A teenager who made several visits to Michael Jackson's Neverland home has told reporters he had many conversations with Gavin Arvizo, the child behind the latest abuse allegations - and that Arvizo only ever had compliments for Jackson.
Ahmad Elatab recalled one such conversation: "He said [his illness] healed up because Michael taught him how to get rid of cancer through meditation and stuff like that. He said he never saw Jackson do anything inappropriate. He told me how he hates his parents a lot... He said Michael was like a father to him."
"He called Michael sometimes 'Dad' and stuff. I saw how they acted around each other. He gives all the kids fatherly love, nothing sexual... Michael never touches him inappropriately and he never touches Michael inappropriately. They just hold hands, all the kids hold hands with Michael. It's fatherly."
Elatab admitted that Jackson's people had encouraged him to speak out in support of the singer, but added he strongly believes Jacko is innocent of all charges.
Elsewhere in Jacko news, Michael's brother Jermaine had to slip out of a UN press conference yesterday after being bombarded with questions about the latest Neverland sex abuse allegations. Jermaine was at the press conference to support an upcoming boxing match being held in aid of organisations trying to fight AIDS in Nigeria. Despite insisting he wouldn't comment on the Jacko scandal that's pretty much all the press wanted to talk about!
