Michael Jackson turned Neverland Ranch into paedo’s lair where star raped victim daily in secret hideouts, accuser James Safechuck claims

MICHAEL Jackson transformed his Neverland home into a paedophile's paradise with hidden sex dens to abuse kids every day, claims one of his accusers.

In the shocking documentary Leaving Neverland, James Safechuck tells how the famous ranch was a dreamland by day and a true nightmare after dark.

Jacko famously turned the sprawling estate he bought in 1988 into a kid's playpark with a zoo, ferris wheel, pirate ship, bumper cars, a rollercoaster and amusement arcades.

There was also a cinema with its own sweet shop and elephants, tigers, lions and llamas roamed its vast grounds in Santa Barbara County, California.

But those who say they have suffered at the star's hands claim the property is really a kid magnet which the Peter Pan of Pop used to lure and groom young boys.

Safechuck, now 41, alleged the pop oddball raped and sexually assaulted him around the 3,000-acre property from the age of 10.

He claims there were 10 secret spots on the property were he was allegedly assaulted by the music legend.

CREEPY ATTIC

"We would get a blanket and we would lie it on the floor in the closet, so we could close the door," said Safechuck of one spot.

"So there were bells and you could have a moment of hearing them trip so at least you knew if people were coming for him."

However, the sickening sex acts were not just confined to Jackson’s closet however, Safechuck told the documentary makers.

"He also had an Indian fort with like teepees so we would lay down sleeping and have snacks and have sexual relations there," said Safechuck.

"There was also a game room and then upstairs in the arcade there was a bed and we would go up there and have sex there."

Safechuck also named a creepy third floor attic, a remote house on the property and even the castle inside the amusement park as spots where he claims he was abused by Michael.

Then there was the cinema  - with a private room fitted with one-way glass - where Jackson was almost caught out by the then schoolboy’s mother Stephanie.

"The movie theatre had these two private rooms and you could see into the theatre… and we would have sex in those rooms," said Safechuck.

"That was a bit dangerous. There was a bit of excitement there."

The outdoor pool and hot tub were further sites of child sex abuse, claims Safechuck adding Jackson told him at the time that he had purchased the remote home just for him.

Safechuck alleges Jacko performed an underwater sex act on him while seeing how long they could both hold their breath for.

SEX TRIAL

The bedroom in Neverland’s train station was also a secret spot of sex assaults, according to Safechuck.

"And it would happen every day," he said.

When cops raided the property ahead of the star's famous 2003 child molestation trial they reportedly found photos of nude children and other pornography in a triple-locked closet in his bedroom.

“The vast majority of the pictures were of teenagers and/or young adults,” one investigator from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff Department wrote in a report at the time.

“Some of the pictures depicted individuals wearing no clothing, or in a partial state of undress."

According to Radar Online, officers also found drugs used for sex addiction and secret rooms, with the entrance to one obscured by a juke box.

Cops then found life-sized dolls of little boys during the raid, which had been dressed in denim jackets, shorts and trainers and positioned in bizarre poses.

The grim discovery was found in a room full of Disney memorabilia and toys, with one dummy positioned lying with his legs in the air above his head.

Jackson was cleared at his 2005 trial, and moved out of the ranch after stating he felt it had been "too violated" by police during the raid. It is now on the market.
