Menendez Brothers' Docuseries Unveils Shocking Rape Allegations.

The chances of the Menendez brothers getting a new trial based on Menudo member Roy Rosselló's accusation that their father, Jose Menendez, sexually assaulted him are remote, according to criminal defense lawyer Alan Jackson. While the defense team may try to present it as new evidence, it is unlikely to change anything for Lyle and Erik, who were convicted in 1996 of murdering their parents. The accusation is not directly connected to the evidence pointing to the brothers murdering their parents with shotguns, and they are serving life sentences.

Menudo Member Alleges Rape by Menendez Brothers' Father.

A former member of the 1980s boy band Menudo, Roy Rosselló, has alleged that he was drugged and raped by José Menendez, the father of the Menendez brothers who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1996. The allegations were made in an upcoming Peacock docuseries called "Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed," which also reveals new allegations of sexual assault against the Menendez brothers' father. The defense argued that the brothers killed out of fear after threatening to expose their father for years of sexual abuse. Testimony of sexual abuse was deemed inadmissible in the deciding trial, but the new allegations could provide a "glimmer of hope" for the Menendez brothers to be freed.

Menudo member alleges rape by Menendez brothers' father.

Former Menudo member Roy Rosselló alleges in the upcoming Peacock docuseries Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed that he was sexually assaulted by Jose Menendez, the father of the Menendez brothers who were convicted of murdering him and their mother in 1996. Rosselló also alleges that one of Menudo's former managers, Edgardo Diaz, sexually abused him during his time with the group. Rosselló and other former Menudo members have previously alleged rampant abuse and assault during their time with the group. It's unclear if Rosselló's allegations will have any impact on efforts to secure a new trial for Lyle and Erik Menendez.
