Michael Jackson molested boy at homes of Elton John, Elizabeth Taylor, lawsuit alleges * Four siblings are suing Michael Jackson’s estate for alleged abuse spanning over a decade of their childhood. * The Cascios were known as the pop star’s secret “second family,” traveling with him on tour and spending holidays together. * Jackson is accused of plying the siblings with wine (“Jesus Juice”) and hard liquor (“Disney Juice”), and making them perform “extreme sex acts.” LA Times - Four siblings who were part of Michael Jackson’s secret “second family” have filed a lawsuit revealing the depths of the alleged sexual abuse they suffered as children, including claims that the singer molested one of the boys at the homes of Elton John and Elizabeth Taylor. The lawsuit, filed against Jackson’s estate in California’s Central District Court on Friday, accuses the late singer of grooming, drugging, raping and sexually assaulting four of the Cascio children — Edward, Dominic, Marie-Nicole and Aldo — over the course of more than a decade, beginning when some of them were as young as 7. A fifth sibling, Frank Cascio, is not a plaintiff in the lawsuit. The pop icon used code phrases such as “Can I have a meeting,” “Yogi Tea,” “Neverland,” and “Go to Disneyland” to encourage the children to engage in “extreme sex acts” with him, the suit alleges. He plied them with wine — “Jesus Juice” — and hard liquor — “Disney Juice “ — and used drugs to make them more compliant, according to the lawsuit. The “Thriller” singer’s connection to the Cascio family began in the 1980s when he met their father, Dominic Cascio Sr., at a luxury hotel in New York where the father worked. The lawsuit accuses Jackson of “insinuating himself” into the Cascio family by using “obsessive attention, lavish gifts, access to his celebrity lifestyle, and declarations that he loved and needed each of them.” He invited them to travel around the world with him and celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas and his own birthday with them. He often spent long periods of time at their New Jersey home, where he also brought his own children, according to the complaint. The chart-topping artist is accused of raping and molesting Edward “Eddie” Cascio at Elizabeth Taylor’s house in Switzerland as well as at Elton John’s home in the United Kingdom. Representatives for Jackson’s estate, Taylor’s estate and John did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The complaint alleges that the late singer abused the four siblings at international and national tour stops as well as at his Santa Barbara County estate, Neverland Ranch. That property became a central focus of the 2019 documentary “Leaving Neverland,” in which two of Jackson’s accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, detail the abuse they suffered as children. The complaint states that Jackson’s staff would help conceal and normalize his abuse of the Cascios; employees would deliberately book the parents hotel rooms away from their children, the suit says, so they could not tell how much time Jackson was spending with them. The entertainer showed the siblings pornography and photos of naked children to desensitize them, the complaint alleges. He told them that his life, their lives and that of their family members would be destroyed if people knew what was going on. “He told them to stay away from therapists and to avoid women, who he told them were ‘evil,’ ‘sneaky,’ ‘liars,’ and could ‘smell’ if something sexual had happened,” the complaint states. For decades after the initial 1993 sexual assault claim against Jackson surfaced, the Cascio family did not speak up against the singer. The performer convinced the parents to withdraw Aldo Cascio and Marie-Nicole Cascio from school on two occasions to “prevent disclosure of the abuse and gain more access to them,” the complaint alleges. The second time was shortly after authorities raided Neverland Ranch in 2003. The Cascios’ longtime relationship with the superstar became known to the public when they appeared on Oprah in 2010. During the appearance, they were billed as Jackson’s secret “second family” and said that they were reluctant to come forward but wanted to “show the world who Michael really was.” At the time, the family said that the siblings were never abused and that they didn’t believe the accusations against Jackson. As the four siblings aged and exposés such as “Leaving Neverland” came out, their statements about their childhood relationship with the pop star shifted. In 2019, several members of the Cascio family entered a confidential settlement agreement with Jackson’s estate agreeing to remain silent about their relationship to the singer. That agreement provided for Jackson’s estate to pay each sibling five annual payments of about $690,000 as compensation “for the many years that Jackson abused each of them and that the Jackson Organization enabled and covered up the abuse,” according to the complaint. The Cascios say that this amount is “wholly inadequate,” noting that the singer reportedly paid $25 million in 1994 to settle the abuse allegations made against him in 1993. Now, the four siblings are challenging the agreement as part of their recently filed lawsuit, alleging that they were coerced into signing it without understanding their rights. “Buried within the Document’s legalese was a purported release of the Estate from liability for Jackson’s crimes, and language that prohibited Plaintiffs from reporting Jackson’s crimes to law enforcement or anyone saying anything negative about Jackson, or holding the Estate accountable in court for its and Jackson’s wrongdoing,” the complaint alleges. Marty Singer, an attorney for Jackson’s estate, decried the lawsuit as “a desperate money grab” in a statement to People. A representative for Singer did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment. “The family staunchly defended Michael Jackson for more than 25 years, attesting to his innocence of inappropriate conduct,” Singer told People. “This new court filing is a transparent forum-shopping tactic in their scheme to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars from Michael’s estate and companies.” The four Cascio siblings are asking a jury to award them financial damages — including some potentially tripled damages because they were abused as children — over their allegations of sexual abuse and cover-up. They are also asking the court to throw out the 2019 agreement they say was used to silence them and are also seeking a ruling that the estate cannot force their claims into private arbitration. latimes.com/california/sto…

