Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations
First abuse allegations against singer
American singer Michael Jackson first faced allegations of child sexual abuse in Evan Chandler, a dentist and screenwriter based in Los Angeles, accused Jackson of sexually abusing Chandler's year-old son, Jordan.

For a while, it was Jackie Collins, whose salacious tales of Hollywood sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll were the literary substitute for the pornography I had no access to as a pre-teen. At the height of this phase, I wrote a short story about a successful businesswoman named Selecia (which seemed like a sexier version of the name Felecia) who harbored a dark secret as she climbed the corporate ladder.
