GRAPHIC= An arab diplomat accused of using the

for sex has apparently fled the
country.

Forty year old Salem Al Mazrooei
was detained last week in Bedford

County.

Authorities say he traveled there to
meet what he thought was a 13 year old
girl, but was actually an undercover
investigator.

Al Mazrooei immediately claimed
diplomatic immunity and authorities
were forved to release him a few hours
later.

Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Krantz
says the state department told him this
morning that Al Mazrooei and his family
flew home to the United Arab Emirates
over the weekend.

He still faces six felony charges in
Bedford County. Krantz says it is
unlikely Al Mazrooei will be allowed to
come back the U-S ever again.

MICHAEL JACKSON MAY BE THE DEFENDANT,

THE POP STAR IS REALLY THE VICTIM...OF
A FAMILY OF CON ARTISTS....AFTER

JACKSON'S MONEY. HIS OPENING
STATEMENTS CONTINUE TODAY.

J. RANDY TARABORRELLI/MICHAEL JACKSON
BIOGRAPHER

He's painting Michael Jackson as the

victim of the mother. He is

pointing out to the jurors that the
mother has a long history of asking

celebrities for money.

THOSE CELEBRITIES INCLUDE T-V HOST JAY
LENO.

STANDUP BRIDGE:

BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THE VICTIM'S MOTHER
NEVER INTENDED TO SUE JACKSON

... SAYING SHE QUOTE, "DIDN'T WANT THE
DEVIL'S MONEY."

TO MAKE THEIR CASE THE PROSECUTION IS
CALLING MARTIN BASHIR AS ITS FIRST

WITNESS. HE MADE THE DOCUMENTARY FILM,
WHERE JACKSON REVEALED HE

SHARED HIS BED WITH CHILDREN.

BUT BASHIR COULD FACE A TOUGH CROSS
EXAMINATION BY JACKSON'S DEFENSE

ATTORNEY ... WHO HAS BEGUN PAINTING HIM
AS A LYING OPPORTUNIST.

J. RANDY TARABORRELLI/MICHAEL JACKSON
BIOGRAPHER

He said that Martin Bashir lied to

Michael Jackson and promised he was

going to do a positive documentary and
he did not do that. I think that

Tom Mesereau is going to seriously
attack Martin Bashir today.

AND JACKSON'S TEAM COULD EVENTUALLY GO
AFTER THE ALLEGED VICTIM AND HIS

BROTHER ... WHO COULD LATER TESTIFY
JACKSON ONCE APPEARED BEFORE THEM

COMPLETELY NAKED. THE BROTHER IS ALSO
EXPECTED TO SAY HE SAW THE

SINGER MOLEST THE ALLEDGED VICTIM ON

coach basketball for VMI, the

winningest coach in school history has
been asked to stay on and work in the
promotions and marketing areas within
the athletic department.

Bellairs led the VMI hoopsters
for 11 seasons and had 116 wins and 191
losses.

But the Keydets haven't had a
winning season since the 1997- 98
campaign.

In March of 1996, he and then
head football coach Bill Stewart inked
longterm contracts with the school.

Then in February of 1998,
Bellairs was given a new 10- year
contract extension.

He is still under contract
through 2011.

This season the Keydets were just
9 and 18 overall, and only 3 and 13 in
the Big South - plus they failed to
qualify for the conference's postseason
tournament.

Athletic director Donny White
said while it was a tough decision, it
was simply time for new leadership and
a new direction.

A search for his successor will
begin immediately.
