"Eddie Cascio stated, 'We were brainwashed, we were groomed,' expressing the deep psychological manipulation they experienced at the hands of Michael Jackson. He felt that Jackson took away his manhood, highlighting the profound impact of the abuse."
"Aldo Cascio revealed that the abuse began when he was just 7 years old, recounting a disturbing incident where Jackson performed oral sex on him while he played on a Game Boy in his bedroom."
"Marie-Nicole shared that her first assault occurred at age 12, during a time when Jackson was staying in her family home after the September 11 attacks, illustrating the predatory nature of Jackson's behavior."
"The siblings noted that watching Leaving Neverland in 2019 helped them recognize the similarities between their experiences and those of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, leading them to view their past relationships with Jackson as exploitative."
The Cascio siblings, who considered Michael Jackson family, have decided to sue his estate for sexual assault. They recounted their experiences of abuse, which began at young ages. Aldo alleged molestation starting at age 7, while Marie-Nicole and Dominic reported similar experiences at ages 12 and 8, respectively. The siblings felt brainwashed and groomed by Jackson. Watching the documentary Leaving Neverland helped them recognize the exploitative nature of their relationships with him. Their parents declined to comment on the allegations through a lawyer.
