James Safechuck files a lawsuit against Michael Jackson’s estate, alleging that Jackson had sexually abused him over a four-year period beginning when Safechuck was ten years old. Safechuck claimed that the abuse started after he met Jackson during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1986. He alleged that Jackson groomed him with gifts and attention, leading to incidents of sexual abuse during the singer’s 1988 “Bad” tour. The lawsuit contended that Jackson’s companies, MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, facilitated the alleged abuse by creating an environment that allowed it to occur.
May 12 : The latest sexual assault complaint, filed in court last Friday, remains sealed, but two sources close to the case revealed that the man involved is James Safechuck, who appeared in a Pepsi ad featuring Jackson in 1987 and proceeded to have a close association with the singer for several years. Safechuck has always denied that Jackson had molested him. Safechuck added his name to a suit originally filed by Wade Robson in May 2013. Robson, an Australian who is now 31, testified in Jackson’s defense at the singer’s 2005 trial, where the pop icon was found not guilty of child molestation and other charges. But later, Robson changed his mind. Last year, he alleged in a civil suit against Jackson’s estate that the singer had forced him to perform sex acts. Both Robson, who was once a top Hollywood choreographer, and Safechuck, 36, are represented by the L.A. law firm of Gradstein & Marzano. Partners in that firm declined to comment on their latest filing.
