Santa Maria, California - A former security guard at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch claimed on Thursday he saw the star kissing, fondling and performing oral sex on a young boy in the 1990s.

In stunning testimony, former guard Ralph Chacon told the "King of Pop's" child-molestation trial in California that he saw the alleged incident when he peeked through a bathroom window.

Chacon said he first saw Jackson and the child, whom he said was "nine or 10 years old", in a jacuzzi, but the two got out and headed to the shower together.

Feeling something was amiss, the guard said he peeked through a window to see what was going on and saw Jackson and the boy naked.

"I saw Mr Jackson caressing the boy's hair, he was kissing him," he said adding that Jackson kissed the boy on various areas including his nipples.

Saw him having oral sex

Jackson then "put the little boy's penis in his mouth," Chacon told the court in the town of Santa Maria where Jackson is on trial for allegedly molesting a 13-year-old boy, two years ago.

Prosecutor Tom Sneddon asked Chacon to confirm that he had actually seen the alleged incident that took place in the early 1990s.

"Yes, sir," he replied.

While Jackson has never faced criminal charges in connection with previous alleged acts of molestation, Judge Rodney Melville has allowed prosecutors to tell jurors of five unproved claims against the star in order to prove a possible pattern of child abuse.

The star has denied 10 counts in the case, including molestation, plying the boy with alcohol and plotting to keep him and his family captive at Neverland.
