As Radar reported, some evidence seized in the home included filthy photos and videos of men, women, boys and girls in perverted positions — to drugs to treat sex addiction, with multiple prescriptions written by a variety of physicians for people close to the star.

Former Santa Barbara Senior Assistant District Attorney Ron Zonen, who helped prosecute Jackson, told Radar: "A lot of this stuff was used to desensitize the children, and Michael admitted taking one child after another into bed with him for long periods of time."

"We identified five different boys, who all made allegations of sexual abuse," continued Zonen. "There's not much question in my mind that Michael was guilty of child molestation."

Jackson was charged after a young boy, Gavin Arvizo, came forward. The superstar faced up to 20 years in prison. Despite the mountain of evidence, a jury acquitted Michael of all charges in June 2005.
