of their former RCA Record exec father\u2019s long-term sexual molestation of the youngest brother.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors contended at the time that there was no evidence of any molestation and argued the sons were after their parents\u2019 multimillion-dollar estate.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The siblings\u00a0have long

Betrayed,\u201d aired allegations that their father had sexually assaulted a former underage member of the 1980s boy band Menudo.<\/p>\n<p>Lyle and Erik argued the new evidence lends credibility to
