Jermaine Jackson, a Jackson 5 co-founder, was ordered to pay $6.5 million in damages to Rita Barrett after failing to respond to a 2023 rape lawsuit alleging he broke into her home and assaulted her in 1988. A judge granted a default judgment in Barrett's favor after Jackson did not contest the civil case, which was pursued under California's Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act.
