Father Of The Boy Michael Jackson Was Accused Of Molesting Found Dead
Evan Chandler, the father to the boy that Michael Jackson was once accused of sexually molesting, was found dead in his Jersey City apartment on November 5th.
Chandler charged Jackson with the molestation of his then 13-year-old son in the early '90s, but that case never went to trial and they reached a multi-million-dollar civil settlement.
Chandler's death has been ruled a suicide as he was found with a gun on his body and he had a single bullet wound to the head. He was 65 years old.
The Jersey City Police Department reveals:
“There was no note found in the apartment but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition. A doctor based at Colanta Hematology in Bayonne, NJ, had called the concierge, asking him check on Mr. Chandler’s apartment as Mr. Chandler had missed an appointment.
"It was thanks to the concierge’s actions that Mr. Chandler’s body was discovered. Mr. Chandler’s body has now been returned to his family.”
Sad, sad.

”Lies Run Prints, But The Truth Runs Marathons” : Michael Jackson
Karma's a bitch, Huh Chandler?
Money grabbing dog.
Sad? In my opinion this guy forced his son to lie about Michael Jackson. He told his son to say Michael did things to him and I am convinced in 10 maybe 20 years time the truth will out. When all the money runs out he'll come clean and admit he was forced to lie. Most believed this lie and I can't wait to see how they excuse what they put MJ through when the truth comes out. Michael would still be performing now if it weren't for all the lies…
Strange that he died this year only a few months after Michael's death. I guess all that money didn't make him happy in the end.
Oooh, don't mess with Mike…he will have your ass capped even from the grave!
I wonder if the father and son were estranged.
I had read that the son no longer spoke to his mother, as he feels she allowed him to be molested because she was starstruck.
Sad situation all around.
how the fuck was he 65?
impossable
lol m.j was 50
and he must be in his 30 or late 20's
but yeah anywho … karams a bitch. prob felt bad about micheals death and couldnt take it any longer
Can't say im sad about his death.
R.I.P. I don't know. More than likely trying to sell his script in hell. Just my opinion.
Evan Chandler got EXACTLY what he deserved. I hope the truth will come out very soon. This family made Michael Jackson's life a nightmare. Now, it's their turn. Karma is a bitch. What comes around, goes around.
Well, I know it is nasty to rejoice over somebody's death, but I just can't help it. Considering the malicious things Evan Chandler has done to Michael Jackson, I bet that despite being $20 million richer, he never had a single day of peace until the day of his suicide. With his father now gone, I hope Jordan Chandler will come forward to clear Michael's name.
Ironic
not sad at all. he probably felt horrible about mj's death and all the shit he put him through so he plugged himself. karma's a bitch.
hmmm makes you wonder…. maybe he felt bad about what he did to MJ!!!
Karma… RIP MJ!
Re: ruunyi –
the father died and he was 65.
not the son that claimed he was molested by MJ.
Evan Chandler= Lying Ass
I'm thinking it was definitely the guilt that lead this pathetic excuse for a man to this. hope he rots in hell.
FINALLY! Karma I guess …
but HOLD ON Perez! As Michael Jackson died you said that he is just faking and that ticket holders should get their money back and if this Chandler dad dies you say "sad, sad"?
I heard his son stopped speaking to him a long time ago ..
Re: ruunyi – the age is that of the father, not the son. read before commenting please.
why is this sad? suicide is good housekeeping; everyone has to die, and it's good when someone can be determinist enough to choose the time and place rather than just waiting for disease or accident or homicide to snuff the breath. good for him!
actually this isnt sad at all karma is a bitch
evan was the one that did the real abuse his son had charges against him for child abuse the man will rot in hell and most likley killed himself from guilt this just made my day = )
Re: eatingboys –
LMAO true Mario is such an azz
I don't feel bad what so ever….guess it was eating away and him what he did to MJ and couldnt live with himself anymore…..Good…hope he goes straight to hell.
SUCKED IN! THIS ISNT SAD! HE FUCKEN DESERVED IT! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND ASSHOLE!! ABOUT TIME HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED!
Sad, sad??? What a pathetic comment Perez. You have sympathy for this monster but accuse Michael of a publicity stunt when he died??
