The former guard, Ralph Chacon also acknowledged he was ordered to pay $25,000 for allegedly stealing Jackson’s property, which he said was only a candy bar.
In heated cross-examination, he acknowledged that when he and other employees decided to sue Jackson they consulted a lawyer who told them the only way they could fund the suit was to sell stories to tabloids. Chacon said they sold a story for $17,000 and all the money went to the lawyer.
Mesereau pressed him on whether he drafted the story at the lawyer’s office.
“I probably did,” said Chacon. “It’s been a long time.”
“Well it’s no longer than some of these events you claim to have witnessed with Mr. Jackson,” Mesereau replied.
The witness paused and said, “I probably did. I did.”
He fended off Mesereau’s suggestions that he has added “more lurid facts” each time he has told his story, but he acknowledged that this week he met with Sneddon and gave him additional details.
“Did you say you forgot to say things about Mr. Jackson molesting young men in 1993?” asked Mesereau.
“Yes, sir,” said the witness.
“And now you remember them in 2005?” Mesereau said.
“Vaguely, yes,” Chacon said.
