Dominic Cascio, along with his two brothers and sister, has filed a lawsuit alleging Michael Jackson sexually abused them as children. The Cascios — Eddie, Aldo, Dominic, and Marie-Nicole — became part of Michael Jackson’s inner circle in the 1980s after their father befriended him.

Soon they were spending holidays at Neverland Ranch and traveling around the world with Jackson, who they allege sexually abused them for decades.

Dominic Cascio gave an interview to 60 Minutes Australia that aired on Sunday night. Dominic Cascio was approximately 12 years old when the alleged urine-drinking incident occurred. Dominic Cascio said Michael Jackson told him the urine-drinking was a special bond and that he was only doing it with him because he loved him so much.

I’m maybe 12 years old at the time. Like, I’m a child who’s seeing this man do this,” Dominic Cascio said in the interview. “And I said, ‘Oh, I guess he really does love me. ” Dominic Cascio said Michael Jackson would lay him on top of him with his genitals against Jackson’s, and Jackson would shake and push up against him.

The siblings also accuse Michael Jackson of drugging them with prescription pills and alcohol at a young age. ” Eddie Cascio said his parents felt special because a big celebrity wanted to be friends with them. Eddie Cascio said Michael Jackson made the family feel like they were his family, his kids, and his everything.

Marty Singer is a lawyer acting for Michael Jackson’s estate. Marty Singer stated that the Cascios’ allegations were a “money grab” and that the shakedown attempts come more than 15 years after Jackson’s death. ” The Cascio siblings allege Michael Jackson sexually abused them for decades.

The family’s connection to Jackson began when their father befriended the singer, leading to the children’s frequent presence at Neverland Ranch and on international trips. Dominic Cascio’s detailed account in the Australian broadcast marks the public airing of accusations now formalized in the lawsuit against the estate.
