Michael Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, has accused the singer of abducting their two children, according to TMZ.com.

The site reports that Rowe filed papers Monday in a secret hearing held near Palm Springs making the accusations. She has filed a custody suit against the singer, which is being handled through private arbitration, according to the site.

Jackson, now living in the Persian Gulf kingdom of Bahrain, was acquitted in June of molesting a boy at his Neverland ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif.
