Time Out
Celebrity choreographer Wade Robson has claimed that late pop icon Michael Jackson operated “the most sophisticated public child sexual abuse organisation the world has known”.
Robson made the claims in an amended complaint to his 2013 lawsuit against MJJ Productions, the late musician’s entertainment company, and MJJ Ventures. Two months ago, the choreographer brought attorney Vince Finaldi on board, who filed the motion to amend after reviewing the case file.

Currently, with the help of Finaldi, Robson seeks to add several negligence claims to the suit, arguing that MJJ companies “breached their duty to take reasonable protective measures to protect minor children in their charge.” Finaldi is also seeking to withdraw the causes of action of childhood sexual abuse, sexual battery, assault and battery and negligent infliction of emotional distress, as well as allegations regarding the estate.
A trial has been scheduled for 13 March next year.
