"He's a 46-year-old guy with a bad back who likes to watch porn and drink wine. Who would've thought?" -- writer Randy Taraborrelli.
Last week, Michael Jackson received a blow to his defense when the judge in his child molestation case ruled that prosecutors could bring in to testify the son of the singer's housekeeper and another boy who received civil settlements from Jackson. Prosecutors have said the housekeeper's son received $2.4 million in 1994.
The victim, now 24, testified that he was just 7 at the time the molestation started. Apparently, he made a vary believable witness, and you have to wonder . . . why would Jackson give someone $2.4 million dollars as a settlement if he was innocent?
One thing is for sure about the settlement in 1994: either Jackson molested the boy and got away with it, or the housekeeper's family extorted millions of dollars from Jackson. One or the other is true, and in either case, a crime was committed., The witness said that Jackson twice touched his groin over his clothes during "tickling" games at Neverland, and in a third incident reached under his clothes. He also said that Jackson gave him $100 after each of the first two incidents when he was just 7 years old.
The appearance of the young man was allowed under last week's ruling that prosecutors may present evidence suggesting Jackson molested or otherwise behaved inappropriately with FIVE other boys before the current allegations took place. The housekeeper's son may turn out to be the turning point in this trial . . . stay tuned.
