The aim and mission of the document is to give a full representation of the 1993 and 2005 child sexual abuse allegations against Michael Jackson. I felt it was much needed because there is still a lot of misinformation circulating about these cases and people often make judgments about them based on out of context cherry-picked half truths, incomplete information or even complete lies. Accordingly, the document consists of three main sections. The 1993 Allegations section, The 2005 Allegations section and a Frequently Asked Questions section that deals with questions that are not specifically in the realm of either the 1993 or the 2005 allegations but generally are related to the molestation allegations against Michael Jackson. (A separate PDF document about the posthumous Wade Robson allegations can be downloaded here.) If you truly want to understand these allegations you will have to invest a bit of time in reading. There is no real understanding of these cases in five minutes from media soundbites, out-of-context bits of information, inflammatory tabloid articles or Internet gossip, no matter how tempting it may be to jump to conclusions based on such. This document was created with the purpose of commentary, news reporting, education and research. It is not sold commercially, I do not have any income from it, I do not make any profit of it. My first language is not English, so please be lenient about grammatical or stylistic errors. Hopefully that will not spoil the content.

April 14, 2019 3 The Michael Jackson Allegations The 1993 Allegations 4 The Michael Jackson Allegations Key players Michael Jackson – The accused. Jordan Chandler – The accuser. Evan Chandler – The accuser’s father. June Chandler – The accuser’s mother. David Schwartz – June Chandler’s second husband. The accuser’s step-father. Ray Chandler – Evan Chandler’s younger brother. He published a book about the allegations in 2004, entitled All That Glitters: The Crime and the Cover-Up. Since the Chandlers never appeared in Court to testify about their allegations I use this book in this paper to represent the Chandlers’ story. Barry K. Rothman – Evan Chandler’s first attorney during the case. Larry Feldman – The civil attorney the Chandlers hired after Rothman stepped back from the case. (In fact, before hiring Feldman they shortly hired Gloria Allred, but they fired her again only after a couple of days.) Thomas Sneddon – Santa Barbara District Attorney. Gil Garcetti – Los Angeles District Attorney. Bertram Fields – Michael Jacksons first attorney during the case. Anthony Pellicano – A private investigator working for Bertram Fields. In 2002 in a case completely unrelated to Jackson Pellicano was jailed for illegal wiretaping and the possession of illegal weapons. This does not affect our arguments here with regards to the child molestation allegations against Michael Jackson, because most of the things I say about Pellicano or the events he was involved in are either taken from the Chandlers’ own accounts or are supported by evidence. Howard Weitzman - Attorney for Michael Jackson. Johnnie Cochran - Attorney for Michael Jackson. Victor Gutierrez – Freelance journalist. Michael Freeman – Attorney for June Chandler. 5 The Michael Jackson Allegations The Timeline On August 17, 1993 the Los Angeles police department opened an investigation against Michael Jackson based on an allegation that he had sexually molested a 13-year-old boy called Jordan Chandler. In this section of the paper I will discuss the Chandler case in- depth. I will first present a timeline which hopefully will make it easier to follow the events as they unfolded and to put them into a context. While you go along with the timeline you will find links to longer articles. These articles make up the chapters of our paper. You may opt to read the timeline first then go to the articles, like when you read a book, or you can click
