14 years after Michael Jackson’s death, he is again on trial for sexual harassment.

Fourteen years after the death of Michael Jackson, the California Court of Appeals accepted a crash in a process that was archived and reopened sexual assault lawsuits against the singer brought by Wade Robson and James Safechuck, the protagonists of the Leaving Neverland documentary. Los Angeles Times.

Since the artist died 14 years ago, on June 25, 2009, MJJ Productions Inc., the company that previously managed his assets, will be in the dock.

Wade Robson sued Michael Jackson in 2013, alleging that the singer raped him for about 10 years. The choreographer met the artist when he was five years old after winning a competition organized by MJJ Productions in Australia.

James Safechuck, 45, filed a complaint against MJJ Productions Inc. and MJJ Ventures Inc. in May 2014, the Claims were dismissed due to the statute of limitations, but changes in the law during the time of appeal made the Claims legal and the cases returned to the courts.

Safechuck claims he met the singer in the late 1980s, when he was nine years old, while filming a Pepsi commercial. After meeting, the singer began to write and contact the child. According to the victim, Michael Jackson offered him gifts, money, invited him to dinner and took him to concerts and vacations. James was taken along with his mother on a six-month tour of the artist.

According to the lawsuit, James Safechuck was repeatedly instructed to “deny everything” and sworn to secrecy. When he was about 12 years old, Jackson began to lose interest in the underage.

A 35-page judgment, if it becomes final, could lead to rulings in cases that drag on for years. This is the second time the appellate court has taken steps to reopen cases.
