Michael Jackson’s estate is now facing a new lawsuit from four of the late singer’s siblings over shocking allegations of child 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.
But they now claim the settlement was too small and was “an illegal agreement to silence victims of childhood sexual abuse.”
The lawsuit says Jackson abused the siblings for years, starting when some were just seven or eight.
It claims the late legend gave them drugs, alcohol and exposed them to pornography while abusing them in Switzerland and Britain, among other places.
The legal complaint also alleges child trafficking, emotional distress, negligence, breach of contract and fraud.
Jackson’s estate attorney Marty Singer denied all of these claims, saying the lawsuit is “a desperate money grab” and pointing out that the family previously defended Jackson in interviews and in Frank Cascio’s 2011 book.
Singer added that their new allegations go against what they said before.
