Michael Jackson

According to MSNBC, an air service businessman was sentenced to eight months in federal prison on Monday for secretly videotaping Michael Jackson as the pop star flew to Santa Barbara with his attorney to surrender in a child-molestation investigation. Arvel Jett Reeves also was ordered to spend six additional months in a halfway house that offers drug and alcohol rehabilitation treatment and pay a $1,000 fine.   Reeves, the owner of XtraJet, and co-defendant Jeffrey Borer admitted they installed two digital video recorders to record the entertainer [Jackson] and his lawyer on a private jet from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara in November 2003. Borer, who instructed Reeves to obtain and install the equipment, intended ?to sell these recordings to the media for a large sum of money,? according to a plea agreement.   Borer and Reeves each pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy. As part of the deal, federal prosecutors agreed to dismiss two other. Borer?s sentencing was postponed to September. U.S. District Judge A. Howard Matz agreed Monday to give Borer more time to submit information about a personal issue.
