"According to the complaint, Jackson began sexually abusing each sibling when they were around seven or eight. He allegedly showed them pornography-including child pornography-and forced two boys to watch him assault Marie-Nicole, while telling her it was "a normal thing between a man and a woman.""
"The lawsuit goes on to allege that Jackson plied the children with alcohol and hard drugs, as well as prescription drugs such as Xanax and Viagra. He reportedly used child-like language to encourage the consumption of these substances, calling wine "Jesus Juice" and hard liquor "Disney Juice.""
"Jackson is said to have stressed that the lives of the plaintiffs as well as their family would be ruined if anyone were to find out about their sexual acts. He allegedly instructed the children on what to say if an adult were to ask them if they had been molested."
Four siblings—Frank, Dominic, Marie-Nicole, and Aldo Cascio—filed a lawsuit against the Michael Jackson estate alleging systematic sexual trafficking and abuse beginning when they were approximately seven or eight years old. The complaint details allegations that Jackson sexually abused each sibling, exposed them to pornography including child pornography, and forced some to witness assaults on others. Jackson allegedly supplied the children with alcohol, hard drugs, and prescription medications using euphemistic language like "Jesus Juice" for wine. The lawsuit claims Jackson's employees facilitated access to these substances. Jackson allegedly threatened the children and their families with ruin if they disclosed the abuse, instructed them on false statements to give adults, and employed manipulation tactics including isolation and international travel to maintain control.
