Mazen Alotaibi, 23, faces charges including kidnapping, sexual assault with a minor and felony coercion.
A sergeant in Saudi Arabia's air force was jailed in Las Vegas on charges that he pulled a boy into a hotel room and sexually assaulted him the morning of New Year's Eve.
Mazen Alotaibi, 23, faces charges including kidnapping, sexual assault with a minor and felony coercion that could get him decades in state prison, according to police and charging documents obtained Friday.
The boy, who is younger than 14, told police the man forced him into a room at the Circus Circus hotel on the Las Vegas Strip and raped him. Police arrested Alotaibi after being called to the hotel before 9:30 a.m. Dec. 31.
"There was a kidnapping and sexual assault with force," Las Vegas police Lt. Dan McGrath said. "The victim said he was forced into the room and sexually assaulted. We have a strong case based on the evidence."
The boy, who lives out of state, was staying at the hotel with his family, McGrath said. He was taken to a hospital for medical treatment and evidence collection and released later to family members. His name was not made public.
McGrath said Alotaibi produced a Saudi Arabian military identification and said he was stationed at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland near San Antonio, Texas. U.S. federal authorities and Saudi military officials were notified, the police lieutenant said.

Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland spokesman Brent Boller told The Associated Press that records showed Alotaibi is currently stationed at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Miss. Boller said he could not immediately verify if Alotaibi had been at Lackland, but noted that international military students attend a Defense Language Institute English Language Center on the base to improve their English-language skills.
Alotaibi's lawyer, Don Chairez of Newport Beach, Calif., said Friday he had been in contact with U.S. military authorities at both air force bases and with the Saudi government. He said Alotaibi had come to Las Vegas for the New Year's celebration and will plead not guilty.
Alotaibi also is charged with burglary, which in Nevada can stem from a person entering a building with intent to commit a felony.
The alleged attack took place on the sixth floor of a 15-story hotel tower. Circus Circus has a total of 3,767 guest rooms in three towers and five three-story motor lodge-style buildings dubbed Circus Circus Manor.
The arrest was first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It cited a police report saying the boy was 13.
Alotaibi was being held without bail at the Clark County jail pending an evidence hearing Jan. 17.

Cut his head off and post it on YouTube. What's good for the goose.
Then not many will be left in Saudi Arabia, a strategic ally for both Republicans and Democrats.
They should strip him naked and hog tie him and let a big horny boar drill his bun hole. Then put the video on youtube.
This is what the Muslim religion and the scorn for women creates, a bunch of pedophile rapists.
Another disgusting event brought to you courtesy of religion.
Bet he is a republican.
And I bet you sleep with a tinfoil hat on...
Bet he is a Republican.
Do you realize how big of an ASSH0LE you sound like?
Besides the obvious that he isn't an American citizen, it is Liberals who support the kid gloves with Islam.
Reps. were branded bigots for fearing Islam.
I'm not sure if it possible for you to sound any stupider.
Must be one of Obama's 47%ers posting.
you are a bigot. the republican crack was totally uncalled for and let's not clump all religion together in the same barrel.
Bored = FAIL!
Are Hillary and Liebermanns Republicans?
Hillary learnt a lot of lessons from House of Saud on human rights, women rights and all rights.
The followers of Islamic cult have only done hating, raping, kidnapping, stealing, looting, killing and genocides of "minorities" since its birth. Mohammed is the best model.
When they started losing in their games badly, then they had love, peace, charity singings, dances, Ramadan shows all night along! They are called Sufis.
Unfortunately, Sunnis following Saudi version of Salaffi and Wahhabi have declared these Sufis as infidels and now go bang: jihad on them.
So poor love and peace dancers are on the run in Mali, Pakistan and other places.
By the by, can these love and peace come to the US, Britain and other places and teach how Sharia Laws are good?
