Police probing child sex abuse allegations against pop superstar Michael Jackson said on Thursday (August 26) that they had found no physical evidence to start criminal charges.
But a source close to the investigation said police were still seeking inverviews with other potential molestation victims of Jackson, who has denied all the allegations.
On Friday 11-year-old Australian Wade Robson told a reporter he had slept in the same bed as Jackson. Wade said they were both "fully dressed in pyjamas" and that "it's a huge bed -- he slept on one side and I slept on the other".
Wade said that Jackson "wouldn't hurt anybody" and that he did not have "a mean bone in his body". He said that Jackson had often given him just a friendly hug.
Wade's sister Chantal said that people are always saying something about Jackson and that this was "just another allegation that he has to put up with".
Wade's mother Joy Robson, who a U.S. television station reported is on the Jackson payroll, said she had "no problem" with her son sleeping in the same bed as Jackson and that she trusted the singer and did not believe he would ever cause "distress" to a child.
Joy Robson added that the singer "loves childen" and was always "very positive".
The father of the 13-year old at the centre of the allegations was also reported to have been spurned by the entertainer in an attempt to set up a 20 million (United States) dollar film deal.
Represenatives of Jackson himself have described the singer as the unwitting victim of blackmailers who made false child-abuse claims after he rebuffed their attempts to extort 20 million (United States) dollars.
The entertainer is currently in Bangkok, Thailand, where he cancelled a scheduled concert for a second time because of what his doctor described as "acute dehydration".
Jackson has promised to perform at a concert scheduled there for Friday.
