Michael Jackson is back in the headlines this week after reports that a collection of pornography was found at his Neverland Ranch in 2003.

His estate has hit back, saying it's simply untrue.

Radar Online gained exclusive access to videos of the raid and Dylan Howard from the website told Paul Henry many of the pictures, photographs and videos depicted underage people naked.

"What this actually is is the eyewitness account of the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department when they entered his Neverland ranch and the stockpile of evidence they collected," says Mr Howard.

"It shows that they found in Jackson's bedroom and bathroom alone at least seven collections of work of nude teenage boys. According to one investigator who spoke to me, it was 'disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, female bondage and sadomasochism' in his home."

Jackson's private lawyer Brian Oxman has confirmed the evidence was found in the Neverland Ranch, but is "simply art", says Mr Howard.

Much of the material was presented at the 2005 sexual molestation trial, in which Jackson was acquitted of seven felony charges.

"The videos are downright horrifying to watch in the sense that this art collection was behind walls that only Michael Jackson could access. In one of them you can actually see a framed photo of a young Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone," says Mr Howard.

"It paints a very disturbing portrait about what police actually saw when they raided that mansion many years ago."
