Pop star Michael Jackson has been charged with nine counts of child molestation.
Mr Jackson, who denies any wrongdoing, was arrested last month following a highly publicised police raid on his Neverland Ranch in California.
The singer is accused of sexually abusing a 14-year old boy and if convicted faces up to 24 years in jail.
The singer has called the allegations a "big lie" and will appear in court on 16 January.
Earlier on Thursday, Mr Jackson won a second court order barring video tapes of him talking with lawyers as he flew to California last month to be arrested.
Some reports said the singer was going to travel to the UK from 20 December-6 January, although this was denied by his British spokeswoman.
The singer was arrested, cited and released after surrendering to police on 20 November.
He plans to return to his Neverland ranch in California on Saturday for the first time since police raided it during their investigation, his spokeswoman said.
Mr Jackson is heading back "to spend time with his family", she said.
A special District Attorney's (DA) information website has been set up to deal with media interest, and a public relations firm has also been hired to help deal with the number of inquiries.
Ethics
A Jackson family lawyer attacked the hiring of the firm, saying "a district attorney is supposed to try the case in court, not in the press".
"It is an affront to common sense, if not professional ethics, for a DA to have a celebrity crisis management team, which is what this new PR firm styles itself as being," lawyer Brian Oxman said.
Mr Jackson's parents, Joe and Katherine, told a documentary shown on ABC in the US and ITV1 in the UK that their son was innocent and that prosecutors were trying to "humiliate" him.
