MICHAEL Jackson offered the lad he is accused of molesting a house if he agreed to make a film praising him, a court heard yesterday.
The stepfather of the 13-year-old cancer victim said Jacko’s advisers wanted to make the film as a rebuttal to the damaging documentary by ITV’s Martin Bashir.
The stepdad said when he asked the star’s aide Frank Tyson what the boy would get in return for cooperation he was offered a college education and a house.
He said he turned the offer down and asked about money, but was accused of blackmail.
Bashir’s documentary outlined the star’s worrying relationship with young boys at Neverland — and led to the current charges.
The man also told the court in Santa Maria, California, how the boy's mum sat in a closet sobbing as she spoke to the star’s aides on the phone about the film.
He said she was “distressed” at allegedly being pressured into taking part in the film.
Jacko, 46, denies abusing the boy. The trial continues.
