Jackson Accuser: I Knew More Than He Did
Smoking gun has uncovered another interview between Michael Jackson's young accuser and detectives:
The Los Angeles boy who has accused Michael Jackson of molestation told sheriff's investigators that the singer was a naif when it came to "the birds and the bees," claiming that his alleged abuser "didn't know much. I knew more than he did."
The surprising appraisal from the boy, now 15, came during a January 19, 2004 interview with Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department officials, The Smoking Gun has learned.
The boy, who was 13 at the time of the alleged molestation, replied that Jackson would "always, like, try to give me" advice about "the birds and the bees." However, the boy told investigators, "He didn't know much. I knew more than he did."
