Track: A Vanity Fair article written by Mauree Orth says the singer
gives children wine out of soda cans....calling white wine "Jesus Juice"
an red wine ``Jesus blood.''
Orth writes that Jackson's accuser claims the pop star gave him wine in
Coke cans on a flight from Florida in February 2003, with his
unsuspecting mom right there. The report quotes a former Jackson
business adviser, as saying all the kids around Jackson knew about Jesus
juice. Jackson reportedly told them, ``Jesus drank it, so it must be
good.''
Jackson is charged with having lewd contact with a child and giving an
intoxicating agent to a minor. Orth reports both the alleged victim and
his brother were offered drinks.

"He and his brother were both alleged to have been given wine by Jackson
- also shown pornography, naked girls on the internet and in magazines."

drugs. They also refer to another child abuse allegation where Jackson
settled out of court.
