Beleaguered pop star Michael Jackson has said police manhandled him during his arrest last month on child molestation charges.
"They were supposed to go in and just check fingerprints, and do the whole thing that they do when they take somebody in," he told in an interview to CBS channel's '60 Minutes' aired on Sunday. "They manhandled me very roughly. My shoulder is dislocated literally."
The star said it is "hurting me very badly".
After surrendering to the authorities in Santa Barbara, California, he was released on a $3 million bail.
The pain from being handcuffed behind his back, he said, "keeps me from sleeping at night".
Jackson said he was locked in a restroom for 45 minutes after he asked to use the facilities. He said the room was smelly from human waste.
His bedroom at his multimillion dollar Neverland ranch, he said, was left a "total wreck" by investigators acting on a search warrant, though he admitted he has yet to see it.
Jackson, 45, is charged with seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent.
He strongly denied the charges and said that they were made for one reason -- his money.
He saw nothing wrong in a 45-year-old man sleeping with children in the same bed as long as there was no suggestion of sex. Actually, he said, he would put children visiting him on his bed while he would sleep on the floor.
