A man who claims to be Michael Jackson's 'secret son' has alleged that the late pop star drank his urine as a child in a disturbing act of grooming. Dominic Cascio, one of four siblings who have accused the legendary singer of sexual assault, described the incident as part of a pattern of abuse spanning over two decades.
Allegations of Abuse
The Cascio family filed a lawsuit against Jackson's estate in February, alleging that the King of Pop groomed and sexually abused them for 25 years. Dominic claimed that Jackson drank his urine when he was a child in a twisted attempt to show affection.
Speaking to 60 Minutes Australia, Dominic said: 'He would drink my urine and tell me: "This is how much I love you." I'm maybe 12 years old at the time, like, I'm a child who's seeing this man do this.' He added: 'And I said: "Oh, I guess he really does love me. I mean, I would never want to drink someone's urine, so he must really love me."'
According to Dominic, Jackson would also 'tell me that this was a special bond that we had, and he would tell me you know I'm only doing this with you like I love you so much.'
Broader Claims
The four siblings—Eddie, Dominic, Aldo, and Marie-Nicole—claimed that Jackson groomed and sexually abused them as children, showering them with lavish gifts, drugs, and alcohol. They alleged abuse occurred at properties belonging to actress Elizabeth Taylor and singer Elton John, as well as at Jackson's Neverland Ranch.
Dominic described Jackson as 'a monster, he's evil, what he did was evil. And he's tricked the whole world to think he's this innocent, perfect human being, and he's not.'
Eddie, 43, claimed he met Jackson when he was just two years old. He alleged that Jackson began molesting him at age 11 during the 1993 Dangerous tour, and that the abuse continued every night while they shared a bed. 'That's when my world started to change,' he claimed. 'We were on tour, and that's when Michael started to get closer and started rubbing me on my legs. I was sitting on his lap, and that's when the first kiss happened, where he kissed me on the lips.' Eddie also alleged that Jackson was 'penetrating' him by age 16, adding: 'My manhood was taken away, as well as my childhood.'
Disturbing Games
Some siblings claimed Jackson made them play a disturbing game called the 'booty rumble.' Dominic said: 'He would lay me on top of him with my genitals up against his. While he would shake, he would kind of push up against me.'
Marie-Nicole alleged that Jackson would make her undress at age 12 and masturbate while looking at her. Aldo, the youngest, claimed Jackson started sexually assaulting him while they lay in bed playing video games. Aldo alleged: 'He just pulled down my shorts and started giving me oral sex. And he'd [say] right away: "Doesn't that feel good? See, I love you. I love you."'
Drug and Alcohol Claims
The Cascio family also claimed that Jackson supplied them with prescription drugs and alcohol as children. They said he brought wine, which he called 'Jesus juice,' and 'Disney juice,' a nickname for hard liquor. Marie-Nicole claimed: 'He gave me Xanax and Vicodin at 11 years old and told me I'd be floating and I would love it.'
Estate Response
A lawyer for Jackson's estate, Marty Singer, dismissed the allegations as a 'money grab,' stating: 'Notably, these shakedown attempts come more than 15 years after Jackson's death, thus carrying no risk of being sued for defamation. Sadly, in death just as in life, Jackson's talents and success continue to make him a target.'