@bbraithwaite i’m sorry. ik that’s too much reading for you.

@someoneelse982 Too much yapping

Anyone who believes Michael Jackson was innocent needs their head examined.

@bbraithwaite you guilters are the few and the proud who believe in a horrifying fictitious narrative despite all evidence to the contrary. that is the definition of a cult 😂😂😂

@someoneelse982 you stans are a cult

@Mbetegen ain’t no one supporting you my guy

Not supporting pedophilia is a character flaw?

@exojeanies and you are cult-less, talentless, loud, and wrong. hang it up.

The ONLY difference between Epstein and Michael Jackson is that Michael has a cult fandom ready to spread misinformation to protect their pedo fav. They would definitely do the same for Epstein if he could sing and dance like Micheal!

oh they think this will work 😮😂

@CarrickBall_ it’s not up for debate. the man is innocent. allegations don’t stick when the truth is with the other side.

I honestly can’t decide where I stand with Michael Jackson. Part of me thinks he could have just been a guy trying to help children have a good childhood etc. But part of me thinks maybe there is that side to him that really did do those things Suing someone dead in 2009 is low

In 2019, Michael Jackson’s estate filed a $100 million lawsuit against HBO for the documentary “Leaving Neverland”. In 2024, Jackson’s estate won the lawsuit and reached a settlement with HBO. Of course this wasn’t reported by the media because so many like Oprah were deeply invested in the film. It has since been pulled off major platforms and no major network was interested in obtaining or airing the sequel “Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson”. Michael Jackson was very smart to include a non-disparage clause in the contract he signed with HBO back in 1992. He was basically telling HBO: "I'm not going to give you the highest ratings in history and then have you turn around and disparage me somewhere down the line". The contract meant that they could NEVER broadcast anything defamatory or slanderous about him. If HBO wanted to do a film about sexual abuse then they probably should have focused on real predators like Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, rather than a deceased man who was acquitted and who’s accusers are questionable. They probably would have saved themselves the embarrassment and having to shell out millions of dollars.

YES Michael Jackson was innocent YES Neverland was a safe place for children NO MJ was not involved in Epstein’s horrific crimes either as an accomplice or a savior there are so many REAL stories of MJ saving children. we don’t need to make stuff up. that’s what guilters do.

@dontstopMJ ikr. people need to stop w this bs

@someoneelse982 There is no such claim in the Epstein files

how did we go from fake stories about him molesting kids to fake stories about him protecting them? don’t get me wrong, he WAS protecting them but he wasn’t spying on epstein he had no idea what that mf was up to 😭

no no. that’s opera. successful for centuries. not much talking involved.

@pathfinderonx look i don’t have the time or crayons to explain it to you cuz i know that while the evidence is publicly available for anyone who reads human stains like you get off on parroting the lies and getting a rise out of those who do the research so stay pressed bby mwah 😘

@someoneelse982 Utter nonsense. He slept with young children and paid one of them off to the tune of $20M. If he wanted to protect them, why didn't he give them their own bedrooms? Do you invite young children round your home to sleep with you?

we’re only 33 years late

@someoneelse982 Embarrassing