Yow yow wait up there ! Who wiped out the Native Americans you self righteous hypocrite ! The biggest genocide in the history of man ! Islam has strict war rules where it is strictly forbidden to kill women, children, and elderly people ! Islam even has environmental concerns whereby it is even forbidden to destroy trees ! Study Arabic, read the Quran before you judge what you do not know ! Islam has reached peace with their Budhist and Hindu neighbors till western imperialist capitalist arrived with their divide and conquer BS and destroyed the harmony all over our planet between nations and peoples even within the our nation !
T.Neville : Are you still unemployed? If you're relatively healthy, there are plenty of jobs most don't think about. Military Sealift Command and trucking-200,000 vacancies. I'm sorry you lost your home and hope everything improves for you.
Bored, why would he be a Republican when it is the bleeding heart liberals who condone homosexuality? Try again.
Are them drones Obama's firing at them your idea of kid gloves?
Larry Larry Larry, drones mostly slaughter innocent people. Would you accept drones used in the United States against criminals here ? If you do then you drank too much Fluoride and your definitely New World "Order" material.
ProudWestVirginian: Liberals support the rights of consenting adults to love whom they please. This man kidnapped and raped a child. I guess a man who rapes a little girl is engaged in a garden variety heterosexual relationship by your standards. Oh, and you are on the wrong side of history regarding gay rights. Some conservatives have (finally) seen the light on this, but by all means, keep your bigot flag flying.
They were branded appropriately, it seems.
To the above ditto heads,
If you want to believe in a sky zombie please just keep it to yourself. I fought for freedom FROM your B.S.
Oh and get off the faux news teat, I mean really! did you miss the last election cycles? Legitimate rape? Personhood which ends birth control? Lilly ledbetter act? Binders full of women? ad naseum. This is the American Taliban's version of Sharia law (and they legislate against it to hide their version)
Republicans always opine about the good ol days. What, when there was slavery? When people of color knew their place? When labor worked to pay the company store? When children could work in factories? When rivers burned?
Oh yea, when old white males called all the shots...................
5:33 The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom.
Such a peaceful religion with strict rules no less........LOL....Just like all religions until it is not convenient.
Yet they call me an @!$%#. Always the Homosexual references from these Republicans, get out of the closet and join the human race will ya!
Republicans, give up your version of Sharia and get back to true conservatism. Otherwise go the way of the Whig's and Dodo's.
You seem to have a thing for taking points out of context. Drones are used because countries like Pakistan are too decentralised and corrupt to take control of areas Islamic extremists occupy. There are no police. They won't let us in, if we wanted to chase these people all over earth. There is no court, and no justice. What there is are fiery missiles that punish people who associate with suspicious types.
I don't support the drones, but that doesn't mean I buy into the conspiratorial crap. Why do you think we spend money to "slaughter innocent people?" Take my word, we have better uses for our money; come up with a better story that makes sense.
So you are a fan of corruption?
That sounds self-contradictory. Of course they let us in - we go in with drones. The reason we go in with drones is that it's 0 risk to us, and if and when we kill children and innocent civilians, we still don't have to pay anything.
I'm sure the Bush way of invading with 500,000 troops dropping more tonnage of explosives than we did in WW2 never killed an innocent. Clearly targetting known enemy leaders with smart bombs is so invasive. No I wouldn't support drones in the U.S. targeting criminals nor the Bush way with Bradleys, cruise missles and B-1's.
How very John Wayne of you. The Bush way of 5000 American soldiers dying in his pursuit of finding imaginary WMD is so much manlier. Too bad it wasn't people like him and you that paid that price. Most of us put a higher price on American lives and bleed less for terrorists. Amazing how little regard right wingers had for innocents killed when Bush and Cheney were doing their thing. Now they cry for them. Where was your outrage when Bush started these?
I wonder if you were there and had the choice between being on the team that went deep into a hostile country possibly having to fight hundreds of armed terrorists if you'd choose to go in or send a drone? Funny how right wingers talk about bleeding heart liberals than cry about a possible innocent killed. If you were that concerned where was your outrage when the invasion of Iraq was estimated by the UN to exceed 100,000 Iraqi's killed with over half non combatants? How about a few tears for the Americans that would be killed going after the dirtbags possibly planning another 9-11. In any case you'd be safe as I doubt you've fought anything more violent than a cold.
