Drugs and Semen : The Taboo Truth About Neverland

March 21, 2019

During the 2005 investigation, startling revelations came to light. Forensic testing revealed semen from two unidentified males on Michael Jackson’s mattress, alongside his own. Further analysis uncovered semen from a third male on bed sheets and a pair of underpants found at the Neverland estate. Adding to the seriousness of the findings, traces of cocaine were detected on one pair of undergarments, while Jackson’s DNA was identified in blood spots that also contained Demerol.

Importantly, the semen did not match the genetic profiles of Gavin or Star Arvizo, intensifying the mystery surrounding the unidentified males. While there are many possible explanations for how the samples came to be there, the most plausible scenario suggested that Jackson either permitted other males to use his bed for sexual purposes, or engaged in sexual encounters with adult men himself. 

Following further testing to confirm the presence of semen, the prosecution sought to introduce the pair of stained underpants, attributed to another male, as supporting evidence. This move was intended to reinforce Gavin’s testimony that Jackson had a habit of keeping male underwear.

Below I will take you through what was stated in the legal documents.

DNA OF ANYONE OTHER THAN DEFENDANT

"Several semen stains were recovered from defendant's bed mattress and from a pair of underpants seized from his home, from which DNA was extracted. The profile identified as "male 1" is the defendant's. The other profiles found on the bed and the underpants are not his. The sources are unidentified. The DNA on the bed will not be referred to by the People. However the DNA in the underpants suggests that Jackson kept a pair of soiled underpants belonging to another male, just as he did with Gavin, thereby corroborating Gavin's testimony. We do intend to introduce that pair of underpants and the DNA results."

As expected, Jackson’s defence team diligently pursued every available avenue in their effort to prevent this crucial evidence from being admitted in court.

Mesereau response:

"There are two DNA reports in this case. The first DNA report says 3 male DNAs were found on Mr. Jackson's mattress. Of these 3 males, one was identified as Mr. Jackson, aka "male 1." The remaining 2 males were not identified. However, the report says that these 2 males are not the alleged victims in this case, i.e., Gavin Arvizo and Star Arvizo."

"The second DNA report says a fourth male DNA was found in bed sheets. The bed sheets presumably were found in a laundry bag, along with underwear. The fourth male is unknown, but is not the alleged victim, i.e., Gavin Arvizo or Star Arvizo. These DNA reports have no relevance to any of the charged crimes, particularly the alleged molestation, in this case. There is no nexus between Mr. Jackson's DNA and the alleged crime."

Thomas Mesereau’s silence regarding the semen stains discovered on Michael Jackson’s bed is striking. Rather than acknowledging the possibility that Jackson may have been gay or bisexual and engaged in consensual relationships with men in his home—or even considering that his bedroom might have been used by other men during his absence—Mesereau sidesteps these potential explanations entirely.

From a Semen-Stained Bed to Cocaine and Demerol

As previously noted, investigators also uncovered cocaine at Neverland and established that Michael Jackson was both using and misusing Demerol.

The prosecution document states:

"One pair of underpants recovered from Jackson's residence had a blood stain. The stain contained cocaine and Demerol. The DNA profile from that stain is in fact defendant's. It is believed that Jackson has been a Demerol addict for many years and a significant amount of evidence supports that belief. That evidence includes a near-empty vial found on his property with the label torn off containing Demerol; a letter from a Dr. Farschian in Miami promising defendant help in curing him of his "D" addiction; a doctor who acknowledged having delivered him Demerol to his house; and numerous witnesses who speak of his addiction'. In addition defendant has publicly acknowledged in the past that he had become addicted to prescription medications, and that he required medical intervention for that addiction."

"Defendant suggests the blood-spot on his underwear may have been the result of a "medical injection" he receives for "vitiligo." We are reliably informed there is no injectible medication for vitiligo. And that explanation doesn't account for the Demerol in the blood. We also will seek to introduce evidence of the presence of cocaine in his underpants. Cocaine was found on two locations on that garment; in the fabric sample contain the blood stain and on another sample of the fabric taken and examined as a reference sample. The most likely reason the cocaine was detected on both samples is that defendant excreted it in both his blood and his urine."

"How stoned was he when he crawled into bed with those two boys behind multiple locked doors?" may be a very relevant question. Should defendant testify, his chronic use of Schedule III drugs win be relevant on the issue of how well he recalls events and his state of awareness during those events."

Mesereau response:

"Mr. Jackson's underwear was found in a laundry bag, along with the bed sheets (discussed in section 13 above). This underwear had bloodstain and cocaine. A forensic lab for the Prosecution tested this underwear. No cocaine, however, was found in the blood."

"Mr. Jackson has vitiligo. A medical injection he receives causes him to dispense blood. The underwear with the bloodstain reflects this fact. It is unknown how and why the cocaine was found on the underwear. It may be evidence of contamination. In the alternative, someone may have brought cocaine during a fundraising party at Neverland in September 2003, where hundreds of people. including well-known celebrities, were present."

"In short, neither the underwear nor the cocaine found on the underwear {and not in Mr. Jackson's blood) has probative value to any of the charged crimes in this case. Mentioning these items of irrelevant and extraneous factors will only inflame the jurors and prejudice Mr. Jackson's rights to a fair trial."

Jackson’s defence team attempted to attribute the bloodstains to his vitiligo condition, claiming that he required medication administered through injections. This explanation, however, was swiftly rebutted by prosecutor Thomas Sneddon, who pointed out that no injectable treatment for vitiligo exists.

When addressing the discovery of cocaine, the defence sought to deflect responsibility onto possible “visitors,” hinting at the involvement of other celebrities at Neverland. Yet, given Jackson’s well-documented history of substance abuse—which ultimately contributed to his death—it is highly plausible that he himself engaged in cocaine use, even while sharing his bed with unrelated young boys.

It is particularly ironic that staunch supporters of Michael Jackson argue that Neverland provided a secure environment for children, supposedly under constant supervision—even within Jackson’s private bedroom. Yet the unexplained presence of two unidentified males in that very room—males who left behind reproductive bodily fluids without detection by security staff, maids, or other employees—seriously undermines the claim of a diligently monitored sanctuary.

In addition, the fact that Neverland regularly hosted celebrities—some of whom, according to Jackson’s own defence team, were using Class A drugs such as cocaine—further contradicts the notion that it was ever a safe haven for children.
