Jackson hung out at Safechuck’s modest suburban home and courted Robson from afar with daily phone calls. As the two men tell it, both cases began with extensive grooming. (He’s now 40.) Raised in Brisbane, Australia, 36-year-old Robson taught himself dance moves that earned him an audience with the King of Pop when he was only five. A child actor in California, Safechuck starred opposite Jackson in a Pepsi commercial at age eight. Even more indelible is the way director Dan Reed ( Three Days of Terror: The Charlie Hebdo Attacks) and his two disarmingly open subjects demonstrate how complicated the relationships between young victims and their abusers can be-and how they can poison the child’s life regardless.Īs kids, James Safechuck and Wade Robson had three things in common: creativity, talent and moms determined to make the most of those gifts.
The two-part film, which airs March 3-4 on HBO, offers damning evidence to support the longstanding child molestation accusations against Michael Jackson. It’s a relief, then, that Leaving Neverland makes the plight of survivors paramount.
