MICHAEL Jackson “wept, shook and trembled” as he begged Jordy Chandler’s mum to let her son share his bed, a court heard yesterday.

June Chandler told for the first time of Jordy’s relationship with Jacko as she gave evidence at the pop superstar’s child molestation trial.

She told jurors in Santa Maria, California, how the singer arrived late at night with Jordy, then 13, at a Las Vegas hotel where she was staying in 1993.

Mrs Chandler, 51, said: “He was sobbing, shaking, trembling. He said, ‘Why don’t you trust me? We’re family. Why aren’t you allowing Jordy to be with me’?

“I said I was allowing Jordy to be with him.

“He said, ‘In my bedroom, why not in my bedroom? We have fun, we all fall asleep, the boys’.

“I said, ‘This is not anything I want. This is not right’. Michael said, ‘We’re a family, Jordy is having fun, why can’t he sleep in my bed? There is nothing going on’.”

Mrs Chandler told the jury the exchange lasted up to 40 minutes and she finally relented.

She said she saw them in bed together — and that Jacko stayed in Jordy’s room in her home even though it had just one bed.

Mrs Chandler said she saw Jackson in bed with Jordy in Monte Carlo and that they also shared a bed on trips to Florida’s Disney World, France and New York.

In Monaco she began to notice she was being kept away from the pair when Jackson boarded up his room. But she said her son’s behaviour soon deteriorated and he grew “sullen”.

And she said she had another tearful confrontation with Jacko when she said the sleep-overs were “out of hand”.

Jordy got a £12million pay-off after claiming the singer molested him.

Under cross-examination, Mrs Chandler admitted she had not spoken to her son — now 25 — for 11 years.

She also said that at the time she did not suspect anything “improper” was going on between the lad and Jackson.

June told the court that throughout her son’s relationship with Jackson, the singer had given her a host of gifts.

These included a £3,700 gift certificate to a boutique and jewellery.

Jackson, 46, denies molesting a 15-year-old cancer victim and false imprisonment. The trial continues.
