Lawsuit against Michael Jackson brought by 'Leaving Neverland' subject Wade Robson tossed out by judge

A judge dismissed a lawsuit against Michael Jackson over sexual abuse allegations detailed in "Leaving Neverland."

"There is no evidence supporting plaintiff’s contention that defendants exercised control over Jackson," the judge wrote. "The evidence further demonstrates that defendants had no legal ability to control Jackson, because Jackson had complete and total ownership of the corporate defendants." The dismissal came after the judge dismissed a similar lawsuit in October by James Safechuck. Both men made their allegations previously but they were highlighted and given renewed attention in the documentary, which premiered at Sundance before gaining wide appeal on HBO.
