judge’s rulings would be as
binding as if they were made in
a regular family court, but would
also remain private.
Rowe and Jackson were mar
ried in 1996 in Sydney,
Australia, after they announced
that Rowe, who worked as a
nurse for Jackson’s plastic sur
geon, was carrying the pop
star’s child.
She gave birth to a son.
Prince Michael, who recently
turned 7, and the couple later
had a daughter, Paris, who is 5
or 6. Jackson has a third child.
Prince Michael II, who is
believed to be
about 10 months
old, but he has not
disclosed the
identity of that
boy’s mother.
It was Prince
Michael II
Jackson made
headlines with
last year when he
dangled him from
the balcony of a
Berlin hotel for
fans to see.
The Jackson-
Rowe marriage
ended in 1999
after Rowe filed
for divorce, citing irreconcil
able differences.
In Indianapolis Tuesday, a fed
eral judge removed Jackson from
a copyright infringement suit.
The judge ruled that the
Indiana-bom entertainer had no
involvement in a disputed com
pilation of songs performed by
the Jackson 5 decades ago.
Members of a Gary-based
rhythm and blues group had
accused Jackson of misrepre
senting their work as his own
on the 1996 release “Pre-
History: The Lost Steeltown
Recordings.”
Their lawsuit accused
Jackson and the other Jackson 5
members — Tito, Marlon,
Jackie and Jermaine Jackson —
of trade-name and copyright
infringement. The four others
reached an out of court settle
ment in December.
