Nude photos of the singer

Alleged Jackson victims demand secret documents

Michael Jackson's production company is resisting the "unreasonable and oppressive" demand by the late singer's accusers to release some of his police files. These are said to include nude photos of the singer.

On Wednesday, Michael Jackson's company MJJ Productions called on the Los Angeles Superior Court to reject the subpoena issued to Wade Robson and James Safechuck in March 2024.

The two alleged victims of the singer demanded access to the documents, which contain "photographs of Michael Jackson's genitals and naked body taken by the police".

According to Page Six, Jackson's team argued that the "highly sensitive" and "private" documents in question were already "sealed by a court-issued protective order from the Santa Barbara Superior Court."

"Egregious violation" of Jackson's privacy
According to the files, the photos in question were taken in 1993 - around the same time the "Thriller" singer was accused of sexually abusing a then 13-year-old boy. The secret documents are said to contain incident reports, photos, recordings and other investigation files.

However, according to Jackson's lawyers, these are not directly relevant to the plaintiffs. "There is no legitimate justification here for plaintiffs' gross attempt to invade the privacy of a man who died nearly a decade ago and to disturb the peace of mind and tranquility of his family," they said. They called the plaintiffs' demand for the files "an egregious invasion" of Jackson's privacy.

Strong allegations of abuse
In 2013, Australian choreographer Robson accused the singer of abusing him between the ages of seven and 14. The following year, actor Safechuck also filed a lawsuit against the King of Pop, claiming that Jackson began grooming him for sex at the age of 10.

Both men, who featured in the 2019 HBO documentary "Leaving Neverland", are now suing the late singer's companies, claiming they were responsible for allowing the alleged abuse to take place. The alleged victims said Jackson's employees allegedly "witnessed the sexual abuse."

Although their initial lawsuits were dismissed several times in the past, a California judge ruled in August 2023 that they would be allowed to go to trial.
