‘MJ’s sex abuse victim clears his name’

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.

Is it true this time? by Nightflower on 02 Dec 2009

There have been rumours on the Internet before about Jordan Chandler retracting his allegations. So I wonder if it is true this time. There could be done more than Jermaine telling newspapers about Jordans' confession! Isn't here a beautiful task handed to the Jackson family to work this out and clear Michaels' name?

Please tell the truth by Susanne on 30 Nov 2009

Please Jordan, tell the world the truth in your own words, that Michael was innocent. I just know Michael's family and fans would forgive you and be grateful that finally Michael's name, can be cleared of horrible nightmare.

Too late... by Tereza on 29 Nov 2009

I haven't heard Jordan Chandler say that yet...I want him to make it official. I haven't even heard anyone really confirm that he said it, but I have actually heard that he didn't say it at all. But anyway...it's too late and I don't know if I can ever forgive this...although it's mostly the father who was to be blamed. I don't wish anyone anything bad...but you see now that the bad things you do in life always come back. So live your life conscious,honest and with love. You'll be forever loved Michael.

Truth will set you Free by cheryl charles on 26 Nov 2009

Just a few Words to Jordon "We knew this, but we guess you could not hold this inside anymore, & wanted to be set FREE. The truth shall set you free - We Michael's fans and loved ones will have to look in our hearts to forgive you but we need time. Thank you for trying to right what you wronged even though because of you MANY people around the world will still consider our beloved Michael with that horrific title"
