Blogcritics The critical lens on today's culture & entertainment
Tuesday, a former maid, the mother of one of his accusers, testified she saw the cleanly Jacko shower with an 8 year old boy, Wade Robson, who is now a choreographer.
Yesterday court was recessed while Jackson attended the funeral of Johnnie Cochran Jr.
But today the bunker buster bomb hit: Neverland nightshift security guard from ’91 and ’94, Ralph Chacon, told the jury he heard Jackson shower with, then saw him caress, kiss passionately, then perform oral sex on a young boy in late-’92 or early-’93.
“I was thinking: ‘What’s going on in there? Grown man in the shower with a boy… it wasn’t right. I saw Mr Jackson caressing the boy’s hair, he was kissing him,” said Chacon.
“He put the little boy’s penis in his mouth.”
“Did you actually see that?” prosecutor Tom Sneddon asked.
“Yes.” And he added that Jackson’s hands were “all over” the 9 or 10 year-old boy’s body, the boy who won the $20+ million settlement from Jackson in ’94.
Chacon is one of five former employees to unsuccessfully sue the King of Pop for wrongful termination, who were then successfully countersued by Jackson for court costs.
In cross-examination, lead defense attorney Thomas Mesereau asked, “This is a good way to get even with him, isn’t it, sir?”
Sneddon objected; the judge sustained.
