A predatory paedophile who kidnapped, tied up, sexually assaulted and threatened to kill a ten-year-old boy has been jailed indefinitely.
Michael Jackson, 50, who changed his name by deed poll from Albert English to that of the pop singer, also admitted abducting an 11-year-old girl.
The boy had been on his way back from shops in the Oldbury area of the West Midlands in November last year when he disappeared.
The youngster was held captive at Jackson's ground floor flat for around three hours.
The boy was later spotted at the window of Jackson's flat by a passer-by In that time the boy was tied up with tape and rope, gagged, thrust into a cupboard with a pillow case over his head and sexually assaulted.
Holding a knife Jackson told the boy: "It's time to die if you make a noise."
He also told the 10-year-old that his father would be murdered and he would never see him mum again.
After bundling the boy into an airing cupboard Jackson went out to play computer games with friends to "build up an alibi".
The boy managed to free himself from some of the bindings and got out of the cupboard. He later told police that it was 'scary, scary scary'.
The boy found a Stanley knife, pliers and a hammer in the flat and thought they were the tools he was going to be killed with. He armed himself with the hammer should Jackson come back.
A woman spotted the boy at the window of the flat and raised the alarm. Police were called and the youngster jumped from the window into the arms of a police officer. Jackson was arrested a short time later.
Jackson admitted a total of five charges relating to the boy's abduction and that of an 11-year-old girl a few weeks earlier. She was also taped and tied up but was released physically unharmed.
Passing sentence, Judge Walsh stressed that it was likely to be "very many years, if ever" before Jackson was judged to be safe to be freed from prison.
"I am satisfied that had (the 10-year-old boy) not escaped, he would have been subjected to further serious sexual abuse or worse.
"He was, fortuitously, able to escape from the cupboard. When he entered the bedroom, he saw a knife, pliers and a hammer - articles he believed would be used to kill him.
"It is simply impossible to imagine the sheer terror experienced by that young child as a result of your actions."
In the days after the boy's abduction, hundreds of people held demonstrations in the local area calling for action to protect children from paedophiles.
