FBI Releases Jacko Dossier

The FBI released a troubling Michael Jackson dossier on Tuesday. The files show Jackson allegedly had once been accused of molesting two boys from Mexico and that the case was covered up. An unnamed source told the FBI that the agency had investigated such charges in 1985 or 1986 and was informed the case wasn’t pursued because Jackson was to get a medal from President Reagan. But an FBI agent said he’d found no evidence of such an investigation. The papers also contain allegations from a couple who rode a train with Jackson and were disturbed by Jackson’s possessiveness toward a 13-year-old “cousin”—the couple was also concerned by the “questionable noises” they heard through the wall. The FBI was asked to analyze a VHS tape that U.S. Customs had seized as part of a child-porn probe into the singer. The tape was labeled in part: “Michael Jackson’s Neverland Favorites An All Boy Anthology." The contents weren’t described; the only note was that it was “a copy of a copy of a copy.”
