EX-MAID SAYS SHE SAW JACKSON NAKED WITH BOYS

A former maid for Michael Jackson has told authorities that she quit her job with the entertainer after seeing him naked with young boys on a number of occasions, sources close to the Jackson investigation said Monday.

Blanca Francia, the former maid, is scheduled to give a deposition this week. She declined to discuss what she saw in detail.

Larry Feldman, the attorney for a 13-year-old boy who alleges that Jackson sexually molested him, declined repeated requests for comment Monday on Francia or on her deposition, but he has said on previous occasions that she is an "extremely significant witness."

Amid a swirl of rumor and unconfirmed reports, Jackson returned to California on Friday after at least one meeting between his attorneys and prosecutors. Sources said those meetings dealt in part with the conditions for Jackson's return. - Los Angeles Times
