Jacko had a library full of filth

A JURY had a glimpse of Michael Jackson's private picture book collection yesterday, including an Australian book: Camp Cove, Photos of Sydney Men.

The volume, which features pictures of naked men posing on the shores of Sydney Harbour, was in a parcel of evidence seized from his Neverland Ranch bedroom and tendered at Jackson's child sex trial in California.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Deputy Karen Shepherd testified to finding the book and another called Dress up: Playacts and Fantasies of Childhood, in a police raid on Jackson's luxury home.
The material - including pornographic but legally available magazines and DVDs - was found in two briefcases in the bedroom, a box at the foot of his bed, a nightstand, a plastic bag, a computer case next to his bathroom sink, on the edge of his jacuzzi-style bathtub, in a bathroom closet and stacked on a television.
It included magazines - with titles such as Barely Legal and Teenage - which feature young women meant to appear underage, along with more mainstream publications such as Penthouse and erotic books by well-known photographers. Most of the magazines and videotapes featured grown women.
Among the videotapes seized in the police raid was one titled Believe It or Not, which promised a variety of unusual sex acts.
It could bolster the testimony of his young accuser, Gavin Arvizo, although prosecutors have not linked the material directly to their case against Jackson.
Jackson's accuser Gavin Arvizo and his younger brother Star have said the 46-year-old entertainer showed them pornography in Jackson's bedroom.
On cross-examination by Jackson's defence lawyer Robert Sanger, each of the police witnesses agreed the material was legal to possess.
Jackson is charged with molesting then 13-year-old Arvizo in February or March 2003. He has pleaded not guilty.
