MICHAEL JACKSON sent a porn movie producer to Brazil to adopt boys for him. The claim was made by Marc Schaffel who is suing the star for £2.8million in unpaid expenses and fees. Schaffel told a court he travelled to Brazil once or twice a year between 1999 and 2001. He said: "Mr Jackson wanted to adopt some boys." The jury earlier saw a video of Jackson denying he made a secret pay-off to a family in Argentina. Schaffel claims he was sent to Buenos Aires to deliver the money. His lawyer Howard King asked Jackson: "Have you ever asked Mr Schaffel to take possession of money that was your money?" The singer replied: "Take possession? No. Not that I recall." King said: "Have you ever considered Mr Schaffel to be such a close adviser that you entrusted him with secrets you wanted nobody else to know?" "No," answered Jackson. The pop star's testimony contradicts earlier witnesses at the court at Santa Monica, California. Jackson's former financial adviser Alvin Malnik said the star told him to send Schaffel £200,000 to take care of an "urgent" situation. Schaffel told jurors Jackson sent him to South America and he withdrew £200,000 from his own overseas account. The former gay porn producer's books show the money being paid to a mysterious "Mr X". He claims he was never paid back by the singer. He also says Jackson owes him for loans and work he did on a charity record and TV shows. But Jackson alleges Schaffel kept his sculptures and paintings.
