US EditionMichael Jackson sexual abuse lawsuits revived by appeals court
- A California appeals court has revived lawsuits from two men who accused Michael Jackson of sexual abuse when they were boys. The court found that the lawsuits should not have been dismissed by a lower court and that the men can claim that Jackson's corporations had a responsibility to protect them.
- This is the second time the lawsuits have been revived after dismissal, and the men gained more visibility by sharing their stories in the HBO documentary "Leaving Neverland". The judge who dismissed the suits in 2021 argued that the corporations could not be expected to provide protection like the Boy Scouts or a church.
