Jacko nephews sue

-

Three of Michael Jackson’s nephews are suing Radar Online, alleging the tabloid humiliated and defamed them by suggesting their famous uncle sexually abused and later bribed them in an effort to quash a criminal investigat­ion. In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Taj, TJ and Taryll Jackson – sons of Jackson’s brother Tito – contend that Radar Online maligned them by claiming the late ‘‘King of Pop’’ used lewd photos of his nephews ‘‘to excite young boys’’. The nephews sought a correction from Radar, but this was declined, according to the suit, which seeks $100 million in damages.
