A former member of the boy band Menudo alleges in a new documentary series that the slain father of the Menendez brothers raped him when he was a child.
noted that during the trial — which captured the nation’s attention in the mid-1990s — a judge deemed all testimony of sexual abuse irrelevant and inadmissible.
“I always hoped and believed that one day the truth about my dad would come out,” Erik Menendez says in a clip from the series that aired on “Today.” “But I never wished for it to come out like this: the result of trauma that another child has suffered.”
