Jermaine Jackson has said the suicide of Evan Chandler proves Michael Jackson did not molest his son. In 1993, Michael was accused of molesting 13-year-old Jordy Chandler and while the singer always denied the allegations, he settled the case with the family for £13m before going to trial. Earlier this month, US police announced that Jordy’s father Evan had been found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
"There's the ultimate level which is God and you embrace that and that's what keeps the family and the household together," Jermaine said at the launch of the Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait charity in Los Angeles. "Through all the things that we've been through as a family - in all, the false allegations against my brother - from the '93 case, them accusing him of just the most horrible things. This kid's father has committed suicide because he just couldn't take it and now the kid has come forth and said Michael never touched him."
