Wade Robson — who defended Michael Jackson publicly during the singer's sex abuse scandal eight years ago — has now claimed that Jackson molested him.
The 30-year-old choreographer has appeared on "So You Think You Can Dance" and has produced dance routines for Britney Spears. He has reportedly filed a late creditor's claim against Jackson's estate for the abuse, which he claims happened during his frequent visits to Jackson's Neverland ranch starting with his casting in Jackson's video for the single "Black or White" and "Heal the World."
Robson claimed that he repressed his memories of the abuse since it occurred. His lawyer explained: "Last year […] he collapsed under the stress and sexual trauma of what had happened to him for seven years as a child. He lived with the brain washing by a sexual predator until the burden of it all crushed him."
Howard Weizman, the lawyer for Jackson's estate, dismissed his claims as "sad" and "less than credible": "This is a young man who has testified at least twice under oath over the past 20 years and said in numerous interviews that Michael Jackson never did anything inappropriate to him or with him."
