Jermaine Jackson has reportedly filed for sole custody of his two sons on the grounds that they are subject to physical abuse by their mother Alejandra, after he was notified by LA police that the children were being beaten.
Jackson, who recently claimed that he was unable to afford child support payments for his offspring, was given custody of his sons by police after a school teacher reported that one of the boys, Jermajesty, had said that his mother had been "slapping him repeatedly across the face".
The case will go to court next week. Jackson's lawyers say they are planning to allow Alejandra visitation rights, but will request that she only has supervised access.
