourself up.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I think papa Jackson should have spent more time beating Micheal. He didn't get the message apparently.

[ER_in_OC,CA]

The inscription from Culkin is obviously a reference to his hit movie "Home Alone." If you've seen it, you'd understand the reference. I don't see anything sinister in this inscription.

[TheOtherOne]

The 'secret room' is hardly a secret. I have know about it for a while. I think it was mentioned in the book "Freak" about Michael too.

[jimbo123]

What movie were all the bare-chested children in?

[Truth666]

After reading about the rythm at which new details in this case were "exposed" to the stoned masses, you can have a good idea of what you can expect in the future on this - ultimate example : orphans under the custody of the state delivered to major pedophile "personalities" -

[jimbo123]

The you know that he had photos of bare-chested children in his secret room, too?

[jimbo123]

Did you know that he had photos of bare-chested children in his secret room, too?

[ChiMark]

All of the high profile people around this scum bag and no one ever turned him in. I can't believe no one in his circle knew of his kiddie homo tendencies. Hollywood protects their own.
This creature drugged little boys and who knows what. And no one had the guts to say this guy is a freak but If he were a republican he'd be the devil himself.

[LieFreeGov]

The press obviously didn't report it right...

it had to have said "Don't leave me alone in the house naked"

:o)

[basil]

I think this article is too full of maybe, could be, vagueness, etc. I wouldn't put much money on any of it being true, other than what is repeated from other sources.

[Serb5150]

Where's his other hand?

[Moose4]

My sick-pud-ometer just snapped its needle.

}:-)4

[jimbo123]

Jermaine? Is that you?

[ER_in_OC,CA]

I don't understand your question to me -- it doesn't pertain to the topic I addressed. Could you clarify?

I was responding to a person whose post was solely about the Culkin photo, in order to clarify the context of the inscription. Occasionally things "sound" perverted but aren't. In the case of the Culkin photo inscription, if one didn't know the name of his hit movie, it's likely to seem eerie or dangerous.

[shaggy eel]

,,, I recall that story out of Portugal. Belgium has had it's moments recently too.

[jimbo123]

But don't you think it's eerie or dangerous for Whacko to have photos of bare-chested children in a secret room behind his walk-in closet? Why didn't he put those photos up in his living room?

[Howlin]

Here!

[New Horizon]

Macauley: What was that!
Michael: Just a bedbug.
Macauley: Sure was a big one!

[Voltage]

Only one juror has to say no. I am not altogether optimistic.

[bonfire]

I do too. And I don't know why either.

[EUPHORIC]

Hmmmmmmmmmm.......... Jacksons left hand seems to be occupied in this photo... ;)

[Calvin Locke]

Hey, the Green Hornet had a secret passage in his walk-in closet. Supposedly, to get to the Black Beauty.

Although, I do recall a episode where he did break in to a little girl's bedroom one night.

[jimbo123]

If there's a hung jury, they will retry him. It's time for Michael to go to jail.

[ER_in_OC,CA]

Friend, I think you're mistaking my adding of information on the Culkin picture for defending Jackson and the items reported to be in the room.

I'm not sure how you leapt to that conclusion, but it's erroneus.

[Howlin]

I think this article is too full of maybe, could be, vagueness, etc. I wouldn't put much money on any of it being true, other than what is repeated from other sources.

Yup. Frankly, I looked back up there to see if it was from NewsMax. :-)

[jimbo123]

Sorry for my confusion.

[maggief]

Yes ... and check out what that poor child is protecting!!!

[azcap]

Michael's race card is a pair, maybe three of a kind, have to ask the surgeons, but he is definetly not holding a straight.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Poor Macauley Culkin, another child that was used and abused by his parents.

[shaggy eel]

Only one juror has to say no. I am not altogether optimistic.

,,, it will rest on evidence presented. If they sent a convoy out to that ranch and have made an arrest, that's gotta be a start.

[fortunecookie]

Eeeewwwwwww.....

[WhiteGuy]

If he is guilty he can't play the race card.

- - His brother, in a public statement, refered to the arrest as a "modern day lynching" - -

Race card in play..................

[george wythe]

The Sheriff and the District Attorney claimed yesterday that they had sealed the facts about this case.

Apparently, they e-mailed several journalists a copy of all the police files before they "sealed" the file.

[cyncooper]

Thank you!

[fortunecookie]

Ew, ew, ew. It's beyond wierd.

Shhh... Listen, can you hear it? Yep, that's the sound of all the people (read - wierdo's) voicing their support of pooooor MJ. It will be interesting to see who supports him and justifies each newly uncovered layer of wierd. Eeewwww.

[LibertySailor]

I cannot figure out why they are getting this creep just now

Of course late, is better than never.

[longtermmemmory]

if true that zaps the "not timmed" claims the police and DA were making. It only takes a dumb move like that to impune a case. dumb. They should have kept their emails to themselves.

[KiaKaha]

The description of "Bare chested children” is a little vague.

Bare chested children performing indecent acts? or Bare chested children as in any shot of children at a swimming pool?.

I am sorry but the media’s ability to twist and turn anything makes me sceptical until it gets to court.

[LibertySailor]

Jacko is sick and deserves the maximum punishment