The only thing sad about this is that Chandler's death wasn't long and drawn out like the pain and suffering he inflicted on Michael for SIXTEEN YEARS. If it had not been for this disgusting man, his filthy lies and his greed then Michael would be here today. I am so glad he is dead and have been celebrating since hearing the news. I am looking forward to Moonwalking on his grave. Karma baby, Karma.
JORDY - I HOPE YOU ARE NEXT.
I do believe Michael's relationship with children was inappropriate and bordering on criminal, I also believe that the people that filed civil suits did so for the money. They took advantage of Michael and his "appreciation" of children. If you think your children are in any danger, do you intentionally put them in a situation? No…you get the hell out of there. This man was just as sick as he claimed Michael was and he got what he deserved.
Perez you are such an asshole, why don't you write a snarky comment about this cruel man instead of
>>>Chandler charged Jackson with the molestation of his then 13-year-old son in the early '90s, but that case never went to trial and they reached a multi-million-dollar civil settlement.
Re: jacksonjunkie – -
-
yeah, okay idiot - the father forced the kid to testify - and Michael fought it in court to prove his innocence - whats that? he DIDN'T fight it in court? he paid a settlement to secure his freedom, in essence admitting that he MOLESTED THAT KID???
-
thank God that twisted, pasty diddler is dead - I guess even the Lord had to say enough to his brand of evil
-
in "twenty years" Michael's fucked up kids will let us all know how he molested them - no coincidence that he started his "family" right after the first molestation trial - funny how he forced a twisted, reclusive lifestyle on those kids lest they find out from other kids that Daddy touching them is WRONG WRONG WRONG
-
I'll see you in Hell, Mr. Jackson, and will join the line of people kicking your narrow, junkie ass for all eternity
-
omg. a suicide. is this his conscience catching up with him? he got mj's money and that was still not happiness.
i think this could be the beginning of showing mj was innocent all along. i hope the people commenting here weren't the idiots that used to say mj was a pedophile. i never believed that.
Okay, a suicide is always sad. But this man forced his kid to lie. He was only after Michael's money, like so many greedy bastards who took advantage of him (I'm looking at you, Joe Jackson). I say, karma came to bite him in the ass in the most horrible way.
Karma's a byatch!
So maybe, just maybe he was feeling guilty because of jackson's death? You know, those cases of pedophilia helped into the death spiral that led Michael to his death.
Here come all the Michael Jackson fans that consistantly berate others for not being sweet and good and kind and saying mean things and what do they do? They sit here and say it was good that this man is dead and he deserved it. What a bunch of hypocritical nutcases.
Re: justme09 – I completely agree…while suicide is no answer to one's problems, perhaps the guilt and shame Mr Chandler felt over pretty destroying an innocent man's life (Michael's) were more than he could handle…It's sad in the respect that a son has lost his father and also because nobody truly deserves to die…but maybe in this case the truth is finally coming out about Michael's innocence? That would be a nice change from all the years he was considered to be a child molester…too bad he isn't here to see the truth revealed.
Good riddance. I hope he burns in Hell.
This brightens my day.
One MJ hater down and out. Pray for more.
Re: Spindoc –
I also agree with your comment…People need to be careful how they word things. It's NOT wonderful that Mr Chandler killed himself…Nobody should ever take their own life…However, perhaps with Mr Chandler's death the truth about Michael's innocence will prevail and he will finally be cleared of all the years he was labelled a "child molester"…I pray that both Micahel and Mr Chandler can find peace in the after life as it's apparent neither of them found it while alive here on earth…
Re: alfabravo – So why did Michael Jackson settle, you ask? It appeared that the judicial system was not on his side. When civil and criminal proceedings arise over the same allegation, the defendant is entitled to a stay of discovery and trial in the civil action until the criminal matter is resolved. In Michael Jackson's case, the civil trial was scheduled to occur before the criminal trial, which would have been a violation of Jackson's constitutional right to not self-incriminate. Jackson's attorney, Johnnie Cochrane, tried to get the civil trial postponed until AFTER the criminal trial but was not granted his request. He also filed a motion blocking the District Attorney's office from obtaining evidence used in the civil proceedings; again, he was not granted his request. If the civil trial had occurred, the prosecution would have been privy to Michael's entire defense strategy. This would have given them time in between the civil and criminal trials to come up with a way to counter Michael's defense. By settling, Michael did not have to go to court in the civil case and reveal his defense strategy to the prosecution.
