LOS ANGELES — The father of
Michael Jackson’s young accuser
appeared on the verge of tears
Wednesday as a judge denied his request
to see his children.
Barred from contacting the boy and his
brother and sister, the father had asked to
visit his son because of rumors the boy is
sick and because he hoped to determine if
Jackson molested him.
Although he denied the request,
Superior Court Judge Richard E. Denner
scheduled a Feb. 24 hearing to hear any
additional evidence showing why the
father should be allowed to have contact
with the boy.
Jackson has pleaded innocent to seven
counts of performing lewd or lascivious
acts on a child under 14 and two counts of
administering an intoxicating agent, report
edly wine. He is free on $3 million bail
pending trial.
The father pleaded no contest to child
cruelty in 2002 and spousal abuse in 2001
and was barred from seeing his children.
The boy’s mother filed for divorce in
October 2001. The father’s attorney, Russell
Halpern, said he has since completed class
es in parenting and anger management.
The father has said that if rumors about
the boy’s health are true, then it is important
his side of the family get back intouchio|
available as potential organ donors.
William Dickerman, a former allot)
for the family, told the AP last week!
the boy was ill. Jamie Masada, a friend
the family, said in November the k
remaining kidney was failing, though
said last week his condition was impt!
ing.
Halpern said the mother’s attorn
produced doctors' letters saying thei
was in stable condition. It was unck
whether that meant the boy had beenh
pitalized.
The boy has lost a kidney to can
surgery, but law enforcement offict
have suggested the boy is healthy.

EVANS
ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) — R&B singer Faith Evans
and her husband were arrested on drug posses
sion charges after police say they found marijuana
on the couple during a traffic stop in an Atlanta
suburb.
Evans and Todd Russaw, a record executive,
were charged with possession of cocaine and
marijuana and booked at the Fulton County Jail.
Evans was released on $12,000 while Russaw
was released on $11,000. A judge scheduled a
who signed Evans to his Bad Boy label.
Evans is the widow of the late rapper Christopher Wallace, kna
as The Notorious B.I.G. Wallace who was killed in a dnve-bysltt
ing in March 1997. Evans is the mother of Wallace’s young sot

Art Garfunkel apparently contesting
marijuana possession charge
preliminary hearing for Feb. 11.
The couple’s vehicle was pulled over around 7:50 p.m. Tuesday in
Hapeville for an improperly displayed temporary license plate.
During the traffic stop, officers found a “minimal amount” of mari
juana on both of them as well as cocaine residue on Evans, said
Hapeville police spokesman Capt. William Lyons.
Neither were under the influence at the time, Lyons said.
Evans’ attorney, Vincent L. Dimmock, said his client never was in
possession of any drugs or narcotics.
“These are absolutely ridiculous charges that authorities have lev
eled against Faith. She was never in possession of any drugs or
narcotics whatsoever," her attorney, Vincent L. Dimmock, said after
the bond hearing Wednesday. “We believe that she will be vindicat
ed completely of these charges when we get into court."
Evans, 30, is best known for hits such as “You Gets No Love" and
“Soon As I Get Home.” She earned a Grammy nomination for her
duet “Can’t Believe” with Carl Thomas, recorded on her 2001
album, “Faithfully," and recently appeared in the film “The Fighting
Temptations” with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyonce Knowles. Evans
also has worked with Whitney Houston and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs,
