Living with Michael Jackson and
People v. JacksonIn a series of interviews with
Martin Bashir, broadcast in 2003, as Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson was seen holding hands and discussing sleeping arrangements with
Gavin Arvizo, 13, who later accused him of
sexual abuse.
[125] Shortly after the documentary aired, Jackson was charged with seven counts of child molestation and two counts of
administering an intoxicating agent in relation to
Arvizo.
[125] Jackson denied the allegations, saying the sleepovers were not sexual in nature.
During the two years between the charges and the trial, Jackson reportedly became dependent on
pethidine (Demerol), and lost a lot of weight. The
People v. Jackson began on January 31, 2005, in
Santa Maria, California, and lasted five months, until the end of May. On June 13, 2005, Jackson was acquitted on all counts.
[126][127][128] After the trial, he relocated to the
Persian Gulf island of
Bahrain, as a guest of
Sheikh Abdullah.
[129] A
media circus surrounded the event.