I'd say the Obama way takes less lives.
What did you fools expect when you let these devils into the country? That's what you get, its all about the mighty dollar with you demons.
The difference between the devils here and the devils in Saudi Arabia is that Saudi Arabia like many Islamic countries puts child rapists to death, not decades in jail.
However, if he was a victim himself, and this more often than not is the case I'd say a decade or two given that he used force on his victim is justice.
BudsAndSuds : Not really; what he did is normal behavior in Muslim countries. The even go to poor African countries and get little boys to raise with their sons and the poor little boy stays with the family until at least 22 years of age before he is sent home. Sometime if they are in love, they stay together. Do some research and you will see this is true.
"Mazen Alotaibi, 23, faces charges including kidnapping, sexual assault with a minor and felony coercion that could get him decades in state prison, according to police and charging documents"
These Las Vegas police are wrong.
Alotaibi was imagining that he was flying a House of Saud's jet!
Many look the other way when House of Saud models of human rights do such things regularly.
So why not the police permit the sergeant to fly his jet like their masters?
Can those big talkers/dancers of Britain let us know: what happened to the Saudi prince who tore his body guard to pieces in London?
Did the case reach up to EU human rights commissions?
Oh no its not. Just because some zealots took down the World Trade Center all Islamic people must be evil?
I've seen videos on youtube of them hanging people who raped women. I assure you they execute child rapists. The only thing that concerns me is that they might not establish a psychological profile and sexual abuse history before executing people for these offenses in Islamic countries.
It's not that they are too lenient that worries me in dealing with human rights issues, it's that they might be too harsh without considering the background of the person committing an offense that might warrant the death penalty unless the person was a victim themselves.
His being a victim himself is an invalid excuse BudsandSuds. If he was a victim, then he should have enough compassion not to want to see the same thing happen to someone else. What he is is a self consumed pig, no matter what his race, creed or ethnic origin is. My apologies to bovines for the comparison.
just hang this stupid jerk. an eye for an eye
what's up with all that "i hope he rot in prison"? im sorry but you rape a child you should die. period !
If he was identified as a victim and received counseling then you statement holds true. Also depends a lot on how old he was, if he was a victim. What if he was as young as four? What if the incident wasn't an act of coercion but a violent aggressive act? There are many factors to consider. Not all cases of sexual abuse are the same. No one's saying that he shouldn't do 20 years in jail. What I am saying is the death penalty if he was a victim is overkill.
My point was this. Having seen youtube videos of Iran hanging 3 guys who raped a woman then they absolutely have a more stiff penalty than we do for child rape. I wonder if they would even consider this Air Force sargeant might be a victim himself before hanging him.
When Sandusky was first convicted I saw that he requested to be put in with the general population. I was happy to hear that. And then I thought, you know if he was a victim himself putting him in the general population would be unjust. In fact the very fact that Sandusky didn't eat his gun like Adam Mayes suggested to me that he was victim otherwise "the Man upstairs" would have sent him to the same place as Adam Mayes.
This is all hypothetical.
So, if you're a victim, it's ok to make more victims? Sorry, not buying what you're trying to sell. It's a crap shoot excuse and I've been told I'm a horrible person for not wanting to coddle the sick perverted fu.ks that do this to kids. No, I don't care what you went through, but I do think the person who did it should fry along side you. This thing was an adult. He should know better. He should be sickened at the thought of having sex with a child.
Bring back the brass bull.
I bet he will be spirited out of the country and setup shop back in Saudi Arabia where he can bugger all the underage boys he wants with impunity.
instead of cutting his head , it is better for sake of the people of USA to kill all the Saudi Royal family.
That won't happen.
Iran might do it though.
Yes!
For the sake of world peace it is better to wipe out all the oil rich bigoted seventh century Sunni rulers of House of Saud, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE and other Sunni Arab League nations.