Re: alfabravo –
Other reasons include the fact that the civil trial could have taken 8-9 months, which would have cost Michael millions of dollars in legal fees. Add to that the possibility of losing in court and one can see that paying the Chandlers $20 million might have actually been the cheaper alternative. Keep in mind that civil trials are very different from criminal trials in that the jury's verdict does not have to be unanimous. Only 51% of the jury would have to rule against Michael and he would have lost the civil trial. This could have later been used against him in the criminal trial as well. When you look at the case from a legal standpoint, Michael's decision to settle makes a lot of sense. Once the civil trial was settled, the criminal trial continued and there was not enough evidence to charge Michael.
Perhaps a more telling question is why would you accept money from someone who allegedly molested your child instead of fighting to put them behind bars?
Although Evan Chandler only wanted money, isn't it possible that Michael was still guilty?
No. Remember, before carrying out his plan, Evan Chandler went to Michael Jackson first and asked for money. Chandler had the letter from Dr. Abrams saying sexual abuse might have occured and if the boy admitted to it, he would be forced to report it to child welfare services. Chandler used this letter to try to blackmail Michael in the very beginning and was turned away. Assuming Michael Jackson had actually molested this boy, why didn't he take that opportunity to avoid getting caught? He could have paid up right then and avoided the entire ordeal. Instead, he refused to pay the Chandlers. If he was guilty, please explain to me why he did that.
It's undeniable that Evan Chandler only wanted money; knowing this, why didn't Michael just buy his silence in the beginning? Imagine how different things would have been for him if the allegations had never been made public. His career would not have been jeopardized, his image would not have been tarnished and, again, assuming he was indeed a pedophile he could have carried on with his activities without people suspecting anything. The only logical reason to explain why he didn't pay off Evan Chandler is because he was INNOCENT and naively assumed that justice would be on his side.
Also, keep in mind that pedophiles have hundreds of victims. Out of the thousands of children who have stayed at Neverland, you expect me to believe that Michael only molests children whose parents are dishonest and greedy? Surely he would have other victims besides Jordan Chandler and the new accuser. Why haven't they come forward? Let me guess, he paid them all off? None of his victims have parents who are normal, honest people? None of them want justice for their poor molested children? Bullshit.
it was probably his guilty conscience
yes its sad but its also sad that he made his son lie about being molested just for the money….
Re: Spindoc – Just because people are obviously fans of Michael Jackson they're not allowed to say something mean which is TOTALLY justified in this case? lol for life yo
Karma's a bitch.
I'm not even gonna say R.I.P.
Re: alfabravo – yet why would he accept money from a person that so called molested his child
hmm this was the man that was caught on tape saying he wanted to ruin MJ and get everything, this was the man that later got charged for beating the shit out of his own kids yea you can get a 12 year old to say anything while your punching there fuckin face in ,this was the man the got extremly angry with micheal when micheal didnt want to put money in to help his crappy film
the person that should have died in the first place is dead and im glad the bastered died from what ive heard they blowed the nice 20 million dollars they recieved
also it was his insurance that payed them off same thing when some one at an company cries sexual harrassment and weather its true or not most companies dont want to go to trial because it messes up there reputation so therefore they settle with their insurance
people usually go after other people insurance money rather them personally when they sue for bullshit or they LIE
Why did Jordan Chandler make allegations against Michael?
Jordan only made allegations after his father gave him a drug called sodium amytal. According to Dr. Resnick, a Cleveland psychiatrist, "It's a psychiatric medication that cannot be relied on to produce fact. People are very suggestible under it. People will say things under sodium amytal that are blatantly untrue." He goes on to say, "It is quite possible to implant an idea through the mere asking of a question. The idea can become their memory, and studies have shown that even when you tell them the truth, they will swear on a stack of Bibles that it happened."
