Jackson 'accused of molesting Bubbles'

Michael Jackson has been faced with yet more disgusting molestation accusations today.

The singer, currently on trial for alleged molestation of a teenage boy, has been accused of getting "carried away" with his chimp Bubbles.

The New York Daily News claims that Jackson's former brother-in-law James DeBarge, whose marriage to Janet Jackson was annulled in 1985, made the incredible comments in a 1993 interview.

"He was changing Bubbles' diapers and just got carried away," the newspaper quotes DeBarge as saying. He apparently added that during the incident Bubbles "had a smile on his face."

Bubbles has been out of the limelight for the past few years, prompting much speculation over the chimp's fate. A Californian animal trainer confirmed yesterday however that Bubbles, now in his 20s, was still alive and "doing fine."