At least we will have no more Sunni Salaffi and Wahhabi mosques, hate preaching and killer training centers, cropping up all over the world.
He who rapes in Vegas , stays in Vegas. He'll get 20-40 years and serve 12.
That is not a fun prison in Vegas. Hotter than hell and smells like ASS.
If he gets sent north to Eli or Elko he will freeze he desert ass off.
Of course there is always a chance that Harry Reid pulls some strings for our Sunni visitor and this guy is shipped out.
I pray this young boy will get all the help he needs so he can heal from this awful abuse.That his family will be able to support and assist him in recovering from the loss of his innocence.As such evil acts can scar children for life if they don't get the right kind of therapy and guidance.Such trauma can take years to overcome.
As for the individual who committed this heinous act, there is no excuse, no justification for mercy,even if he had been abused himself to stay the scales of justice. There comes to mind a scripture however which seems to describe this situation adequately.Mark 9:42
"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea"
Nothing like bringing the enemy right into our country and giving them access to our bases.
Why isn't this training done in the Middle East.
Oh, and yes . I know S. A. is an ally.
It is also the religion and force fighting a war in Syria right now.
When the Shiites and Jews are all dead Sunnis will target us with everything they have.
In S.A. that is called SPEED DATING.
Just like Muhammad said, Enjoy them BOY PEARLS.
he reads about this happening daily in the u.s and figure its the ..cool american thing .
I find it disgusting that so many hypocrites are using this occasion to insult Islam, a religion that brought a great amount of enlightenment to our species. What this criminal did is even more disgusting and I hope if he is guilty that he gets the full punishment due. Do not blame Islam for Saudi Arabias perverted twist in its interpretations. True Islam is absolutely innocent of Saudi Arabia and its conduct as True Christianity is innocent of the hypocritical Vatican, and as Judaism is innocent of aggressive Zionism ! All religions if truly followed are blessings to man-kind.
What a crock of Shiite.
it is obvious Johnnie Pinetree, that you aren't up to speed on the changes in islam. their clerics say it's ok to marry 1 year old and you can rub on them until they are 9 years old, then it's full on sex, wheter they want it or not. Oh, and let's not forget that they are told it is permissable to beat your wife. Oh yes, islam is great....NOT
I do not know which "clerics" you have been listening to ?! How-ever the "clerics" in "Saudi" Arabia do not represent Islam, but their "westernly educated " corrupt masters. The Quran is what truly represents Islam, and unfortunately most of you will not even bother to learn Arabic to truly comprehend what is written there. You only judge based on blind hate, perhaps you were a "Boy Toy". Proper muslims raise their children beautifully, and they treat their women way better than you treat women in the corrupted western world. You get innocent 18 year olds, supposedly, and gag and rape them with football teams, all your most beautiful girls are turned into drug addicts and prostitution as a result of hypocritical religion and truly satanically brainwashed masses. So as Jesus once said, look at your own faults before judging others !
I've yet to see "true Islam" or "true Christianity" for that matter. Mostly religion is used to control populations, nothing more than power and greed.
Johny has been all over these forums today.
It's no surprise to anyone that young boys are raped in the middle east, it isn't a surprise that the women are treated like property.
BTW Johny if the USA wanted to simply kill civilians it could do it easily without worrying about retribution or defense from any country on the planet. The USA has trouble killing the particular people it wants to. it takes great care in NOT taking civilian deaths. That is the truth, I'm sorry if you don't believe it but if you consider the facts, the capabilities and resources of the US military you would only be left with that conclusion.
So he raped a kid. Hell, the Saudi's slaughtered 3000 American citizens, destroyed a landmark building, and got rewarded for it. How are we going to reward this Saudi for raping an American kid?
He already had one of his virgins.
God is Great.
Hey, don't you know it's not PC to tell the truth?
hell, let's just send him on his way to get the other 72 virgins!
No one else is alarmed that these guys are inside of our bases?
