The judge in Michael Jackson's child molestation case issued a warrant for the entertainer's arrest after Jackson failed to show up for his trial on Thursday, the day his young accuser was set to continue his testimony. Jackson's attorney explained that the 46-year-old entertainer was in the hospital with a back problem. The judge rejected that explanation, ordering that Jackson's bail be revoked and the entertainer jailed if he did not appear within an hour.
Jackson's 15-year-old accuser was to have begun his second day on the witness stand on Thursday morning.
Jackson is accused of sexually molesting the boy, a cancer survivor, and plying him with alcohol at the entertainer's Neverland Valley Ranch in 2003.
