Police armed with a search warrant raided Michael Jackson's Neverland Valley Ranch today as part of the child molestation investigation against him, a Santa Barbara County Sheriff's spokesman said.

Sheriff's spokesman Sgt Chris Pappas declined to comment further on the search.

Jackson (46) is charged in a 10-count indictment with child molestation and conspiracy.

The moonwalking entertainer, who has pleaded innocent, faces trial on January 31st. In November more than 60 sheriff's deputies raided Neverland, Jackson's estate in the foothills above Santa Barbara, looking for evidence that he had molested a young boy and plied him with alcohol.
