Michael Jackson accused of child sex trafficking by 4 siblings in new lawsuit
Global News
Michael Jackson 'groomed and brainwashed the four siblings, without the knowledge of the others or their parents, throughout their childhood years,' according to the legal docs.
Four adult siblings who spent time with the late Michael Jackson are accusing him of being a “serial child predator” and suing his estate for child sex trafficking, claiming that he abused them when they were minors.
In a complaint filed on Feb. 27, obtained and viewed by Global News, Edward, Dominic, Marie-Nicole and Aldo Cascio alleged that Jackson, who died in 2009 at the age of 50, “drugged, raped, and sexually assaulted” them “beginning when some of them were as young as seven or eight.”
The siblings claim that the alleged abuse took place over the course of “more than a decade” and that it “went on for extended periods, including in locations around the world and when Jackson and his children were guests in Plaintiffs’ family home.”
Jackson “groomed and brainwashed the four siblings, without the knowledge of the others or their parents, throughout their childhood years,” according to the legal documents.
“Jackson used methods typical of child predators, but his wealth and fame, and the apparatus of professional advisors and employees who aided and abetted, and actively concealed, the abuse, gave him far more power over his many victims than other child predators,” the lawsuit says.
The suit says that Jackson “raped and molested” one of the siblings at Elizabeth Taylor’s house in Switzerland and at Elton John’s home in the United Kingdom, as well as at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in California.
After the alleged abuse began, the siblings say that Jackson “isolated them emotionally, and sometimes physically, from responsible adults and from each other.”
“He plied them with drugs and alcohol. He showed them pornography, including pictures of unclothed children, to normalize the abuse and desensitize them. He made them fear and distrust others by convincing them that not only his life, but also their lives and the lives of their family members, would be destroyed if anyone found out what he was doing to them,” the suit alleges.
