Michael Jackson’s estate is now facing a new lawsuit from four of the late singer’s siblings over shocking allegations of child sex trafficking and abuse.
The lawsuit was filed by Frank, Dominic, Marie-Nicole and Aldo Cascio in federal court in Los Angeles on February 27.
The family says they were paid $690,000 a year for five years after watching the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland.
However, they now claim that the settlement was too small and was “an illegal agreement to silence victims of child sexual abuse.”
The lawsuit says Jackson abused his siblings for many years, beginning when some were only seven or eight years old.
It claims the late legend gave them drugs, alcohol and exposed them to pornography while abusing them in places including Switzerland and the UK.
The legal complaint also mentions child sex trafficking, emotional distress, negligence, breach of contract and fraud.
Jackson’s estate attorney, Marty Singer, denied all those claims, calling the lawsuit “a desperate money grab” and noting that the family previously defended Jackson in interviews and in Frank Cascio’s 2011 book.
Singer added that their new accusations go against what they said before.
