People reports that Robson, 33, provided graphic details regarding Jackson’s alleged sexual abuse against children, including what the complaint calls “the most sophisticated child abuse procurement and facilitation operation in history”.

An alleged victim of sex abuse by Michael Jackson has put up serious allegations on MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, claiming that the late popstar’s companies worked together to entice children to his Neverland Ranch.
Wade Robson, who is now suing MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, has accused the firms of orchestrating child sex abuse on an unprecedented scale.
Robson’s amended complaint, obtained by The News, adds new negligence claims to his suit against the two companies.
Oh my gosh, super disturbing new claims have been made against the late Michael Jackson and they’re absolutely shocking.
“Make no mistake, Neverland Ranch was nothing but a well-orchestrated trap”, Robson’s lawyer Vince Finaldi told the Daily News. “It was custom-built to attract kids so he could groom them and decide which to sexually abuse”.
Previously, during a 2005 trial against Jackson, Robson had denied that he was abused in a 2005 molestation trial – which saw Jackson accused of sexually abusing 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo. The dancer alleges this is when the abuse first occurred. He also stated the 2010 birth of his son reinforced in his mind that what Jackson allegedly did to him was inappropriate.
According to the complaint, the abuse went on for seven years and stopped only when Robson “began showing signs of puberty”, after which Jackson was “no longer as interested in him sexually”. He suffered a breakdown in 2012 and in subsequent therapy sessions he claims he came to realize what had happened to him and that he had been a molestation victim for years.
At the time Jackson’s estate dismissed the claims, branding them “less than credible”.
It was Staikos who Robson’s mother contacted when the seven-year-old and his family arrived at Disneyland for a performance with his dance company.
He said there’s still plenty of time left on the five-year trial clock for any extra discovery that might be needed. In fact, his testimony was so convincing that Jackson’s former defense attorney, Thomas Mesereau, considered Robson a key witness and one of the reasons Jackson was acquitted of all charges.

MJJ Productions has not responded to the new sensational claims as of the time of writing, but the attorney for Jackson’s estate, Howard Weitzman, described the lawsuit as “outrageous and pathetic” back in 2013. “Our firm specializes in child sexual abuse litigation”.
