Evan Chandler (born Evan Robert Charmatz) (January 25, 1944 - November 5, 2009) was an American screenwriter and dentist, and was best known as accuser to pop star Michael Jackson. In 1993, Chandler accused the singer of molesting his son Jordan after his son told him of the allegations while under the influence of sodium amytal during some surgery. He also accused Jackson of other things like administering his son sedatives and alcohol, sleeping with him, and stated that Jackson was "more than friends" with Jordy, and said Jackson acted as if they were boyfriends. The 1993 molestation case ended after Jackson reached a settlement with Chandler for U.S. $20 million.
Chandler was also a screenwriter, co-writing the 1993 comedy film Robin Hood: Men in Tights.[1]
Evan Chandler committed suicide on November 5, 2009, in his luxury apartment in Jersey City, New Jersey.[2] He was 65 years old.
