The heirs of world pop king Michael Jackson (1958-2009) paid his alleged victims another $ 2.5 million. This is reported by the Financial Times portal.
Five members of the Casio family have accused the artist of sexual abuse that occurred when they were children.
In total, the prosecutors received payments of $ 16.5 million, demanding more money, as well as a public court hearing. As part of the settlement agreement, which was signed in 2020, the Jackson heirs completed the payments in 2025.
As you know, the head of the Casio family, Dominic, was friends with the artist, and his son Frank was his personal assistant for a long time. Moreover, Frank defended Jackson for a long time when he was accused of molesting minors. However, in 2019, after the documentary “Leaving Neverland” was released, Frank himself and several of his relatives accused the singer of harassment.
As the media reported on the 16th anniversary of Jackson’s death, details of the autopsy of the artist’s body appeared. It was clarified that the artist had already been in a state of incurable decline for several years before his death.
