Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, and nephew, Taj, have defended the singer over reports that child porn was found at his home.
As previously reported, Radar Online have shared police reports that images depicting nude children were discovered at his home in 2003, before he would face trial for child molestation charges in 2005. The 'Thriller' pop icon denied all charges and would later be acquitted.
A "book depicting nude children" and images of "pre-teen or early teenage individuals" who were either "nude or semi-nude" were found among the items.
Santa Barbara Senior Assistant District Attorney Ron Zonen told Radar: "We identified five different boys, who all made allegations of sexual abuse. There’s not much question in my mind that Michael was guilty of child molestation."
In a statement to Digital Spy, a spokesperson for Jackson’s estate has said, “Everything in these reports, including what the County of Santa Barbara calls ‘content that appears to be obtained off the Internet or through unknown sources’ is false, no doubt timed to the anniversary of Michael’s passing.”
The statement continued, “Those who continue to shamelessly exploit Michael via sleazy internet ‘click bait’ ignore that he was acquitted by a jury in 2005 on every one of the 14 salacious charges brought against him in a failed witch hunt.

Now, Jackson’s daughter Paris and nephew Taj have taken to Twitter to defend Michael.
Unfortunately negativity will always sell. I urge you all to ignore the trash & the parasites who make a career trying to slander my father.

The most pure people are always torn down.. It will continue to be proven that my beloved dad has always been and forever will be innocent.

Fake news travels fast. The world picked up this trashy story. There's such a race to be first, only a few checked to see if it's even true.

Not only is there absolutely no truth to this story whatsoever, but I'm truly sick of this crap. #getalife and stop living off ours.
