Four members of the Cascio family accuse Michael Jackson of abuse

Four members of the Cascio family—Eddie, Aldo, Dominic, and Marie-Nicole—have publicly accused the late Michael Jackson of systemic sexual abuse and manipulation. The allegations were detailed in an interview on the program '60 Minutes Australia.' The family's relationship with the singer began in the 1980s after their father met Jackson at the Helmsley Palace Hotel in New York. The siblings claim the abuse lasted for approximately 25 years and occurred at various locations, including Jackson's Neverland Ranch and during international tours. According to their testimony, the singer gained the family's trust through luxury travel, gifts, and access to his celebrity circle. Eddie Cascio stated he first met Jackson at the age of two, noting that the star frequently visited their home unannounced. While the Cascios maintain these events occurred over two decades, Jackson's estate has consistently denied previous allegations of misconduct throughout his career.
