Jermaine Jackson Says His Family Had Secret Escape Route For Michael Jackson

Jermaine Jackson Says Family Planned To Fly Him Out Of The Country If Found Guilty

Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine is admitting that his family had a secret escape plan for the singer amidst his child molestation trial.

According to The Associated Press, Jackson says his family had secretly arranged to fly Michael to Bahrain if the pop icon was found guilty of child molestation.

He was quoted as saying that a private jet was on standby to whisk Michael away if the 2005 court case ended with a conviction.

Luckily for the Jackson family, Michael was found not guilty.

Jermaine says his brother did not know about the escape plan but Michael would have “done it in a heartbeat” because “why should he go to jail for something he didn't do?"

Bahrain does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S. and Jackson would have been safe there.
