- Johanna Sjoberg claimed she met Michael Jackson at Jeffrey Epstein's house
- Sjoberg said she met Jackson in Palm Beach and did not give him a massage
- The King of Pop, who died in 2009, was previously accused of child abuse
One of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged victims claimed she saw Michael Jackson at the pedophile's Florida mansion, but said she did not give the late King of Pop a massage.
Johanna Sjoberg, who claimed Prince Andrew groped her breast with a doll, said in newly unsealed statements that she met Michael Jackson while she was dating Epstein.
In a May 18, 2016, deposition, Sjoberg was asked if she had ever met anyone famous while dating Epstein, to which she replied, “I met Michael Jackson.”
Sjoberg was asked where she met the Thriller singer, and she replied, “At his house in Palm Beach. 'At Jeffrey's house in Palm Beach.'
She was then asked if she had given Jackson a massage and replied, “I haven't.”

Epstein's Palm Beach mansion was one of several places where he sexually abused young girls.
The waterfront property, just over a mile from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago, came on the market in 2020 for $21.995 million but is believed to have sold for $18 million.
Todd Michael Glaser, a Florida-based developer, now plans to demolish the existing home and build a new one in its place.
Jackson, who died in 2009 at age 50, was previously charged with child molestation.
In August, a California appeals court reopened the lawsuits of two men who alleged that the late King of Pop sexually abused them for years when they were boys.
A three-judge panel of California's 2nd District Court of Appeal concluded that the lawsuits filed by Wade Robson and James Safechuck should not have been dismissed by a lower court.
The justices ruled that the men could reasonably claim that the two Jackson-owned companies named as defendants in the cases had a responsibility to protect them.

The two men became better known for telling their stories in the 2019 HBO documentary series “Leaving Neverland.”
The four-hour documentary was heavily contested by the Jackson family, who called it a “public lynching” of a man who was acquitted of child abuse charges in 2005.
Sjoberg, now a hairdresser living in Florida, previously said Maxwell recruited her to provide massages for Epstein in 2001, when she was still in college.
At the request of Epstein and wife Ghislaine Maxwell, she infamously told a British newspaper about an alleged encounter with the Duke at the East 71st Street mansion on “Easter 2001.”
In her statements released Wednesday, she was asked whether she gave massages to various famous men who were guests at a party hosted by Epstein, including Star Wars creator George Lucas and former President Trump.

In addition, new evidence from Sjoberg against Andrew, who was known to have kept Epstein and Maxwell's company, is due to be presented in a US court this week
She answered “no” when asked whether Trump had asked her for sexual favors or whether she had ever given him a massage.
Nearly 200 names previously removed from a long-decided sex trafficking lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell have been released.
Additionally, new evidence from Sjoberg is due to be presented to a US court this week.
