Shady Past Follows One Jackson Accuser
Investigative Report by: Diane Dimond (November 19th, 2004)
Transcribed by: MrFritzz
Dimond: This is what Joseph Thomas Bartucci looked like in high school - the same time his lawsuit claims Michael Jackson lured him into a limousine to take advantage of him. His suit says he was attractive to the entertainer because, due to poor health, he was short in stature and "weighed a child-like 92 pounds." But this picture of a full-faced, healthy looking teenager seems to contradict that. Louisiana attorney Jimmy Faircloth went to school with Bartucci.
Faircloth: He talks about having lots of money. Talks about being influential. Drops a lot of names. And that's part of the package that he sells.
Dimond: But, is it a truthful package? Does Michael Jackson have to fear this man? Or is he simply after Jackson's money? Here in Pineville, Louisiana and in neighboring Alexandria, Joseph Thomas Bartucci told several people he is independently wealthy; the owner of several businesses and homes, and the leader of the state-sanctioned "God, Family and Business Healing Ministries."
Dimond: But we checked. The state says the organization is not in good standing. We went to the listed address; no ministry in site. None of his listed home addresses panned out, either. One in Houston, Texas was for a street that doesn't exist. We did find a Bartucci link here, however. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Far from being wealthy, in June of 2000, Bartucci owed more than $40,000 to several creditors. And he already had had brushes with the law. This mugshot from a 1996 arrest for stalking a woman.
Lee: The man has no fiber in this - as he tells you.
Dimond: Pineville lawyer Richard Lee is currently involved in another lawsuit Bartucci filed, involving this popular locksmith franchise. Bartucci bracingly claims to own it - after having paid off in cash, the real owner's outstanding gambling debts.
Lee: He alleges that he had paid $460,000, I think it was, for the franchise. Yet he has no receipt for payment, and then when we go to take his deposition which is a statement under oath, for trial preparation, none of it fits together. I doubt it will ever go to trial.
Faircloth: He lies big. He lies grandiose. His lies are so big, their so fantastic, and he says it with a straight face. And he drops names, and he spins the embellishment so well that a normal person listens to him and thinks, "surely this is true - nobody would lie this big."
Dimond: CourtTV discovered Bartucci spends a lot of time giving depositions. Over the years, he's been sued as a defendant in nine separate lawsuits. Besides this suit he filed against Michael Jackson, he has filed at least six others including this Slip and Fall case he brought against the "Little Angles Daycare Center" where he briefly worked. His lawsuit claims he fell flat on his back in a puddle of water. Attorney Howard Nugent represents the school.
Nugent: The only problem with that was that immediately when people came in to see him there, he didn't have any water on his back. None on his feet, or anywhere on his body. And there wasn't even any water on the floor.
Dimond: CourtTV has also learned Bartucci is a bigamist. Married at least three times, he admitted in court papers he was never divorced from his first wife. The court gave wife number two an annulment based on that. Wife number three tossed him out, she told us, after she saw through his lies - including a claim that he was in line for a sixteen million dollar inheritance.
Dimond: A fourth woman who owns this house in Pineville told us, Bartucci "wooed" her, then "wowed" her when he took her to see safety deposit boxes full of money. She says he promised to pay off her home once they were married. They got the license, she put his name on the deed, but soon-after their relationship crumbled. She told us, years later she's still suing to get Bartucci's name off the deed.
Dimond: The law firm of "Faircloth & Davidson" represents another woman, a retiree, who they claim got caught up in a Bartucci-engineered insurance scam.
Faircloth: So he convinced her to sign documents which she believed would give him the right to help administer her policy. When in fact, what she signed, is essentially a donation giving him the policy that she had just paid $100,000 for. And he gave her nothing for it. No consideration.
Dimond: Ironically, Michael Jackson is not the only one Joseph Thomas Bartucci has accused of sexual misbehavior. The town is still talking about this suit filed in December of 2000 against a well-respected local reverend. A man who had taken Bartucci in when he was homeless.
Lee: "Reverend [beep] encouraged and demanded plaintiff - masturbation was necessary, in order to purify plaintiff and avoid going to hell." [Laughing], I mean, that's the main allegations in that quotation.
Dimond: And, CourtTV learned Bartucci got the reverend's insurance company to pay out an undisclosed sum to make his suit go away. That left many in town determined to avoid Bartucci at all costs.
Nugent: The word that sort of jumps out at me would be something that my poor little old papa would've used. Sharpie. Schemer.

Jackson Accuser, Accused
Investigative Report by: Jane Velez-Mitchell (November 11th, 2004)
Transcribed by: MrFritzz
Velez-Mitchell: Hope Horne, of Pineville, Louisiana, speaking exclusively to "Celebrity Justice." She says Joseph Thomas Bartucci, Jr., seen here in a mugshot, is an ex-boyfriend. And claims, long before Bartucci filed this lawsuit accusing Michael Jackson of graphic sexual molestation, she knew Bartucci was planning to take the legal action.
Horne: He told me a couple of months before that he was going to sue Mr. Jackson. I told him that he was full of it. I'm speaking out because I don't want to see this con man ruin a person that already has enough going on his plate.
Velez-Mitchell: CJ's learned that Bartucci filed another suit in 2001, accusing a Louisiana reverend of sexual molestation, claiming the minister "demanded that plaintiff's masturbation was necessary in order to purify and avoid going to hell."
Velez-Mitchell: Attorneys for both sides say that suit settled out of court with the terms confidential. Now, the lawyer for Bartucci on that case told me his client seemed truthful, but the attorney for the reverend called the suit completely meritless and said it devastated the reverend and his family.
Horne: I feel angry that he's doing this.
Velez-Mitchell: Hope says she's not shocked Bartucci's also facing a civil suit where a woman claims he used fraudulent conduct and obtained title to her insurance policy. That woman's lawyer claims Bartucci faked a convulsion during a deposition. Hope's opinion?
Horne: Joseph is a complete and total con artist.
Velez-Mitchell: Bartucci was also accused of stalking another woman in 1996 and copped a plea to harassing phone calls.
Horne: It did not shock me at all.
Velez-Mitchell: As for the Jackson case, Bartucci claims the abuse happened in 1984 when he was just 18 - and he repressed memory of it until 2003 when he saw a Court TV Jackson news special and then decided to sue.
Horne: I went to Michael Jackson's official website. I sent him and told him that this was fixing to happen. And I never heard from him.
Velez-Mitchell: Hope's theory on why Bartucci is accusing Jackson of sexual assault? And puncturing his chest with steel wire? And cutting him with a razor blade?
Horne: He's trying to make another quick buck.
