The Associated Press reports details about the family of Michael Jackson’s accuser have begun to emerge, including two previous cases that involved abuse allegations: a lawsuit in which the family said they were battered by mall security guards, and a divorce fight in which the father pleaded no contest to spousal abuse and child cruelty. In November 2001, J.C. Penney Co. paid the boy’s family $137,500 to settle a lawsuit alleging security guards beat the boy, his mother and his brother in a parking lot in 1998 after the boy left the store with clothes that hadn’t been paid for, court records show.
The mother also contended that she was sexually assaulted by one of the guards during the confrontation. A month before the settlement, the boy’s mother had filed for divorce, beginning a bitter fight that would include criminal charges of abuse. The father’s attorney, Russell Halpern, said the mother had lied about the abuse and had a “Svengali-like” ability to make her children repeat her lies.
See what happens when your parents are psychos? I mean, just look at Stallion and Elgato! Pretty much everyone knows that MJ is innocent by now! if you still don’t believe that, you are just plain naive. this family is a greedy, money seeking group of bitches and should be locked up.
Why didn’t Michael have better sales in his first week with his new greatest hits CD? I’m surprised. ‘Cause he still has lots of fans.
