Documents May Challenge Credibility of Jackson Accuser's Mother

Oct. 11, 2004 — -- Michael Jackson's defense team has said the mother of his alleged child molestation victim has made false claims and told the judge that she once accused her ex-husband of crimes that parallel some of the charges "The King of Pop" faces. ABC News has exclusively obtained police reports in which the alleged victim's mother details those accusations against her husband.

Jackson, 46, is accused of molesting a now-14-year-old boy who spent time at his Neverland ranch and is believed to be a cancer survivor who appeared last year in the British documentary Living With Michael Jackson. He has pleaded not guilty to 10 charges that include felony conspiracy with 28 overt acts involving child abduction, false imprisonment, and extortion. The conspiracy charge against Jackson refers to his alleged attempts through associates to quiet the alleged victim and his family.

The father of Jackson's alleged victim pleaded no contest to spousal abuse in 2001 and child cruelty in 2002 and has been barred from seeing his children. He and the alleged victim's mother have continued to battle over the issue as he lost a bid earlier this year to regain child visitation rights. In a police report filed in 2001 during their bitter divorce, the alleged victim's mother accused her husband of child molestation, telling police she saw him touch their daughter inappropriately when she was 3 or 4 years old.

In the same report, the daughter also accused the father of false imprisonment for allegedly locking her "inside his vehicle against her will." One report alleged that the father told his daughter that if she yelled he would kill Jackson's alleged victim (her brother) and the whole family. In the Jackson case, the alleged victim's younger brother has said one of Jackson's associates allegedly threatened to kill him and his family if he told anyone about the singer serving him and his siblings alcohol.

The father of Jackson's alleged victim was never convicted of the allegations made in the police report. His lawyer said the mother has fabricated the accusations.
