Report: Michael, Accuser's Porn Prints
It seems that everything Michael Jackson touches these days gets him into trouble.
Fingerprints belonging to both the embattled entertainer and his accuser were found on porn mags seized from Neverland Ranch last year, the Santa Barbara News-Press reported Saturday, citing unnamed sources.
Should the magazines be admitted as evidence at Jackson's upcoming child-molestation trial, it's expected that prosecutors would argue that the prints show Jackson leafed through the racy magazines with the boy before molesting him.
However, the defense could, in turn, argue that no proof exists that the two viewed the magazines together or that Jackson was even aware that the boy handled the magazines.
Both Jackson's accuser and the boy's brother frequently hung out at Neverland when Jackson wasn't home, according to the paper.
The News-Press did not elaborate on the contents of the magazines beyond the fact that they contained pornographic material.

Team Jackson has not responded to the latest allegations; however, both the prosecution and the defense in the Jackson case are bound by a gag order that prohibits them from commenting on matters related to the case.
Earlier this month, authorities descended on Neverland once again, citing an "ongoing criminal investigation" and requesting a DNA sample from the self-proclaimed King of Pop, which Jackson dutifully provided.
It's unclear what officials plan to do with the salivia-soaked cotton swab they collected from Jackson or whether their latest raid on Neverland resulted in any key evidentiary discoveries.
Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville is expected to decide next month what evidence can be admitted when the case goes to trial.
Jackson is due back in court on Jan. 31. He has been charged with 10 felony counts ranging from child molestation to conspiracy and has pleaded innocent across the board. He remains free on $3 million bail.
