Jackson Pleads Not Guilty in Molestation Case

World | May 1, 2004, Saturday // 00:00

Michael Jackson pleaded not guilty Friday to a grand jury indictment that expanded the child molestation case against him to include a conspiracy count involving allegations of child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion. The indictment was released with the names of alleged co-conspirators deleted. It also said there were "other uncharged co-conspirators and co-conspirators whose identities are unknown." Jackson was originally charged with seven counts of lewd or lascivious conduct involving a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicant, reportedly wine, to a child under 14. I would like to thank the fans around the world for your love and support from every corner of the Earth, Jackson said after leaving the courtroom.
