Police investigating allegations of sexual abuse against Michael Jackson seized boxes of photographs and other items from a home he owns, a source says.

A source speaking on condition of anonymity said that plainclothes officers Monday raided an estate in suburban Encino where Jackson's parents live. More than 20 boxes of material were confiscated, KNBC-TV said.Police are investigating a 13-year-old's claims that the pop star molested him. Jackson has not been charged with any crime, and his representatives say the allegations are part of an extortion attempt by the boy's father.

Cmdr. David Gascon said Tuesday the department was "not confirming any aspect of the investigation" but was "not denying that it was done."

Authorities previously searched Jackson's Neverland Ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, his Century City condominium and a Las Vegas suite where Jackson had stayed.
