Michael’s Accuser Was Accused

Recently, a 34-year-old man claimed that in 1984 Michael Jackson sexually abused him. Following the announcement of this news, his former friend, in an interview with Celebrity Justice, accused the accuser of being a fraud.

The article below was published on November 11 on the “Celebrity Justice” website:

Hope Horne, the former girlfriend of Michael Jackson’s accuser, calls her former friend a fraud.

In an exclusive interview with “Celebrity Justice,” Horne claimed that a long time ago, Joseph Thomas Bartocchi—her former friend and Jackson’s current accuser—had accused Michael of sexual abuse by filing a lawsuit. And she said she knew her friend intended to do this.

Horne said in this interview: “When I watched the Celebrity Justice program, I was shocked. I couldn’t believe he had done this. A few months before that, he told me that he intended to sue Mr. Jackson. I said this because I don’t want this fraud to ruin a man who is dealing with many problems even right now.

Celebrity Justice has news that the accuser filed another lawsuit in 2001, in which he accused a Louisiana pastor of sexual abuse. This criminal case was settled out of court.

Horne added: I’m angry that he’s doing this. I’m upset, but I’m happy that maybe I’ll be able to witness justice being served. He’s a fraud and a liar. He’s trying to make money by doing this. He thinks Michael Jackson will pay him money to make him be quiet.”

Any attempt to contact Mr. Bartocchi and his lawyer to get their comments on the matter was unsuccessful.
