Although never convicted, Michael Jackson was accused of molesting several different children throughout his life. In 1993, a case was opened accusing MJ of molesting 13-year-old Jordan Chandler. Jordan’s stepfather, David Schwartz owned a rental car shop in Los Angeles, and after MJ’s car broke down, offered him a free rental in exchange for a phone call to Jordan who was a big fan of the King of Pop. In 2003, another lawsuit was filed claiming MJ sexually assaulted 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo, whom MJ met after setting up a fundraiser to help raise money for Gavin’s chemotherapy treatment.
