A lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court showed the founding member of the Jackson 5 was sued by Rita Barrett, who claimed Jermaine forced his way into her home and assaulted her in 1988. According to the legal documents, Rita asserted she knew Jermaine, now 69, for several years before the alleged sexual assault took place due to "professional and personal connections." The papers stated that her husband, Ben Barrett, worked closely with Berry Gordy, whom she believed was "in a business and/or management relationship" with Jackson at the time of the alleged assault.
