Police in the southern California city where pop star Michael Jackson stood trial on child molestation charges called in the FBI because they feared he might become a terrorist target.
The Santa Maria police were afraid the court case would be a “soft target” for terrorism, according to documents released by the FBI on Tuesday after a freedom of information request.
Federal agents had been looking into Jackson’s alleged involvement with young boys for nearly 10 years before that 2003 arrest, the documents show.
They also had looked into death threats against Jackson by a man obsessed with his sister, Janet, as far back as 1992.
The FBI released 333 pages of documents related to the late pop singer on Tuesday that date from 1992 to 2005.
At the molestation trial, FBI eventually concluded there was little risk of terrorism, although they noticed that a Nation of Islam follower and New Black Panther Party member, both unnamed in the files released, sat in the gallery in the early part of the trial. Jackson was eventually acquitted of all charges.
The files show FBI had been tipped off by their London, England, office in 1993 of an alleged inappropriate involvement between Jackson and an underaged male. Over the next 10 years, they made several investigations of the pop star, none of which led to charges.
Death threats against Jackson, president
Federal investigators assisted Santa Maria police in combing through computers at Neverland, Jackson’s California home, in the molestation case. They also helped customs officials investigate a video suspected to be child pornography.
Neither of those investigations yielded substantive evidence, according to the documents.
Michael Jackson’s death has been officially ruled as murder, it was revealed today. The cause of death on the 50-year-old’s death certificate has been amended to ‘homicide’ after months of speculation. According to the document the King of Pop died from ‘acute Propofol intoxication’ due to an ‘intravenous injection from another’. On the original certificate issued on July 7 deputy coroner Cheryl MacWillie refused to give a cause of death.
