Beat it to N.O., judge tells Jackson
I hadn't heard a thing about this on TV when about half an hour ago I heard the morning guy talking about it on WTIX (New Orleans), I looked it up in Google news and sure enough there is a guy who says he suddenly remembered MJ kidnapping and sexually assaulting him. Jackson has been ordered to appear in a New Orleans federal court July 20 before U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon.
Quote:
Jackson's accuser in the federal case, Joseph Thomas Bartucci Jr., claims he was 18 and in New Orleans with two friends for the 1984 world's fair when a Jackson employee lured him into the singer's white limousine. He says he endured harrowing treatment during a drive to California and was returned to New Orleans nine days later.
Bartucci claims the experience was so traumatic that he repressed memory of it until he saw a 2003 Court TV report about a California investigation of Jackson for alleged child molestation.
