Michael Jackson's family and friends have come out in his support after the entertainer was booked on child sex charges.
Jackson, 45, surrendered to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department Thursday. Freed on a $ 3 million bail, Jackon is now staying at Green Valley Ranch hotel resort in Henderson in Nevada state.
He has for company his three children, father and some other relatives and friends.
In a telephone conversation with CNN on Thursday, Michael's brother, Jermaine Jackson, expressed outrage over recent commentary about the allegations, comparing it to "a modern-day lynching" of a man whose life has been "about peace."
He said he and his family support Michael "one thousand percent" because they believe he is innocent, and that he himself is furious.
