Jackson was never convicted of child sexual abuse despite facing several accusations of this crime throughout his career.
The investigations began in 1993 and continued in 2003, with the entertainer being acquitted of all criminal charges on both occasions.
Later on, in the 2010s, two men alleged that they had been molested multiple times by Jackson and filed lawsuits against his estate and companies. They later told their stories on the HBO two-part documentary Leaving Neverland.
A judge dismissed the first man’s suit because he waited too long to file his claim. Two years later, the same judge dismissed the second man’s case because the corporations couldn’t be liable for Jackson’s actions.
