The late Michael Jackson’s “allegations of sexual assault” will be considered by the Supreme Court in February next year.

The U.S. Supreme Court of California is set to deliberate next February on the sexual abuse allegations against the now-deceased “King of Pop” Michael Jackson. The U.S. Radar Online reports.

Wade Robson, now 41, claims that he was invited to Michael’s famous Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, when he was 7 years old and was sexually abused by Michael while Michael’s sister, Janet Jackson, slept in a bed nearby.

Ms. Robson gained attention for her claims of sexual abuse in the HBO documentary film “Leaving Neverland” (’19), which featured allegations of Michael’s sexual abuse.

Michael’s family denied the allegations, but Ms. Robson filed a lawsuit against MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, Michael’s estate’s management organization. The case was lost in ’21 when Ms. Robson’s suit was dismissed, but in August the California Court of Appeals drew attention when it dismissed the first trial court’s ruling and ordered a restoration of the case” (women’s magazine reporter).

Michael’s foundation appealed this decision to the California Supreme Court. Judge Mark A. Young decided to hear the case on February 28, ’24. He is expected to deliberate on whether the Court of Appeal’s ruling is appropriate.

Ms. Robson claimed that Michael’s sexual abuse continued for seven years. According to court documents, Michael told Ms. Robson,

“People are ignorant and will not understand that we are in love with each other. If anyone ever found out, our lives and careers would be over.”

He said that he had said this.
