Michael Jackson's estate sued over child sex trafficking claims
The Cascio siblings allege long-term abuse and seek to void a previous settlement, claiming Michael Jackson used drugs, grooming, and brainwashing, according to a February 27 federal complaint.
- On Friday , siblings Frank, Dominic, Marie‑Nicole and Aldo Cascio filed a federal complaint in Los Angeles accusing Michael Jackson's estate and The Michael Jackson Company of child sex trafficking.
- Their documents describe how Michael Jackson groomed and isolated the Cascios beginning when some were as young as seven or eight, using gifts and abuse methods.
- Reportedly, the complaint details assaults at Neverland Ranch and Elizabeth Taylor's home in Switzerland, with the Cascios previously defending Jackson during his 2005 trial.

- Their prior legal strategy included filings after Leaving Neverland , with demands of $40 million and $213 million, and past allegations remain part of the record.