I was at Lakeland, (besides basic training) there was a whole "section" of the base devoted to training Foreign Officers and NCO's. At Sheppard AFB there were classes of foreign students. Not only do we sell them the hardware but we train them to use it.
I was also at Sheppard AFB, and during my tour there was a barracks chief over a group of Iranians. To say they were animals is an insult to the animal kingdom. They never bathed once during the six months I was in the same dorm. Their leader advised me to let him manage his troops and stay out of the way and there would be no problems. I did and there wasn't any trouble. All I had to endure was a constant overwhelming stench of body odor. And best of all my squadron commander advised me to just let it go. If Americans only knew how our enemies are catered to by our government.
The size of Sheppard and how many people was trained there from hospital to mechanics and now its closed. At George AFB we had a whole squadron of Germans flying F-4s
Sheppard AFB is not closed. Maybe some of the training was moved out, but it's far from closed. It is still the NATO training base. I've never heard of any Iranians there.
Thank you, Last I heard a while back was when I saw it on a list of Military installation closings. The Air Force could have changed it's mind. When I was there (many years ago) I dont know what nationality they were but there was students from other countries.
They have allowed foriegn military training on US military bases for many years. Way back [over 30 years ago] when I was at Sheppard AFB, there were Iranians in training there. I saw them at Lackland AFB TX, Keesler AFB MS and a few at Eglin AFB FL over my time in the military.
In Far East Muslim countries, having boy toys is the norm. Ask anyone who has spent any time there, civilian workers or military. What he did in Las Vegas, would be bragging rights in Saudi Arabia. Prison won't be so bad for him considering his background. He spent his youth as someones boy toy, so in his mind, he did nothing wrong.
How do you know this ? Were you a "Boy Toy" ? I grew up in Islamic countries and only Saudi Arabia had this reputation. Saudi Arabia due to its Imperial investors got more and more corrupt. True muslims are truly persecuted in Saudi Arabia where only the corrupt are allowed to succeed. Islam is absolutely innocent of todays "Saudi" Arabia. As a Christian I have read the Quran and the behavior of this pilot is absolutely criminal according to the Quran. Sex is only permissible in marriage between male and female, and absolutely not permissible in any other situation. As for MC Gusto I am only alarmed that people like you exists and in very large numbers !
I'm 1 of a kind bitch.
Talk to some people returning from Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. and you will understand this is normal behavior. Oddly enough, the Taliban don't see it that way.
Thats because the Afghans and Iraqis who work with our troops hate their own religion and people, and are the nastiest of their society that commit such horrible behaviors with no sense of ethics or values, and dream of immigrating to have access to wealth and blonds, and unfortunately for Americans, these are the quality of "people" that America is welcoming.
There is ONLY ONE MC Gusto!
Johny, you either know you're lying or are blind or very, very stupid.
Roc you up early today or late from last night?
Up Early, Deer Hunting.
If you're going to blame religion you might as well include Adam and Eve. What the Dickens was in that apple, anyway? One devil of an aphrodisiac if you lunatics believe how many creepy-crawlies were spawned from that tree. Just joking folks. It's just sex. One half of the world sets arbitrary age limits, the other half takes pre-teen wives. And who started all this buggery business? Obviously, not civilised yet.
Don't they cut offending extremities in that country? I know some will say it's his mind who is sick, but if you cut his dick off then the mind can stay sick all it wants.
Throw him off the top of the building and he will be CURED of his sickness in a few seconds.
Lets just hope that this demented piece of crap doesn't get released to his military. He will be taken back to his country and never seen again, that includes for the trial. The military will sweep this under the rug and this poor kid will be left to suffer.
I met some Moroccan men several years ago (friends of a friend). We spent a New Years Eve talking and BBQing. During the course of that night they told me that it was the norm in Islam for women to engage in anal sex prior to marriage as it does not break the hymen, thus ruining them for their husband's. They also told me that while many men were straight, they did resort to anal sex with other males (they did not specify age groups for either men or women) prior to marriage as a form a sexual relief. Their justification was that if it is not vaginal, it was not truly sex, thus they remained "virgins". Whether these men were BSing me or not, I don't know. However, after reading this article, I hope they were speaking of only consensual sex between adults.
