Michael Jackson Estate Faces Federal Lawsuit Alleging Sex Trafficking and Abuse

Four former family friends of Michael Jackson have filed a federal lawsuit against his estate, alleging sex trafficking and prolonged sexual abuse beginning in childhood. The plaintiffs claim Jackson used gifts, travel, and emotional manipulation to gain trust before isolating and abusing them over more than a decade. The suit also names Jackson's business entities and estate co-executors, accusing them of facilitating abuse and concealing misconduct. Jackson's attorney denies the allegations, calling the lawsuit an extortion attempt.
