J. Chandler’s Court Document Against Jackson Leaked

In light of the Michael Jackson documentary aired on ABC Thursday, The Smoking Gun has the court document that first raised allegations that the singer was involved in inappropriate behavior with a young boy. The September 1993 declaration was sworn by a 13-year-old California boy who sued Jackson for, among other things, sexual battery, willful misconduct, and emotional distress. The child’s declaration includes a graphic account of alleged sexual encounters with Jackson at the performer’s Neverland Ranch and various hotels. Four months after the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit was filed, the two sides announced that the matter had been settled, though terms were not disclosed.
