STORYLINE:

A 12-year-old cousin of Michael Jackson testified that he saw the pop star's young accuser steal wine and money and secretly watch pornography on television while masturbating.

Testifying Wednesday in the singer's child molestation trial, Rijo Jackson said the accuser's brother - another key prosecution witness - also took part in the misbehaviour during visits to Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch.

Jackson, 46, is accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy in February or March 2003 and plying the boy with wine.

He is also charged with conspiring to hold the boy's family captive to get them to appear in a video to rebut the damaging documentary "Living With Michael Jackson."
