Summary: Wade Robson alleges Michael Jackson’s companies were fronts for a child sex ring.
A celebrity choreographer who once worked with Britney Spears is alleging that Michael Jackson created companies that were fronts for child sex rings.
Wade Robson sued Jackson and his companies, MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, in 2013. He said that he was sexually abused by the late singer as a child, but in May of 2015, a judge dismissed the case, saying he waited too long to file. Robson then hired attorney Vince Finaldi to amend his suit, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The suit was filed last Friday, and it stated, “MJJ PRODUCTIONS and MJJ VENTURES were held out to the public to be businesses dedicated to creating and distributing multimedia entertainment by MICHAEL JACKSON, however, in fact, they actually served dual purposes.The thinly-veiled, covert second purpose of these businesses was to operate as a child sexual abuse operation, specifically designed to locate, attract, lure and seduce child sexual abuse victims.”
According to Spin Magazine, Robson met Jackson when he was five-years-old. He won a dance competition that was run by MJJ Productions, and two years later, Robson and his family traveled to California and met with Jackson. Jackson invited the family to stay at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, and Robson shared a bed with the eccentric singer while his family stayed in a separate room. Robson said that was the first time he was abused by Jackson.

The lawsuit said that Jackson’s assistant Norma Staikos scheduled the meeting between Robson and Jackson, and in the lawsuit, Robson called her a “madam.”
Robson said that he was abused from the age of seven to 14, and that Jackson stopped abusing him when he showed signs of puberty. Robson alleged that Jackson French-kissed and penetrated him.
In 2005, Jackson faced a separate criminal case for child molestation, and Robson testified on behalf of Jackson. Robson claimed under oath that he had not been molested, but he said later that he was “brain washed” into expressing Jackson’s innocence. Robson said in 2012 he underwent therapy which brought his true memories to the surface.
Robson’s updated lawsuit is scheduled for trial on March 13, 2017.
