Court Session 4: Statements by the Complainant’s Sister

The 18-year-old sister of the complainant testified in court today. She said that Michael Jackson had pressured her family to help her in producing “Living with Michael Jackson.” Continuing her claims, the complainant’s sister said today that Michael did good things for the family.

But when the documentary “Living with Michael Jackson” was supposed to be shown on television, he sent them—along with a private jet “Chris Tucker”—to a luxury hotel in Miami so they wouldn’t be able to watch the documentary. The complainant’s sister claimed that Jackson’s staff had threatened them not to leave their rooms. She said that after some time in March, they would be taken back to Neverland, and that the family would leave that place a few days later and would never return.

She said that after that, Jackson’s staff tried to keep their lives under control. The complainant’s sister also testified that she once saw Michael Jackson while he was giving alcohol to her brother.

The prosecutor accuses Michael of keeping the complainant’s family in Neverland by force, so that he could compel them to speak in the documentary “Living with Michael Jackson” according to his wishes. The prosecutor claims that Michael Jackson sexually abused the complainant twice, a few weeks after the television documentary aired.

The complainant’s sister also said she saw Michael Jackson whispering in her brother’s ear. She also claims she witnessed Michael giving the boy a wristwatch and then they drank diet soda together. The prosecutor claims that instead of soda, Jackson gave the complainant alcohol.

She also said that while they were in the Miami hotel, Jackson took her brother (the complainant) into a room several times and left her and their mother alone. When asked what the boy’s behavior was like that day, she answered, “He was very active, very talkative. He was running around and playing.”

The complainant’s sister also claimed that the entire family had been mistreated by their father. When asked how many times she had witnessed her mother being beaten by her father, she answered, “More than can be counted.” In response to the prosecutor’s question about how many times she and her brothers had been beaten by their father, she said, “Many times.”

During the time she was testifying, the complainant’s sister avoided making eye contact with Michael.

When asked about how it feels to see the witnesses again when Michael left the courtroom, he answered, “Interesting,” and then added, “It gets on your nerves.”
