Michael Jackson's estate sued over alleged sexual abuse of minors
Michael Jackson's estate is facing a major lawsuit from the Cascio siblings—Edward, Dominic Cascio, Aldo, and Marie Porte—who say they were victims of sex trafficking, rape, and sexual assault by Jackson when they were kids.
Siblings claim they were assaulted in multiple countries
The Cascio siblings claim Jackson groomed them with gifts and trips to places like Switzerland, Florida, South Africa, the UK, and even celebrity homes.
They say he drugged and assaulted them when they were just seven or eight years old and showed them explicit images.
They say they received annual payments from the estate (the filing says each sibling was paid $690,000 annually for five years), and are now fighting to void that deal.
The estate denies all claims—calling it a "money grab"—while the siblings' lawyers argue they were pressured into silence.
