You mean this book that anyone can buy right now off amazon?
Room to Play https://www.amazon.com/dp/1931885095/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_31ePCbKARTR3M
“Simen Johan’s Room To Play has probably been most responsible for many of the more salacious media headlines, as Johan’s style (like that of Jonathan Hobin) often features photographs of children in what appear to be extreme or neglectful conditions. The “morphing” photographs in Johan’s book-where children’s faces appeared to be superimposed over adult bodies (and vice versa)-are clearly part of an artistic statement about the loss of childhood and what happens when children are forced too soon into the turmoil and pain of adulthood. “
Trust me, I’ve done all the research. I’m not a biased individual or Jackson fan trying to bend the truth. The guy was weird but the claims from his trials were spun so badly by the media it’s not even funny. None of these items were ever brought to trial because none of it would have ever held up in court.
Yeah, it all sounds so warped:
>Boys Will Be Boys included pictures of boys, many naked, in various non-sexual activities such as climbing a tree or sitting on a bench. The book had an inscription reading, "To Michael: From your fan. Love XXXOOO Rhonda – 1983, Chicago."[57] Another book, The Boy: A Photographic Essay was inscribed, "Look at the true spirit of happiness and joy in these boys' faces. This is the spirit of boyhood, a life I never had and will always dream of. This is the life I want for my children. MJ." The book contained pictures of boys in various situations by different photographers, including pictures taken during the filming of the 1963 Lord of the Flies movie and showed the boys on the set, usually clothed but sometimes nude, playing in the sand, reading comic books, and having pillow fights.[58][59] The only book depicting male sex acts was a rare out-of-print book called A Sexual Study of Man which featured many images of adult men engaged in all kinds of homosexual intercourse which the prosecution admitted they could not tell if Jackson had opened.[57]
Others are books like this:

Photo of Spence was of him as a toddler/baby.
And the teenage sex videos thing was because it was from websites like varsitysluts and collegewhores or whatever.
It compiles all the books together so people can actually see for themselves what this incriminating evidence supposedly was. Like Sneddon doesn't mention the inscription's in the books at all in this list, and those inscriptions pretty much give the game away as to the supposed sinister perversions behind them.
I mean I've seen Redditor's create a fuss over this book, presumably because they didn't know what it was:
http://www.amazon.com/Room-Play-Simen-Johan/dp/1931885095/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
I don't even think the prosecution bothered showing the Room to Play book to juror's as it seems more of a book on how kids are made to grow up too soon and a critique on the adultation of children, not a fixation. Anyone who had seen his childhood would know why MJ would've wanted a book like that.
Oh and the photo of Spence was of him as a baby/toddler
Where did you get this information? This is what's really scary, people believe crazy, made up shit.
The art book Room to Play that was found had weird artistic/gothic pictures. Some of adults in creepy rooms with children's faces superimposed on them. You can still buy it on amazon.
His secret room wasn't secret at all it was called the doll room. Just a bunch of toys and dolls in it.
I'm not sure which nude photos you're talking about?
One of Spence was of him as a toddler, and the other was something like this:

Do I think someone would be judged as owning child porn with both those things? I'd hope you'd be joking if you said yes.
The only two books of naked boys:
>Boys Will Be Boys included pictures of boys, many naked, in various non-sexual activities such as climbing a tree or sitting on a bench. The book had an inscription reading, "To Michael: From your fan. Love XXXOOO Rhonda – 1983, Chicago."[57] Another book, The Boy: A Photographic Essay was inscribed, "Look at the true spirit of happiness and joy in these boys' faces.

Others are books like this, which Redditors seemed to feel was really awful but actually seems to hurt the prosecution really:

He had two books, one sent in by a fan, the other inscribed himself about how it was a childhood he hoped his kids would have, and a photo of one of his friends as a toddler/baby (Spence).
This is the reality of what he had:

It's a prosecution motion which strips out all the context of what he had to portray it in the most sinister way possible. These were the only books involving naked kids or homosexuality in any way:
>Boys Will Be Boys included pictures of boys, many naked, in various non-sexual activities such as climbing a tree or sitting on a bench.

Photo of Spence was reportedly of him as a baby/toddler, hence why it was never admitted as evidence or why MJ was never investigated for sexually abusing him, which they would have done if they had that kind of evidence, after all they thought a signed autograph from Culkin in his bedside drawer along with invitations to parties and letters to friends and notes to himself and a copy of Playboy was enough to suggest something.
This is the reality of what he had:

He had only that one book with anything gay in it, the others were just photography books featuring nudes, some were sent in by photographer's he worked with, like Weber, others were by famous photographers like someone who was persecuted by the Nazis.
This list is just a prosecution motion, this is the reality of what he had:

Photo of Spence was reportedly of him as a baby/toddler.
Because this is what he had:
>Boys Will Be Boys included pictures of boys, many naked, in various non-sexual activities such as climbing a tree or sitting on a bench. The book had an inscription reading, "To Michael: From your fan. Love XXXOOO Rhonda – 1983, Chicago."[57] Another book, The Boy: A Photographic Essay was inscribed, "Look at the true spirit of happiness and joy in these boys' faces.

I guess when they confiscated those two books from that fan in 1993 that had been given to MJ in 1983, he hadn't known where else to obtain child pornography and so had left it at that, not collecting anymore and then not having any again when his home was raided in 2003.
Others are books like this, which Redditors seemed to feel was really awful but actually seems to hurt the prosecution really:

As they show how sad the adultification of children is, not how wonderful.
There's also books in there from photographers who'd sent them to him, other photographers who'd worked with him, and famous photographers like one who had been persecuted by the Nazis.
And the photo of Spence was of a toddler.
You also realize ALL of that was shown to three juries so far, none of which has indicted him with a crime?
It's because what you've posted has been completely intentionally stripped of context.
This is the reality of what he had:
