In 1993, Michael Jackson was accused of molesting a boy who had been a
frequent houseguest and companion on trips in the USA and abroad. The singer
finally paid an undisclosed sum of money to the child and his family in return
for dropping a civil lawsuit against him. Some sources suggest that Jackson
paid out a minimum of $13 Million to settle the case; others estimate the
figure as much higher. The exact nature of the accusations have long been
a subject for speculation and debate - though, in fact, they are a matter
of public record (and we believe that they have previously been disclosed
on other websites). Here are the complaint papers filed by the boy's attorneys
- we leave our visitors to form their own opinions.
