vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019…
5 cases reviewed

"So many details of each case were the same: the targeting of boys from troubled families, the skillful grooming, the gifts, the seduction, the Jacuzzis, the way sex was performed, the fear & threats of what would befall them if they ever told anyone..."
"Robson and Safechuck are not being paid by HBO. They had to come to grips not only with what happened to them but also with the complicity of those closest to them"
Jason Francia, whose mother worked as a housekeeper for Jackson, testified under oath that he was molested by Jackson

Michael Jackson paid Francia $2.4 million in a settlement
Jordan Chandler:

Michael Jackson paid $25 million in a settlement

$18 million going to Jordie, $2.5 million to each of the parents, and the rest to lawyers.
Michael Jackson suffered from the skin discoloration disease vitiligo

Jordie Chandler drew a picture of the markings on the underside of Jackson’s penis

A few months later, investigators photographed Jackson’s genitalia

The photographs matched Chandler’s drawings
