Suits filed by James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who allege Jackson abused them as children, have been brought backTwo lawsuits filed against Michael Jackson accusing him of sexual abuse have been revived by the appeals court in California. James Safechuck and Wade Robson, the focus of last year’s documentary Leaving Neverland, allege Jackson abused them when they were children. The trial court originally dismissed their lawsuits as they had not been filed before the pair turned 26. Safechuck and Robson had also tried to sue the Jackson estate, but those suits were also dismissed because of the statute of limitations. Finaldi said it was important to target the companies as “these people that surrounded him … enabled and facilitated this abuse”.
