The young boy who is accusing Michael Jackson of sexual molestation took the stand yesterday. The young man, now age 15, stated that he slept in the same room as the singer and they viewed pornography on the internet. Gavin Arvizo, the plaintiff, found himself face-to-face with Jackson for the first time since leaving his home 2 years ago. The boy stated that he thought Jackson was "the coolest guy in the world", and considered him to be his best friend. Michael Jackson is accused of 10 charges of sexual molestation of a minor. If found guilty he could face up to 21 years in prison. Gavin, a cancer survivor, made a sneer and pointed to Jackson when asked if he could identify the singer in the Santa Maria, California court house. The boy stated that they looked at more than 7 pornographic internet sites for 30 minutes during his second visit to Jackson's ranch. Gavin also said in court that after those visits, the singer seemed more distant and stopped returning his calls. Later, Jackson invited the boy to participate in the filming of a documentary in 2003. The plaintiff then said that Jackson asked him to call him "Daddy Micheal" in the film and to say that Jackson had cured him of cancer. Gavin will take the stand again today to recount how he was molested by Michael Jackson. |
