Jackson abused teen girl TOMBOY’S SHOCK NEW CLAIM
A GIRL of 13 was among Michael Jackson’s child sex abuse victims, it was claimed last night.
The Thriller star then paid her a huge sum in “hush money”, according to US lawyer Vince Finaldi.
“His preference appears to have been young males and she describes herself as a tomboy at the time of the attacks on her in the early 1980s,” he said.
“I have copies of cheques to her from Jackson’s music production company that he personally signed.
“There is zero doubt in my mind that she is telling the truth.
Mr Finaldi said the victim, now in her 50s, was one of several to contact him following uproar over the documentary Leaving Neverland.

Robson, who claim Jacko abused them as boys. In the HBO show – due to be shown on Channel 4 – Safechuck and Wade, now in their 30s, say Jackson abused them on giant beds, in his pool, spa bath and home cinema at his Neverland ranch.
Safechuck says the singer even gave him a gold and diamond ring and staged a mock wedding ceremony.
Under California law, they may be able to sue his estate, which earned more than £300million last year.
Mr Finaldi – who represents both men – added: “I believe there are dozens more victims. There is no doubt in my mind that Michael Jackson was a paedophile and a serial sexual predator.”
