The sister of Michael Jackson's accuser testified she once accused her own father of molesting her, imprisoning her and making terrorist threats claims similar to those the family has lodged against the pop star.

The teenager returned to the stand Friday for a second day of giving testimony in Jackson's child molestation trial.

"It was a horrible experience to find out … that he had done that to me when I was young," the young woman said of her father, who is now divorced from her mother.

She told jurors she learned from her mother that she had been sexually abused.

"When you were interviewed by police (for the Jackson case) you never told them your father molested you," defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. said.

Her reply: "They weren't asking me about that and I was very young."

Mesereau's cross-examination was intended to show that the family has a history of making allegations of mistreatment. The lawyer also asked about a lawsuit the family brought against J.C. Penney claiming abuse, but the young woman said she wasn't present during that incident and didn't know the details.

The young woman spend much of her time on the witness stand Friday watching a video of herself, her mother and two brothers praising Jackson as a father figure who rescued them from poverty and helped cure her brother of cancer.

"God worked through Michael to help us," the mother of the accuser said in the video played for the jury. "When we saw no hope, Michael said there was hope. … We were broken and Michael fixed us."

The video was shown to Jackson's jury at the end of the trial's first week of testimony, and as the pop star left court for the weekend he commented to reporters: "It went very good, it went very good."

Jackson denies the charges of molestation and Mesereau has portrayed the accuser's family as greedy con artists who traded on the son's cancer to solicit money from many celebrities .

District Attorney Tom Sneddon showed the video. Mesereau had promised to show it if the prosecution didn't.
