Appeals court seen as likely to revive 2 sexual abuse suits against Michael Jackson
CBSN
Los Angeles — A California appeals court on Wednesday will consider reviving the dismissed lawsuits of two men who allege Michael Jackson sexually abused them as children for years, a move the court appears likely to make after a tentative decision that would order the cases back to a lower court for trial.
The suits were filed after Jackson's 2009 death by Wade Robson in 2013 and James Safechuck the following year. The two men became more widely known for telling their stories in the 2019 HBO documentary, "Leaving Neverland."
Both sued MJJ Productions Inc. and MJJ Ventures Inc., two corporations of which Jackson was the sole owner and lone shareholder.
