Actor Mickey Rooney accuses lawsuit stepson Christopher Aber

ACTOR Mickey Rooney accuses his stepson and others of abusing him and stealing his income in a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The lawsuit accuses the 90-year-old actor's stepson Christopher Aber of elder abuse, fraud and other crimes.

The documents allege Aber fraudulently took control of all Rooney's income, including his Social Security cheques, which typically amounted to $US12,000 ($11626) a month.

Aber is also accused of applying for and using credit cards in Rooney's name to lead an extravagant lifestyle.
