Jackson Accuser Admits Lying

World | March 8, 2005, Tuesday // 00:00

A 14-year-old boy who testified that pop singer Michael Jackson molested his brother has acknowledged under cross-examination that the pop star had not shown him a sex magazine that the prosecution had introduced into evidence. The witness also said he lied under oath in a separate civil lawsuit when he swore that his mother and father never fought and that his father never hit him. The teenager, who visited Jackson's Neverland ranch for the last time in March 2003, became confused after Jackson attorney Thomas Mesereau showed him a copy of Barely Legal magazine dated August 2003. The boy had testified on Monday that the magazine was one of those that Jackson had showed to him and his brother. The boy is the only trial witness so far to testify that the molestation occurred.
