Michael Jackson sex accuser pursues damages

Australian choreographer Wade Robson could learn in a Los Angeles court if he can pursue a slice of Michael Jackson’s $1.5bn estate.

Robson, once the late King of Pop’s staunchest defender, now claims Jackson was a predator who repeatedly sexually abused him as a child.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff has scheduled a hearing for Robson and another of Jackson’s alleged child victims, James Safechuck, today that could decide if their respective claims proceed.
