Former Menudo singer Roy Rosselló recently accused former RCA Records VP and murder victim José Menendez of drugging and raping him as a child in the new Peacock docuseries 'Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed.'
The infamous 1989 double murder case is back in the spotlight thanks to a shocking new rape allegation revealed in Peacock's Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed.
While prosecutors painted Lyle and Erik Menendez as spoiled, self-serving liars who killed their own parents to inherit their millions, the defense argued they were traumatized victims of sexual abuse who feared for their lives.
Lyle and Erik Menendez were sentenced to life in prison for killing their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion more than 30 years ago. Today, a new generation thinks they didn't get a fair trial.
“The parents were as much on trial as Lyle and Erik Menendez were on trial and why the prosecution tried to stick to a just the facts ma'm narrative. The defense strategy was emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion," a former Los Angeles Times reporter said of the sensational nature of the case.
