Michael Jackson is dead and he’s still being accused of child molestation. Dance choreographer Wade Robson just came forward saying he was one of those abused, and he wants money from Michael Jackson’s estate. In 2005, a 13 year-old boy alleged that Jackson abused him. Being a child who used to hang out with Michael Jackson, Mr. Robson was brought in as a witness and testified that when he was young Michael Jackson did not molest him, although Mr. Jackson’s housekeeper raised some doubt when she claimed that she saw an 8 or 9 year-old Robson showering with Jackson. Mr. Robson is now taking that back.
From TMZ:
Wade met Michael when he was 5 years old and they developed a friendship that lasted for years. By the time Wade was 7, he went for sleepovers at Neverland and MJ’s homes in L.A. and Vegas. The sleepovers continued until Wade was 14.
Wade even performed to a Michael Jackson song on “Star Search” when he was 8 years old.
Wade’s lawyer filed legal docs May 1 asking the judge in the Michael Jackson Estate case to allow him to file a late creditor’s claim against the Estate. In the documents, Wade’s lawyer says he submitted a never-before filed complaint “for childhood sexual abuse.”
Wade’s lawyer has filed the actual complaint under seal — which means it’s not available to the public. Sources tell TMZ … the complaint specifically outlines the alleged abuse at the hands of Michael Jackson.
Wade’s lawyer also mentions a psychiatrist who treated Wade — the doctor is a leader in the field of child psychology.
I’m not exactly sure what California’s statues of limitations on child molestation are. According to The Los Angeles Criminal Defense Blog in 2012, California “abolished the statute of limitations for aggravated rape (which among other things can require that the victim be seriously injured).” However, they also state that they were not able to abolish statute of limitations retroactively. “The current statute of limitations for filing charges of molestation against a minor is ten years” but “Molestation charges can also be brought one year from the date it is reported to the authorities regardless of when that happens, and even if the ten-year time limit has expired.” Since the complaint is sealed, I don’t know what the exact details of Robson’s case are nor do I know how he’s going to win a case against someone who’s dead, but this is why I am not a lawyer.
In 1994, a man named Evan Chandler accused Jackson of molesting his son and got $22 million in a settlement with a stipulation that his son sign a non-disclosure agreement. Then in December of 2009, the FBI released documents pertaining to this 1994 molestation case and a separate molestation case in 2005. You can read all 333 pages of it here.
sketchy dude. nope. not buyin’ this one. maybe he can’t afford his upcoming hair plug operation & had to resort to this? whatever. shoo, fly. the man is dead & you had your chance.
I agree with pikki Nikki polka pants, He had his chance countless time and to wait until the man is dead, No something isn’t right! He’s looking for a way to come up. Tell him to get lost!!!!
Catherine, please tell me you meant “statute of limitations”
Isn’t anyone tired of this Chaz guy ? Why does he feel the need to point out people’s mistakes ? Is it really that important ? We all know what she meant . He must get some joy out of it . I thought we came to read gossip not have the grammar police be on patrol . It’s clear he has no life :( every time I come on he’s correcting someone . Wtf .
You’d be amazed how many people don’t know the difference. I would, however, expect someone who gets paid to write, to do so properly. Btw, the yankees suck ass and its obvious you’re an emoticon using, bag of dicks.
Really ? Why so angry ? does it make you feel good to act like a fool and call people names ? You are nobody and that’s why you hide behind your computer and run off with your mouth because a normal person would never act the way you do and if they did they wouldn’t have a tooth left in their head . So you are safe trolling . You must not have one single friend . Btw you don’t write that girls check so it really shouldn’t effect you to the point that you feel the need to point it out , just shows you have no life :( does it make you feel better about your sorry ass life to point out other people’s mistakes ? You act like your reading a doctors manual where everything needs to be exact ,it’s a fucking gossip site for god sakes , get real .
