Jacko Accuser Used Same Shrink From Decade Ago
Michael Jackson's accuser — or at least the child's mother — went "shrink shopping" last winter. The result was that the psychiatrist who wound up reporting Jackson to the police as a potential child molester this time was the same one who pointed the finger at him 10 years ago.
Sources tell me that the mother of the 12-year-old boy in the current case took her son to see Dr. Mathis Abrams, a noted Beverly Hills psychiatrist, on the advice of attorney Larry Feldman.
Not so coincidentally, Feldman and Abrams were the lawyer and doctor who represented the 13-year-old boy who was involved in a similar case with Jackson in 1993.
"They went shrink shopping," a source tells me, "until they found the answer they wanted to hear."
I'm told the family saw at least one other psychiatrist before it settled on Abrams.
They also went "attorney shopping," apparently. Feldman was brought into the case — as this column was first to report back on Nov. 19 — by one lawyer, William Dickerman, who may have been called in by a third person. Neither Dickerman, Abrams nor Feldman returned calls yesterday.
Abrams, by the way, is considered a shrink to the stars. Among his former patients is eternally troubled bad-boy actor Mickey Rourke. Considering that the family of Jackson's accuser is notably described as being too poor to afford regular medical help for their cancer-stricken son, it's interesting that the boy wound up on such an expensive couch.
This revelation that the family sought the team that ended up with a $20 million settlement in 1993 comes on the heels of a disturbing revelation yesterday on the Web site The Smoking Gun.
The Smoking Gun posted a report from the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services that concluded during an investigation last February that there had been no abuse by Jackson.
The report is a summary, issued on Nov. 26, of the findings last February and which was clearly ordered after the Jackson arrest on Nov. 21.
Even though the report may be used in court, it does not actually clear Jackson in the current case. If the prosecution is on the ball, it will be able to show that reports such as these — conducted by social workers easily swayed by affluent or famous people — are often inaccurate.
Nevertheless, the embarrassment factor for Santa Barbara District Attorney Tom Sneddon has to be huge at this point. Did he even know such a report existed when he launched his pre-dawn raid on Neverland? And how cynical is the public at this point about Sneddon's role in this case?
As one Jackson insider said yesterday: "Robert Blake is on home arrest, Phil Spector is out on a million dollars' bail. And those are murder cases. Three million dollars' bail and a public arrest for Michael Jackson? What's really going on here?"
