Siblings' Child Sex Trafficking Lawsuit Against Michael Jackson Dismissed A Los Angeles federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed by the Cascio siblings against the Michael Jackson estate will be resolved through private arbitration, effectively silencing them from speaking publicly about their alleged childhood sexual abuse at the hands of the pop star.
The decision by Judge Hernán D. Vera is disheartening and raises questions about the efficacy of our justice system in handling high profile cases like this one.
The Cascio siblings' lawsuit alleged that Jackson gave them alcohol and hard drugs, isolated them from each other, and threatened to ruin their family if they spoke out against him.