I have met such nasty people as you mention, but they are not religious and many times hate their own religion. Many of them can't wait to kill their fellow countrymen in the hopes that that would one day give them access to beautiful western blonds. And unfortunately these are the quality of nasty people that western governments welcome to western nations.
Sorry, Johny, but I've been to the Middle East on more than one occasion, and while I've not seen women brutalized, I have seen the unequal treatment they are given. It's almost as if they are second class citizens. I cannot respect a culture that will allow men to freely groom themselves in public, but not women. I do not agree or respect a culture that makes women hide themselves from the public. I do not respect a culture where a man can run in to a woman, knock her down, and continue on as if nothing happened without so much as an apology or an excuse me. I cannot respect a culture that tells women they cannot make eye contact with men, and if they are traveling with a man, they cannot speak to a taxi driver, but must allow the man to do it. That's disgraceful.
These Moroccan men that I met and spoke with for an evening demonstrated some of these same traits. While their practices and beliefs may not be the norm, the unequality, and what I consider demeaning treatment is, and I know this from first hand experience, not from watching TV or talking to someone else.
When I lived there me and my Arabian friends would have beaten up any guy that dare lay a hand on a woman. And the girls were free to go about anywhere. Victorian England was much like that, except that in Islamic nations women vote and drive cars, except in Saudi Arabia. What you are talking about is mostly taking place in Saudi Arabia and is being exported to other Islamic nations with the baking of western financiers to make Islam look bad. The Saud family job is to make Islam look bad, so as to create a divide between the people of different nations, how-ever Islam is innocent of them and the ignorance that they export. But unfortunately much of the world today is going in the wrong direction.
I have spent years living in the Mid East and Johny Pinetree is spot on. This is a Saudi corruption problem.
JMB1981... I agree with johny as far as this kind of stuff happens mostly in saudi arabia which has the most oppressive and corrupt regime in the middle east. but for you to lump all middle easterns as pervert is just shows that you have an agenda of demonizing the whole middle east. it would be more appropriate to specify the country that you have traveled to than just lumping the whole middle east as one. there are over 30 countries in the middle east. they are not all arabs and they are not all muslims. the greater middle east includes armenia, israel as well as iran. so please be more specific of what country you are referring to.
jmb1981.. one more thing I forgot to mention is that morocco is not even in the middle east. it is a part of north africa. It is funny that you have traveled to a country and don't even know what continenet they are in. it just discredits all your points.
Behead the criminal in Vegas under " Sharia Law " on CNN.
Allah Hu Akbar
Chop off his head.
i hope if and when the criminal is found guilty , the child's parents will be allowed to sue the Saudi Air force. i hope they can get some compensation, to help pay for their sons need for therapy.
Saudi's are too civilized for that to be not on the down low. The guy should have got his freak on in Afghanistan or Yemen or Iraq where nambla-esque behavior is tolerated by US troops:
As recently covered by Examiner.com, the U.S. Army has floated a draft of a new training manual to be utilized for troops in the Afghanistan Theater of Operation.
"
but they are not gay because boys are not men.
God is Great.
Sounds like the same crap PROPAGANDA they used on Native Americans, they called them "savages", but in truth the hypocrites are the true savages. Don't believe everything you read before you hate people to the level that you want to hurt them ! Study their language and deal with them as equals and friends and you will see that western media particularly British which represents the Bank of Englland wants to fill your minds and hearts with pure crap so that they can consolidate power. The young Afghans genuinely care about their elders and assist them in spiritual loving and descent ways ! Unlike the west where the family structures are being destroyed as part of pure capitalism, divide and conquer so that the children and parents even end up hating one another ! The Afghans used to be the most hospitable people on this planet, I only hope they can be able to restore that positive quality but I understand if they don't, since history has taught us that kindness is paid back with slaughter ! Go home soldier and tend to yourself and your own family ! Jesus said give "Caesars what is Caesars", he did not say to go join caesar, or go join the Roman army !
