Michael Jackson's New Accuser
We haven't heard much about the new accuser of Michael Jackson. Here's what Fox News reporter Trace Gallagher said last night on On the Record with Greta:
Now, we can tell you Roger Friedman from foxnews.com is now reporting that the alleged victim, the 12 or 13-year-old boy, was a cancer victim and that one of his last wishes was to go and meet Michael Jackson. Jackson brought him here in Neverland ranch. He felt bad for the boy, paid medical bills, bought the family a car, maybe a house.
In subsequent time, the boy got better, went back to school, and his classmates began teasing him about the relationship with Michael Jackson. His mother, says Friedman, felt bad about the taunting. She contacted a lawyer. The lawyer told her to take the boy to a psychiatrist. And the boy apparently told the psychiatrist about the abuse, and that doctor then went to authorities. Authorities began the investigation. Jackson got wind of it, and apparently, according to Friedman, tried to send this family, all of them, to South America.

Update: Mark Geragos has been representing Michael Jackson in this probe since February. The kid reportedly told the therapist he was high on sleeping pills and/or alcohol at the time Michael allegedly took advantage of him.
