Nearly two decades after Michael Jackson\u2019s death, his name is once again making headlines for reasons that have little to do with music. Four siblings \u2014 Edward, Dominic, Marie Porte and Aldo Cascio \u2014 have filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles against the singer\u2019s estate. In the court document, they claim that Jackson drugged, raped and sexually abused them for more than ten years<\/strong>. According to their account, the alleged abuse began when they were just six and eight years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the filing submitted to the federal court in Los Angeles, the claimants describe Jackson as a \u201cserial child sexual predator\u201d<\/strong>. They allege that he maintained an abusive relationship with them for years. The Cascio siblings\u2019 account echoes those of other alleged victims. According to the lawsuit, the artist used his enormous influence to gain their trust and isolate them from their family environment. They also claim he provided them with alcohol and other substances before the alleged abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The claimants also point to several locations where the alleged assaults are said to have taken place. Among them is the famous Neverland<\/strong><\/em> property. They also mention private residences linked to people in the singer\u2019s circle. The lawsuit cites the home of Elizabeth Taylor<\/strong> in Switzerland and Elton John\u2019s house<\/strong> in the United Kingdom. The siblings are seeking $200 million<\/strong> in damages for the physical and psychological harm they say they suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case comes at a delicate moment for the legacy of the so-called \u201cKing of Pop\u201d. The highly anticipated biopic Michael<\/strong><\/em>, centred on the singer\u2019s life, is scheduled for release in April. The film is expected to revisit his career and key moments in his trajectory, including the creation of Thriller<\/em>. However, this new lawsuit once again brings attention to the allegations that have surrounded Jackson for decades<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
