LOS ANGLES, CALIFORNIA: Late American popstar Michael Jackson is accused of allegedly orchestrating a child sex trafficking racket, claims the FBI and they have reportedly investigated the allegations regarding the singer which says that he smuggled a child abuse victim across the US.
According to files uncovered for investigative journalist Dylan Howard's book Bad, the 'King of Pop' told anyone who asked him about the identity of the 12-year-old boy that he was a cousin, OK Magazine reports.
When did the FBI's suspicions begin?
The authorities first suspected the 'Smooth Criminal' singer's twisted interest in young boys in 1993 when LAPD made a deep dive into the allegations which stated that Jackson had abused 13-year-old Jordan Chandler. The police officers then asked the FBI to join forces and the Feds started investigating other allegations.
One of the probes led them to the UK and averments that in 1979 the singer had instigated phone sex with a 13-year-old British boy.
A DJ makes shocking allegations about Jackson
Terry George, a DJ, claimed that he came across the iconic singer in Leeds when he was an admirer and the two kept in touch. George who was 28 and a DJ at that time claimed that Jackson dialed him, described graphic sexual practices, and encouraged him to do the unlawful act. Details regarding the high-level investigations were first disclosed by author Howard in the 2020 book.
The book titled, Bad: An Unprecedented Investigation into the Michael Jackson Cover-Up, provides a dramatic insight into the legendary singer's life which is based upon interviews, input from family members, pages from Jackson’s own diary, first-person accounts, thousands of pages of court documents and confidential notes from Jackson’s private investigator’s files and case notes.
The publisher, Skyhorse, said that the author's assiduous probe provides one of the most authoritative accounts ever published on Jackson's intricate life.
While investigating, Howard unearthed federal files that show that LAPD suspected Jackson had violated the Slave Traffic Act, which was designed to stop the transportation of adults or kids for ‘prostitution, debauchery, or any other immoral purpose’. As he dived deeper, the author found that the pile of accusations stacked against the late singer was not completely unwarranted.
As per the more confidential FBI files, a Canadian couple told authorities they suspected Jackson had smuggled a child abuse victim across America by train just a year prior to the Chandler allegations. The couple both worked in child services. They informed the authorities that he was ‘very possessive of the boy at night’ and that they heard ‘questionable noises’ during the journey.
When they asked Jackson, he told them that the boy was his cousin. "Incredibly, the situation was never fully investigated," writes Howard.
Jackson sexually abused two boys for many years
Jackson came to the limelight again on August 18 this year, after an appeals court in California revived lawsuits from two men, who claimed that they were subjected to sexual molestations by the singer for several years when they were boys.
A three-judge panel from California's 2nd District Court of Appeal found the lawsuits of Wade Robson and James Safechuck should not have been dismissed by a lower court. It also found that the men could validly claim that two Jackson-owned corporations which were named as defendants in the cases had a responsibility to protect them.
The 13-time Grammy Award winner's mode of operations of identifying young child companions as relatives rings true, Howard said. The singer also allegedly spent lots of time with a ‘new special friend’ during his honeymoon with Debbie Rowe, several years later in 1996. The eight-year-old was called Anthony and Jackson claimed he was a nephew, if anyone asked.
The author, chillingly, also discovered rumors of historic patterns of questionable behavior going back decades which was further backed by Vince Finaldi, attorney for Finding Neverland star Robson. The lawyer accused the singer of operating ‘the most sophisticated child sexual abuse procurement and facilitation operation the world has ever known.”
Additionally, Howard claimed that there may be even darker secrets to be exposed.
Jackson’s long-time associate recently made a confession
Jackson’s long-time associate, jailbird private eye Anthony Pellicano, who worked for Jackson until the mid-2000s, recently made a confession. “I quit because I found out some truths. He (Jackson) did something far worse to young boys than molest them, the private eye revealed in an interview.
