Washington: The alleged abuse victim at the centre of Michael Jackson 1993 molestation scandal has cleared the late star’s name by saying the King of Pop ‘never touched’ him, the singer’s brother Jermaine has revealed.
Jordan Chandler was 13 when his father Evan claimed that Jackson had molested his son.
Jackson was given a clean chit in the court and settled the dispute with the Chandler family and its legal team with a payoff worth 22 million dollars.
Jordan, now 29, was said to have spoken about the case since Jackson's death, confessing the superstar never molested him, it was claimed.
Jermaine further believed that Jordan's dad Evan committed suicide earlier this month over his guilt of falsely accusing the Thriller hitmaker.
"From the ''93 case, they were accusing him (Jackson) of just the most horrible things,” Contactmusic quoted Jermaine as saying.
“This kid's father has committed suicide because he just couldn't take it and now the kid has come forward and said Michael never touched him," he added.
The body of 56-year-old Evan Chandler was found with a single gunshot to his head with the gun still in his hand. Officials ruled his death a suicide.
