A WOMAN who had an illegitimate child by the Rev Jesse Jackson was given
money from one of the civil rights leader's charity organisations to help
her to buy a house.
Karin Stanford, 39, the mother of Mr Jackson's daughter, bought a house in
Los Angeles for £243,000 in Dec 1999, a month after receiving £23,000 from
the Citizenship Education Fund.
The fund is registered as a charity whose board members include Mr Jackson's
wife, Jacqueline, and his sons, Jonathan and Yusef. When the scandal of the
child broke last month, Mr Jackson's allies admitted that Miss Stanford had
received money from the organisation.
They gave various explanations for it, including saying that it was for
relocation expenses, redundancy and as an advance on "future consultancy
fees". A fund spokesman confirmed yesterday that the payment had been made
but said it was up to Miss Stanford what she did with the money.
