Jackson abused me at 13, claims woman
A TEENAGE girl was among Michael Jackson’s child sex abuse victims, an American lawyer claimed yesterday. She was molested by the late King of Pop between the ages of 13 and 14 and later paid a vast sum in “hush money”, according to attorney Vince Finaldi.
He said: “I have copies of cheques... that he personally signed. There is zero doubt in my mind she is telling the truth.”
Now in her 50s, the unnamed woman came forward in the wake of HBO’s Leaving Neverland which features James Safechuck and Wade Robson.
Safechuck, who danced with the star in a Pepsi advert aged eight, and Australian dancer Wade allege that Jackson sexually abused them at his 3,000-acre ranch as teenagers.
Now in their 30s, both men are represented by Mr Finaldi who plans a legal appeal to sue Jackson’s estate.
Mr Finaldi said “several” other “victims” have contacted him since the documentary premiered last month. He said: “I believe there are more victims out there – dozens upon dozens upon dozens more victims.”
Jackson’s estate has slammed the show as a “character assassination”. A spokesman declined to comment on the appeal and claims of new victims.