Sodium amytal has been a factor in other child molestation cases, one of which occurred in Napa County, California. After undergoing many therapy sessions, and being administered the sodium amytal drug, a 20-year-old woman accused her father of molesting her as a child. Her father denied the charges and sued the therapist and the psychiatrist. The jury sided with the father, believing that the memory had been implanted in the woman's mind as a result of being given the drug. Sadly, it seems that Jordan Chandler was merely a pawn in his father's sick scam to extort money.
Were charges ever brought against Michael in 1993?
No. After Jordan refused to testify, the District Attorney's case fell apart. The authorities literally tried everything to find evidence that would corroborate Jordan's story. They contacted hundreds of children who had stayed at Neverland and could not find another "victim." Even though authorities used aggressive interrogation techniques, not one child said anything bad about Michael. They also searched his house from top to bottom and took photographs of Michael's naked body. The case was brought in front of TWO grand juries but no charges were ever filed due to lack of evidence. There might be the odd tabloid rumour about what investigators found but let's put it this way- if there was any evidence that even remotely supported Michael Jackson being a pedophile, charges would have been brought against him. As Michael Jackson said in his interview with Diane Sawyer, "They found nothing, nothing, nothing that could say Michael Jackson did this. Nothing! To this day, nothing. Still, nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing." Amen.
Finally that bitch got what he deserved, thats what you get when you lie!
It just goes to show that $$$ can not buy happiness….
In my opinion, I don't feel sorry for him, I think he got what he deserved. The sad-excuse-for-a-human probably committed suicide out of guilt over destroying Michael's life and career from the, in my opinion, false allegation's. I hope he goes to hell, the only thing "sad" about his death is that he didn't die 17 years ago.
wow, was the lie to much to live with? finally caught up?
The truth always reveals itself.
Its because of the allegations he created regarding Michael Jackson that Jackson began self medicating to the point of addiction.
What a sad, strange, tragic year.
the man COULD NOT LIVE WITH HIS GUILT! he knew he lied
Karma…is a bitch!
that's karma for lying.
SAD??Mario you must be kidding me right??? I have looked up all your posts on Michael way before he died, calling him names, a freak and taking the piss out of him?? and as soon as he dies you jump on the band waggon…oh poor michael, rest in peace michael, this and that michael, trying to lick a dead mans arse?? if i were you, i would keep shut about shit on michael who are you to say anything when you were one of the people who bullied him for such a long time…
thats why WILL.I.AM gave you one! learn to be nice to people! this chandler person is concerned im not one bit sad about his death…what goes around comes around in my opinion…guess his conscience came in to place after Michael died. I PRAY the truth comes out, Michael was not a molester…he was a kind man, who loved children and if there were more people like him in this world, the world would be such a better place! kids need love, and not alot of kids were loved…were you loved enough mario? seems not if all you do is love to bully people on here and only lick the ass of tranny lady gaga and katy perry…oh and rihanna, but yet she dont want anything to do with you…People in this world have such a corrupt mind these days when it comes to children!! children can not even be kids no more!! we cant take photos of our own children in school cos they are worried a pedo might be there…we cant even look at a child or we would be called a molester!! its wrong! children are beautiful, innocent and pure!! they should be admired…
Yeah he lives in the Heights section… He was money and fame-hungry, he pushed that case on his child; damn, what people would do for money…
This is on some way Justice for MJ. They dude committed suicide out of GUILT!! No when the father is no longer there, maybe Jordan Chandler can speak the truth? Lord will have NO mercy on th Chandlers.
Its time for justice.
Karma is a BITCH!!! It is time for the TRUTH!! Jordan Chandler need to speak up. They ARE responsible for all the crap MJ gone through. MJ took prescritpion pills after the accusations, thats a fact. They harmed him so much. Justice fo MJ!
How is this sad, Fatass? That guy put Michael through hell. He's right where he belongs.
"Lies run sprint - truth runs marathon" - Michael Jackson. The truth ALWAYS prevails!
KARMA IS A FUCKING BITCH!!!!!!!! His guilt cought up with him and he shot himself the coward!!! His won son filed court proceedings against him saying he hit him with a hammer on his head! GREAD IS EVIL GREED IS EVIL!!! This is just the start people theres more to this…THE WORLD WILL FIND OUT SOONER OR LATER THAT MJ WAS INNCOCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guilt killed him. Too bad guilt doesn't kill alot of people who have it coming. Maybe now the son can tell the truth before it kills him too.
