FBI Releases Jackson Molestation Files THE FBI today released its investigative files on Michael Jackson, revealing that its offices in Los Angeles, New York, Manila and London had assisted local authorities in child molestation claims in 1993.

Between 1993 and 1994 and separately between 2004 and 2005, Jackson was investigated by California law enforcement agencies for possible child molestation. He was acquitted of all such charges. The FBI assisted in the investigation on both occasions.

The files, released due to a Freedom of Information request by media agencies, also show that in 1995 a US Customs agent in Florida requested the FBI examine a videotape connected with Jackson to see if it contained child pornography.

Forensic specialists discovered that the tape was a "poor quality third or fourth generation recording".

In 1992, the FBI also investigated threats made against Jackson and others by a man claiming to be mobster John Gotti Sr’s son. The man was later imprisoned for these crimes.

"I told you what will happen to John if he doesn't pay up. Michael I will personally attempt to kill if he doesn't pay me my money,'' reads one note to a New York newspaper.

Another May 1992 letter addressed "To All Concerned Parties'' threatens then-President Bush, saying, "I decided that because nobody is taking me serious, and I can't handle my state of mind, I am going to Washington, DC, to threaten to kill the President of the United States, George Bush. ... No answer ... is the only wrong answer''.

the documents reveal the Santa Maria Police Department in California was worried that Jackson’s April 30, 2004, arraignment on molestation charges could provide a target for terrorists.

Intelligence showed that wasn’t the case, though the FBI did note that a known Black Panther member was at Jackson’s first court date.

Jackson died on June 25 at the age of 50.
