Michael Jackson’s brother planned to help him flee if convicted

The ‘Thriller’ legend was accused of molesting teenager Gavin Arvizo in 2003. He was charged with seven counts of child sexual abuse and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent in order to commit alleged felonies against Arvizo.

He pleaded not guilty and so the case went to trial. It lasted five months and Michael was cleared of all charges at his 2005 trial.

In his book ‘You Are Not Alone: Michael Through A Brother’s Eyes’,Jermaine says,“I grab the hotel phone and make a call. The person on the other end of the line provides the reassurance that I needed to hear one more time. Yes,the private jet is still available. Yes,it can be at Van Nuys airport. Yes,everything has been arranged.

“All that is required is a day’s notice,and this Dc8 will have Michael heading east – to Bahrain – to start a new life away from the scam of American justice.

“After this charade,I’m happy to disown my citizenship and take Michael,and his family,to a place where they can’t touch him… We have the backer – a dear friend. We have the pilot. Everything is prepared. There is no way my brother – an innocent man – is going to jail for this. He wouldn’t survive,and I cannot sit back and even contemplate the possibility,let alone the reality.”

Michael passed away in 2009 at his home in Los Angeles.