The boy, now 29 (Jordan Chandler) has never spoken publicly about the case. In recent years, Jordan has reconnected with his mother — about the same time he and dad Evan had a massive falling out, sources said.
Jordan Chandler claimed his dad attacked him with a dumbbell weight and got a restraining order against his pop in fall 2006
Re: caroaber –
*Jordan filed for and was granted emancipation less than a year after he [i]refused[/i] to testify in a criminal trial and Michael's [i]insurance company[/i] settled [i]despite Michael's protestations[/i].
*Jordan's mom was called to testify in 2005, told them that he had not spoken to his parents in 11 years.
*Jordan lives in in NY and is quite vocal in his defense of Michael.
*Prosecution tried to illegally allow hearsay evidence from the 1993 case by saying Jordan was out of the country.
*MJ's defense warned that they had 3 sworn witnesses - Jordan's friends from NYU - ready to take the stand and that they would defend MJ on Jordan's behalf.
*Jordan called b.s. on the "out of country" story and alerted the paps to where he was, the next day he was seen on the web smiling for the camera with friends in CA.
*Evan got scared, tried to control Jordan by telling him he was dying and needed him to move in.
*Two months after Michael was acquitted Jordan went to court and filed for a restraining order because [i]his dad sprayed mace in his face, tried to choke him, and threw a 12 lb weight at his head[/i]….
Re: alfabravo – Fuck you retard MJ's INSURANCE COMPANY SETTLED WITH EVEN CHNADLER AGAINST MJ'S WISHES GO READ THE SETTLEMENT DOCUMENT. WHAT KIND OF FATHER TAKES MONEY? A GREEDY LYING ONE!
JORDAN CHANDLER IN 2005 FILED COURT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST HIS OWN FATHER BEAT HIM WITH A HAMMER AND WAS TOLD BY A COURT TO STAY AWAY FROM JORDAN!!!!
Re: JewelPop – wow i didnt know Jordans friends were ready to defend MJ at the trial wow!!! MJ I LOVE YOU! KARMA IS A BITCH EVAN BUT I HOPE YOU MAKE PEACE IN HELL
I bet it was guilt seeing how it lead to his death and knowing he was the cause. Didn't the son already say MJ didn't do it though? I thought he confessed years ago.
A happy day in hell today! That sad excuse for a human being finally put an end to his miserable life. People think they can destroy other people's lives without any repercurssion to their own selves,but it's not that simple.He certainly lived with a guilty conscience which destroyed his body and soul. The money he stole in the most despicable way wasn't worth it,and I hope this serves as a lesson to his son,because the same will happen to him,if he doesn't clear his conscience and Michael's name. Do the right thing Chandler,because karma is a bitch,and you don't want to end like you father.
wow i don't like to say nothing negative but who knows what happened. its weird he died the same year mj died and plus it was a suicide. although i know jordie will never told the truth because he could lose money, i hope we know the truth someday
His guilty conscience got the best of him…
Re: alfabravo – It's harder to prove innocence than extortion. There are payoffs thousands of times a year with celebs. Paying off is no admission of guilt - it's shut up and go away money. When they made fun of him for it, he did the trial the second time and voila - he still was proven innocent and it almost killed him. Arrogant people like YOU are the ones who deserve to be persecuted. You say he reclused with those kids - yet look what happens within weeks of them being "out and about", they were not only pestered to the point of tears, but their entourage ran into them for the money shot. He knew about fame and what the paps would do. He protected them from it and they are well educated.
Re: alfabravo – Gee, maybe because HE cared about the kid's feelings more than the father did?
Maybe he felt so guilty for wrongly accusing Michael Jackson of something he didn't do, that he killed himself.
Not likely, but how could Evan Chandler live with himself when he ruined somebodys life?? Michael lost fans because this man!! Its not sad that Evans gone. Its God punishing a horrible, money grubbing, liar!!! Whatever, Evan died with nobody loving him, and Michael died as one of the most loved people in the world!!! Michaels in Heaven and I could care less where Evan Chandler goes!!!!
