S*xual Harassment Allegations Against Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson’s biopic Michael is currently running in theatres. As per the reports, a s*xual assault complaint has been filed by four siblings, three boys and one girl. The complaint alleges that Michael Jackson “drugged, assaulted, and brainwashed” the siblings back when they were around 7-8 years old. The complainant recently gave an interview to the New York Times, as per which, the complaint names the Jackson estate, which included the attorneys, John Branca and John McClain, and the private investigator, Herman Weisberg, as defendants.
The complaints make some shocking allegations against Michael Jackson. As per the complaint, the assault happened during one of Jackson’s tours, and the victims allegedly came in contact with him through his father, a worker who worked at the hotel where the singer frequently stayed. The plaintiffs alleged that Jackson had also visited their home with his children and that their parents had no clue about the assault during that time.
