Michael Jackson has been cleared of all child molestation charges after the intense four month trial.

The star was arrested in 2003 after British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Jackson who told him that he shared his bed with children.

Jackson could have gone to prison for 18 years had he been found guilty of ten counts of child molestation, giving the alcohol to minors and conspiracy to kidnap, but the jury returned a "not guilty" on all charges.

Fans who were waiting for the him to come out played his music and cheered, however, Jackson failed to give the statement that he was expected to.
