Michael Jackson Company Secures Legal Victory in Sex Trafficking Lawsuit
The Michael Jackson Company recently won a legal victory as a judge ruled that a civil case involving alleged sex trafficking claims must be resolved privately through arbitration. The lawsuit, filed by Frank Cascio and his siblings, accuses Jackson of child sex trafficking during the 1980s. The lawsuit names The Michael Jackson Company, John Branca, and John McClain as defendants, alleging sex trafficking of children, negligence, emotional distress, breach of contract, and fraud. The siblings claim Jackson used gifts and declarations of love to gain their trust before beginning the abuse.
The siblings had previously settled with the Jackson estate, agreeing to resolve disputes through private arbitration. The recent ruling allows the estate to handle the case privately, keeping sensitive details out of the public eye. This decision is a significant win for The Michael Jackson Company, enabling them to manage the legal battle behind closed doors and move towards resolving the ongoing disputes surrounding the late pop star's estate.
