Short story:
The father of thirteen-year-old Jordan Chandler goes to court to prevent his son seeing Michael Jackson after allegations of child abuse. As a result of the claims, Jackson's two homes in California had been raided by police, with the tabloids covering the allegations in lurid detail after receiving a leaked three-page report from the Los Angeles Department of Children's Services. Jackson is on tour in Bangkok at the time of the allegations, but is soon cancelling performances due to reported ill health. Guilty or not, the most powerful figure in pop music looked unlikely to ever fully recover from the front-page, worldwide allegations.
