Late pop mega icon Michael Jackson reportedly raped a seven-year old boy for seven years, according to claims in a new documentary on the late singer.
Wade Robson – who previously sued Jackson’s estate for £1.2billion over the abuse – features in a new film Leaving Neverland where he tells his tragic story. In court filings from 2013, Robson revealed how Jackson raped him from the age of seven before “losing interest” in him when he turned 14. The lawsuit was dismissed when the judge ruled the estate of Jackson couldn’t be held responsible for the allegations made by the dancer. Leaving Neverland will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival later this month and features interviews with both accusers, who are now in their 30s.
Robson and James Safechuck are expected go into detail about how they were allegedly sexually abused by the world-famous singer when they were kids. Jackson was acquitted in 2005 of criminal molestation charges, which did not involve either Robson or Safechuck, whom he starred with in a Pepsi ad. However, Robson testified at that trial, saying he had slept in Jackson’s room many times, but the star had never molested him. Safechuck made similar statements to investigators when he was still a young boy. Then in 2013 Robson filed a lawsuit that said stress and trauma had forced him to face the truth that he was sexually abused by Jackson, who died in 2009.
