Appeals Court Poised to Revive Lawsuits Against Michael Jackson's Estate Alleging Child Sexual Abuse

  • Two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, allege Michael Jackson sexually abused them as children in the 1990s.
  • Lawsuits were filed against Jackson's companies but dismissed in 2021; appeals court now says they should proceed.
  • Jackson estate denies allegations and notes both men previously denied being abused by Jackson.
  • Lawsuits gained attention after release of 2019 HBO documentary "Leaving Neverland."
  • If revived, lawsuits could go to trial where estate would defend against abuse claims.
