Nucky your copy/paste of what I believe is the 1993 LA Times article, which summarizes a third-hand accounting from a UPI newswire interview, was debunked - by LaToya Jackson herself in 2011. She was forced to say those things by her husband Jack Gordon, because he knew that would attract the tabloids for more drama, and thus, more money. She never believed her brother was a child molester. Of course, LaToya Jackson has her own demons, so it's hard to tell which part of this she's telling the truth about, and which part is completely fabricated. In the first, she's supposedly telling all this - why, exactly? The only thing she stood to gain by that was money. Which she got, in spades as a result of that interview. In the second, she was interviewed in advance of her new book (new at the time, in 2011), so she stood to make money no matter what she said.
Basically, I wouldn't count on anything LaToya Jackson said, about anything, to be reliable information.
