For ten more years, Jackson continued to live peacefully with his friends at Neverland Ranch. But Peter Pan's eternal youth was about to come to a grinding halt. The reason for this was an airing of a TV documentary called Living With Michael Jackson, in which journalist Martin Bashir showed 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo holding hands with Jackson, and explaining their strange sleeping arrangements.
Things soon escalated, and Michael Jackson was soon charged by the state on seven counts of molestation, based on evidence given to them by Gavin Arvizo and his family. It was an 18-month trial, and one that world is unlikely to forget any time soon. Jackson pled not guilty, of course, and with rebuttals and scandal, tears and perjury, no-one quite knew how it was going to turn out.
