The legal drama never seems to end for Michael Jackson. A month after his acquittal on numerous child-molestation counts, Jackson is now facing possible contempt-of-court charges after failing to appear for a hearing he was ordered to attend in a Louisiana civil court last week. U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon has scheduled another hearing for August 17, which he ordered Jackson to attend. If the pop star is absent from that proceeding, Fallon could hold him in contempt – and may even issue a default judgment in the case. Wednesday’s hearing marked the start of a civil case stemming from a lawsuit filed in November by a man who claims Jackson kidnapped him during the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans; Joseph Bartucci’s suit alleges that Jackson lured him into a limousine, held him against his will for several days and sexually assaulted him. Bartucci claims he didn’t recall the assault, having repressed the memory until watching Court TV in November 2003, when he learned of new child molestation charges brought against Jackson. Bartucci, who was 18 at the time of the alleged abuse, claims he’s suffered a list of ailments as a result, including scarring, aggravation of pre-existing heart problems, eyesight impairment, suicidal tendencies and post-traumatic stress disorder.