Re: Amsterdamgirl – Exactly!!!!
Re: justme09 – This was also the same man who was arrested last year for not leaving his son alone, when the son refused to give him money. He threatened his own child because he demanded he give him more settlement than he had already gave and fund a high rolling lifestyle. According to the boy's lawyers and paperwork, there's a million-2million left out of 20, of which the boy couldn't touch til he was 18. Meaning there was like at MOST 3 million left after they squandered it away. The second which went to trial, not only were the parents found guilty separately of welfare fraud in the thousands, but were also accused in extortion plots (after MJ's trial) in several other stars.
Gosh I love MJ fans… Their all out busting out the facts on all the haters once again. I don't wish death upon anyone but I'm sure that Mr. Chandlers conscience really got the best of him after Michael's passing. Jordie Chandler basically emancipated himself from his parents after he received his money, one reason I'm sure being because he knew what he was forced to do wasn't right and he more then likely was afraid of his father and didn't want to come out publicly with the truth. Hopefully now he will fess up and even if he doesn't, knowledgeble people dispite their dislike for Michael should know that he was always innocent.
R.I.P Michael
And Perez, the nerve of you to put "Sad, Sad" at the end of this as if what you said about Michael was justified. Especially what you said about Michael on June 25th. You should apologize to his children, family, and fans.
Even if you believe that MJ molested that kid (I don't, but there are many that do) you gotta believe that a guy that calls his lawyers and accountants BEFORE the police is little more than a PIMP! Evan belongs in the same category with that B*TCH in North Carolina!
Re: alfabravo – You still know absolutely nothing I see… You shouldn't comment on topics that you are absolutely unknowledgeble about. BTW long time no see, I'm sure you enjoyed "This is It??"
First time I smile when hearing someone died… Im a terrible person
karma's a BIG bitch. huh chandler!
RIP
Michael Joseph Jackson never lived his life with a guilty conscience because he had never harmed anyone. However, he did live with a heavy heart because of people like Mr. Chandler who saw him as a payday and not as a human being with feelings. I would hate to have gone as long as Evan Chandler did with such a guilty conscience. I don't agree that he should have ended his life, all he had to do was come out and admit the truth. Though Michael has passed *tear*, I think he wouldn't have had a guilty conscience and Michael was a very forgiving person and I know he would have forgave him anyway.
R.I.P Michael
Ironic, sad or what? Same year as Paris, Prince and Blanket lost their daddy… Jordan Chandler does it as well. The sad part is that he took the truth to his grave - but we all know the truth!!!! Instead of facing the truth, he escaped and chose death. Coward.
Re: ruunyi – It was the boy's father that killed himself.
GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE…HE LIED ABOUT MICHAEL NOW I HOPE JORDON GOES AHEAD AND KILLS HIMSELF.BECAUSE OF THEM MICHAEL DIED AN EARLY DEATH.I HOPE THAT PIECE OF SHIT BURNS IN HELL FOR WHAT HE DID TO MICHAEL.
Re: minaahm – "Coward"
Your right, he is. I wish Michael was here but when he left this earth he didn't have to answer to anyone because he did nothing wrong. Hopefully if Mr. Chandler ever meets Michael again he will make his peace with him by apologizing.
Suicide? That's VERY telling. Probably the only way he could silence his demons.
"Former Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Thomas, who was in office when Jackson was investigated for touching Jordy, said he never held it against the family for taking the money and running."They probably did it because they thought it was in their best interest," Thomas said after learning of Chandler’s death.".. , thats right.. the family took money and ran away!
he didn't need to leave a note. His actions speak loud and clear.
Is this vindication, orchestrated by the hands of God, on behalf of Michael Jackson? I hope Jordan Chandler and the Arvizos will come out to admit their lies about MJ, or else they will possibly follow the same fate of Evan Chandler.
Re: ruunyi – What do you mean how could he be 65? He was the father of the boy and that happened many years ago. Don't be so dumb.
What an asshole. He got all this money from Michael Jackson, ruined his life- Piece of shit.
This guy was only 65 yr old- He died on Nov 5 but was found on Nov 17- Pathetic man. 12 days without anyone noticing your absence , what a pathetic and miserable life you had Evan.
