The initial accusation, the Jodie case, was settled out of court yes. But that tells me only one thing - the allegations were unfounded. What parent, who has PROOF that thier child was sexually abused, takes money instead of justice?
In 4 other counts, Jackson was aquitted - jury verdict of innocent on each account.
There was another that was dismissed on grounds that the accusers failed to corroborate their own story and failure to attend before it even went to a full court case.
