Michael Jackson Sought On Molestation Allegations

The Associated Press reports Michael Jackson was being sought Wednesday on an arrest warrant alleging multiple counts of child molestation and authorities were negotiating with the pop star’s legal representatives to arrange a surrender. Jackson was asked to surrender his passport and was being given an opportunity to surrender “within a specified period of time,” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Anderson said. Bail would be set at $3 million. “I believe he’s willing to cooperate with us,” Anderson said. Charges “will be filed” against Jackson, District Attorney Thomas W. Sneddon Jr. said. Sneddon advised Jackson: “Get over here and get checked in.”
