Michael Jackson was reportedly discovered to harbour some weird addictions as law enforcement found mannequins, toys, paintings and other memorabilia during a search on the pop icon’s Neverland Ranch in November 2003.
Upon the search by the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office and Sheriff’s Department, disturbing items were allegedly recovered from Jackson’s home, including a signed photograph of actor Macaulay Culkin, who included the message: ‘Don’t leave me alone in the house’.

Authorities say he ‘had disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, and sadomasochism’ and that ‘many of the materials featuring naked men and women could be used to groom and then molest young children.’
In a court ruling in 2005, Jackson was acquitted on seven felony counts of child molestation and two felony counts of providing an intoxicant to a minor.
