Jackson was <a href="/wiki/1993_Michael_Jackson_sexual_abuse_allegations" title="1993 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations">first accused of child sexual abuse in 1993</a>; he denied the allegations and settled in a civil lawsuit. In 2003, the documentary <a href="/wiki/Living_with_Michael_Jackson" title="Living with Michael Jackson">Living with Michael Jackson</a> showed Jackson holding hands with Arvizo and defending his practice of giving his bed to children, triggering an investigation. Jackson was indicted on four counts of molesting a minor, four counts of intoxicating a minor to molest him, one count of attempted <a href="/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse" title="Child sexual abuse">child molestation</a>, one count of conspiring to hold Gavin and his family captive, and conspiring to commit <a href="/wiki/Extortion" title="Extortion">extortion</a> and <a href="/wiki/Child_abduction" title="Child abduction">child abduction</a>. The trial spanned approximately four months, beginning with jury selection that began on January 31, 2005. Gavin and his brother testified that Jackson had given them alcohol, showed them pornography, masturbated before them, and made sexual advances. The defense characterized the witnesses for the prosecution as disgruntled ex-employees or individuals seeking to exploit Jackson for money. Witnesses for the defense included testimony from celebrities including the former child actor <a href="/wiki/Macaulay_Culkin" title="Macaulay Culkin">Macaulay Culkin</a> and the comedian <a href="/wiki/Chris_Tucker" title="Chris Tucker">Chris Tucker</a>.

In July and August, he interviewed Gavin along with his father David, mother Janet, and younger brother Star. In November, Gavin told police that Jackson had molested him several times between February 7 and March 10, 2003, when, according to Janet, Jackson had held the family captive at Neverland.

Francia said that "every time I was being tickled there was some sort of exchange of money", done with the understanding that he would not tell his mother.<a href="#cite_note-:7-40">[40]</a> His mother said she had reached an out-of-court settlement with Jackson, reportedly for $2 million.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> She sold her stories to the tabloid <a href="/wiki/National_Enquirer" title="National Enquirer">National Enquirer</a> and the television show <a href="/wiki/Hard_Copy" class="mw-redirect" title="Hard Copy">Hard Copy</a>.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> On <a href="/wiki/Cross-examination" title="Cross-examination">cross-examination</a>, Francia acknowledged that in his first 1993 interview he told detectives Jackson had not molested him.

She told the court that she had seen Jackson touching Chandler's genitals. Culkin, however, had always denied being sexually abused by Jackson.<a href="#cite_note-BBC_guard-45">[45]</a> The defense sought to portray Chacon and McManus as incredible witnesses. According to <a href="/wiki/The_Observer" title="The Observer">The Observer</a>, each witness had a "horrific story ... Yet, rather than calling the police, each appears to have sold that story to a supermarket tabloid."<a href="#cite_note-:9-37">[37]</a> McManus had previously denied witnessing misconduct from Jackson in a 1993 court deposition while under oath. In the 2005 trial, she said she had lied during the deposition because she feared that Jackson would report her to her superiors if she told police about the incident.<a href="#cite_note-BBC_guard-45">[45]</a> In the 1990s, Chacon and McManus had been part of a lawsuit filed against Jackson for <a href="/wiki/Wrongful_dismissal" title="Wrongful dismissal">wrongful dismissal</a>. After Jackson counter-sued, their lawsuit was thrown out as fraudulent and malicious.<a href="#cite_note-BBC_guard-45">[45]</a> According to testimony, Chacon and McManus had been found guilty of stealing items from Jackson's house amounting to more than $50,000 and ordered to pay more than $1 million in legal fees. On cross-examination, the pair affirmed that they had been paid for media interviews. McManus also acknowledged that she and her husband were found to have previously defrauded a relative's children and had stolen a sketch by Jackson worth $35,000. Mesereau accused the pair of attempting to "get even" with Jackson for the failed suit and characterized them as money-seekers.<a href="#cite_note-wapo_copeland-36">[36]</a> Housekeeper Kiki Fournier testified that the Arvizo children became unruly at Neverland Ranch without authority figures. She said that the Arvizo boys "trashed" their guest rooms, and that at one point Star had pointed a knife at her in Jackson's kitchen. She said that although the boys had guest rooms they would often stay with Jackson. However, she said she never saw Jackson giving the boys alcohol and never saw them drunk.<a href="#cite_note-cnn_neverland-46">[46]</a> Cynthia Bell, a flight attendant who had served Jackson, testified that she never saw him share his drink with Gavin. She said she had devised the custom of serving Jackson wine in soda cans because Jackson did not like to openly drink alcohol in front of his children.<a href="#cite_note-Latimes_pfeifer-47">[47]</a> Bell said she had not seen Jackson "cuddling" with Gavin during the flight, but testified that she had seen Jackson put his arm around him while he was listening to music. She said that Gavin was demanding, complained about the food, and was unruly during the flight.<a href="#cite_note-wapo_edds-48">[48]</a> Phillip LeMarque, Jackson's cook, said that he entered Jackson's room and saw Jackson with his hand in Culkin's underpants.<a href="#cite_note-:9-37">[37]</a> LeMarque and his wife, also a Jackson employee, had considered selling the story to a tabloid,<a href="#cite_note-:26-49">[49]</a> but had backed out as the intermediary was "sleazy".<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a> LeMarque said he had decided not to sell because it was "against our principles".<a href="#cite_note-:26-49">[49]</a> Jesús Salas, a former house manager at the Neverland Ranch, testified that he often saw Jackson drunk or affected by prescription drugs, and once saw three teenage boys emerging drunk from the wine cellar after having spent time with Jackson. When the prosecution attempted to confirm Jackson had served wine to minors, Salas said that although he brought a bottle of wine to Jackson's bedroom, sodas were also ordered for the children.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> The judge ruled out testimony from a former security guard who alleged that he saw Jackson in his bedroom with a boy.<a href="#cite_note-:16-52">[52]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Jordan_Chandler">Jordan Chandler</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Trial_of_Michael_Jackson&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Jordan Chandler">edit</a>]</div> Jordan Chandler, the alleged victim in the 1993 child abuse allegations, left the country rather than appear as a witness.

This appeared to upset Jackson, who had formed a bond with June and her children. June said Jackson asked her: "You don’t trust me? We’re a family. Why are you doing this?" She responded that Jordan should be allowed to sleep where he wanted, indicating a change of mind. Chandler testified that she had never suspected anything inappropriate between Jackson and Jordan.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> She told the court that she had not spoken to Jordan in eleven years.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Debbie_Rowe">Debbie Rowe</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Trial_of_Michael_Jackson&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Debbie Rowe">edit</a>]</div> On April 28, Jackson's ex-wife <a href="/wiki/Debbie_Rowe" title="Debbie Rowe">Debbie Rowe</a> was called on the witness stand. The prosecution claimed that Rowe was forced into a scripted videotaped statement made in early 2003 in support of Jackson.
