The Case in Brief

In 1993, Evan Chandler accused Michael Jackson of sexually abusing his 13-year-old son, Jordan. The two had met when Jackson rented a car from Jordan’s stepfather’s garage, and Jackson became a regular visitor to the family’s home. Evan Chandler grew suspicious, demanded a financial settlement, and was refused. Jordan then described alleged abuse to a psychiatrist and to police, which triggered an investigation. Jackson denied everything, and his lawyers argued the family’s real aim was extortion.

The Chandlers sued in September 1993, and the case settled in January 1994 for a reported $20-23 million. Jackson’s side said the payment was not an admission of guilt but a way to avoid a long trial while his health was failing. The criminal investigation closed in September 1994 for lack of evidence and cooperation from the Chandlers, and Jackson was never charged. In 2005 he was acquitted on all 10 counts in People v. Jackson.

The scandal cost him heavily. He cancelled the rest of his Dangerous World Tour, lost sponsors including Pepsi, and relied more on painkillers he had used since a 1984 accident. His then-attorney Bert Fields described lapses in concentration and slurred speech. The allegations remained disputed until his death in 2009. Supporters see the case as a warning about prejudice against famous defendants, while accusers’ advocates stress that settlements and acquittals don’t settle what happened.
