Jackson Aide Booked Family's Brazil Flight-Witness
By Alexandria Sage
SANTA MARIA, Calif. (Reuters) - Michael Jackson's travel agent told jurors in the entertainer's child molestation trial on Tuesday that she was asked to book a last-minute, one-way flight to Brazil for the family of Jackson's accuser.
Prosecutors, who are winding up their case against the 46-year-old entertainer, used Cynthia Montgomery's testimony to try to corroborate claims by the boy's mother that Jackson and his aides imprisoned the family and threatened to whisk them off to Brazil.
Montgomery, a Las Vegas travel agent, also backed earlier testimony that Jackson had standing orders to be served wine in soda cans when flying -- a key claim by prosecutors who seek to prove the pop star plied his intended victim with alcohol in order to abuse him.
In addition to molesting a then-13-year-old cancer survivor, Jackson is charged with conspiring to commit false imprisonment, child abduction and extortion. He faces more than 20 years in prison if convicted on all 10 criminal counts.
Jackson has pleaded innocent.
Montgomery is the target of both a lawsuit by Jackson and a federal investigation over a November 2003 incident in which Jackson was secretly videotaped consulting with his lawyer on a later flight he took to surrender to police in Santa Barbara.
The family of Jackson's accuser never used the $15,000 tickets purchased for the hastily arranged trip to Sao Paulo booked at the request of Marc Schaffel, a member of Jackson's inner circle and a producer of gay porn films.
Montgomery testified under a grant of immunity, meaning that the statements she made could in court could not be used by the FBI as evidence against her.
'MAKE MR. JACKSON LOOK GOOD'
She told jurors that Schaffel, one of Jackson's unindicted co-conspirators, told her to book a one-way ticket to Brazil for the family of Jackson's accuser for a departure in March 2003.
"He asked me to make flight arrangements for four passengers to Brazil," Montgomery said, adding that she picked an arbitrary return date for the open-ended booking.
Also on Tuesday, Jackson's personal photo director testified about the circumstances surrounding a videotaped interview with the family of Jackson's accuser -- a so-called rebuttal tape -- that has become central to the case.
Hamid Moslehi said he was told to shoot the documentary in a bid "to make Mr. Jackson look good."
Prosecutors claim that Jackson's camp panicked after the broadcast of a controversial February 2003 documentary about the pop star in which he was shown holding hands with his accuser and defended his practice of sharing his bed with boys.
"We were trying to show that basically there was nothing between Mr. Jackson and (the boy) that they were showing in the media," Moslehi said.
Moslehi said it was well after midnight when the family was brought to his home in the Los Angeles area and shooting of the rebuttal tape began.
On the tape, which has been played for jurors, the mother of Jackson's accuser and other members of the family lavish praise on the entertainer as a benevolent father-like figure.
The accuser's mother, who took $2,000 from Moslehi as a loan she never repaid, later said those remarks were scripted by Jackson's camp.
At one point, in preparing the rebuttal tape, Moslehi said he overheard Schaffel saying of the family: "We've got to get them out of the country."
Moslehi has filed a lawsuit against Jackson claiming unpaid invoices, which he said at one point totaled $250,000. |

Maybe, if he gets convicted, he could end up using those tickets himself. He could be like Ronnie Biggs and hide out in Brazil for 20 years, doing TV commercials and stuff. |

Well...anyway Motsie...I just don't understand this "hide out in Brazil", since we are not just jungle, natives and wild animals for about 500 years.  |

Well one can "hide out" in a city too. Yes, Biggs is the illustrious Great Train Robber who just turned himself in a few years back.
(I think he died recently?????????????????)

Ronald Biggs fled to Brazil after excaping prision. While hiding out he got his Brazilian girlfriend pregnant which in the end gave him conditional liberty.

Nope, Biggsy is still alive and residing at Her Majesty's Prison, Belmarsh.
He's had a few strokes since returning home a couple of years back and is in poor health, but the Home Secretary still refuses to release him. He's hardly much of a danger, however so it seems keeping him contained (even in a prison as low security as Belmarsh) seems a total waste of taxpayer's money. |

Yes. As far as I understand it Biggs actual role in the Robbery itself was quite minor. (And he never came through with the other train driver like he was supposed to or something like that). His claim to fame was all those years on the lam IMO. The "mastermind/genius" was Bruce Reynolds. Now I'm not an expert on this but I did see Bruce Reynolds on TV a couple of years ago in a documentary.
Let that be a good lesson...."crime doesn't pay"...unless you're a politician of course.