Since I'm not a member of the PC lemmings, I will make this statement/question; "Now do you understand why Michael Jackson moved to Bahrain, a Muslim country?" Of course, I'm speculating.
Haha now ur making me laugh Zheng He ! Are you truly a "he" ? Michael Jackson was living in California, where by the way he was murdered. You see his songs were of a moral nature that showed solidarity with the poor, unlike their dear so called "Madonna", no lady whatsoever if you catch my drift, did not fit well with the agenda of the New World maniacs.
Yes, Mr. Pinetree, he died in California. Before that, he quickly moved to Barhain when the heat was on & where his "alledged" behavior would be considered normal & he and his friends on the prowl could high-5 each other after each conquest. Of course, that's just pure speculation on my part & probably on the part of the family he bought off with $15 million dollars after "alledgedly " inappropriate behavior with their son. Just speculation of course.
Read.
Johny Jihad is a pop music fan. I'll be laughing about this all week.
@Zheng He
"So why Bahrain? Blame Jermaine, who is a friend of the son of the ruler of Bahrain. Jermaine must have impressed on his brother that he could get himself some private acreage and recharge in Bahrain.
Abdullah Hamad Al Khalifa did him one better. He lavished dollars and attention on Jackson, called him "my brother," and told media outlets that he had formed "a close personal relationship" with the star. No word from Sheikh Dad if he approved, though he must have. Jermaine, after all, had converted to Islam in 2001 after a visit to Saudi Arabia. The sheikh must've thought he could go two for two with the Jacksons, if not an eventual grand slam. Raised a Jehovah's Witness, The closest Jackson got to Islam until then was through his dalliances with the Nation of Islam. (The sheikh got his wish, belatedly: in November 2008, British papers reported that, on something of a whim, Jackson converted to Islam and changed his name to the Arabic sounding Mikhaeel.)
In September 2005, Mohammed Bin Sulayem, the United Arab Emirates' champion rally driver, took Jackson on sightseeing and real estate tours of the Emirates, with Abdullah in the backseat, probably to remind Jackson that his heart, left neither in Los Angeles nor San Francisco, was not in Bahrain, not the Emirates. Hadn't Abdullah given Jackson $300,000 for a "motivational guru"? (Abdullah, it should be noted, is an aspiring song-writer, and thought he and Jackson could cut a few albums together.)"
Uhh Huh.................Your knowledge and sources of information are pure crap. Nothing more........nothing less. I can tell for a fact that YOU have not read the actuall court transcripts and or ruling. Also I doubt that you have the benefit of having a Mom that's a former Lawyer turned Psychologist and before moving to this state my Grandpa was a Judge before retiring. Both explained things in detail. The police evidence vs. the kid's descriptive testimony alone screamed B.S. ...... the Arviso's were looking for easy money plain and simple.

"Looking back on the Michael Jackson trial, I see a media out of control. The sheer amount of propaganda, bias, distortion and misinformation is almost beyond comprehension. Reading the court transcripts and comparing them to the newspaper cuttings, the trial that was relayed to us didn’t even resemble the trial that was going on inside the courtroom. The transcripts show an endless parade of seedy prosecution witnesses perjuring themselves on an almost hourly basis and crumbling under cross examination. The newspaper cuttings and the TV news clips detail day after day of heinous accusations and lurid innuendo."

!
They should take Sgt. Mazen Alotaibi to the top of the building and throw him off. Let the parents and boy watch if they want. Sorry I have no patience with people that hurt children.
Some PC BS arrangement will be made and this will be swept under the rug never to be heard about again.
Maybe we should sweep him under the carpet in Vegas never to be heard about again. Maybe the Mob could find a place for him in the desert.
With Jimmie Hoffa?
I like that idea, but would Hoffa?
Really dont think he would have much to say.
