A woman has sued Jermaine Jackson (pic), older brother of Michael Jackson and a member of the Jackson 5, alleging that the singer sexually assaulted her.
In the suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, Rita Barrett claims that she knew Jackson through her husband’s friendship with Motown Records founder Berry Gordy. She alleges in the suit that, in 1988, “Defendant Jackson arrived at Plaintiff’s home unannounced. Defendant Jackson forced himself into Plaintiff’s home, and with force and violence sexually assaulted Plaintiff.”
