Michael Jackson’s defence against child sex charges has suffered a fresh blow after a former maid told a court she caught him in the shower with an Australian boy.
Blanca Francia, whose son has tearfully told jurors that he was sexually assaulted three times by Mr Jackson between the ages of seven and ten, also said she once found the star and her son in a sleeping bag in a darkened room.
She told jurors of an alleged incident in 1989, when she found Jackson and an Australian boy aged seven or eight showering together as she entered the star’s bathroom at his Neverland ranch, not realising anyone was in.
"I walked in and they were in the shower," Ms Francia said. "When I saw it, I saw clothes on the floor by the shower ... underwear." The former maid added that she recognised the underclothes of Mr Jackson and the boy.
