BIG NEWS: Anthony ‘sin eater’ Pellicano walks free from jail today (March 23rd)
Pellicano is being released on his 75th birthday today after serving time for litany of crimes including possession of plastic explosives, wiretapping, racketeering, protection, intimidation, witness tampering and destroying evidence.
He warned in a Newsweek interview in 2008: "A lot of people are quaking that I'm going to disclose a lot of things when I get out.
"They'll just have to keep quaking won't they?"
In the same interview he said of Jackson: "I quit because I found out some truths... He did something far worse to young boys than molest them."
And last year he told the Hollywood Reporter he was disgusted by truths "even darker" than the Chandler case.
He said: "I was offered $500,000 to tell the whole story by a tabloid and I declined."
Pellicano played a huge part in Jackson's 1993 negotiations with Jordy's dad Evan Chandler.
The then 13-year-old claimed ***** groomed and molested him leading to the superstar performer’s arrest and "humiliating" strip search.
Jordy was able to draw distinctive marks on Jackson’s penis and buttocks – as the Thriller icon suffered from the skin condition vitiligo.
Police in California then strip searched and photographed ***** genitals.
The star, who denied all allegations of sex abuse, called that "the most humiliating ordeal of my life”.
But Pellicano talked Jordy's stepfather into recording conversations with Evan, who was heard saying there would be a "massacre... if I don't get what I want".
This formed the basis of Pellicano's claim the accusations were a part of an extortion plot and Jackson agreed a massive settlement with the Chandler family reported to between $20m and $24m.
The news of Pellicano's release comes after Jackson and his scandalous past came into the spotlight again after the release of the Leaving Neverland documentary, featuring fresh abuse claims by Jackson’s one-time fans Wade Robson and James Safechuck.
