Wade Robson and James Savchuk told in detail, as the idol of millions , Michael Jackson molested them when they were kids.
In his first interview about the film «Leaving Neverland» (Neverland, the estate Jackson) men leading told CBS This Morning Gayle king, that when the attention of the stars did not seem strange to them. On the contrary, they considered themselves special.
«There was a feeling:» Of all children in the world it’s just me and Michael chose me, ‘ said Robson. — He also told me something like: «I’ve never done this with anyone else»». According to the man, he then thought: «He chooses me and loves me.»
When Robson — the choreographer who worked with such stars as Justin Timberlake and demi Lovato — described these feelings, Savchuk nodded in consent.
«All the same. He did the same to me — said Savchuk, who at the age of 8, starred in a commercial for Pepsi with Jackson. — In your head don’t hear alarm bells or similar thoughts. In fact, everything is simple: “I love this man, and we’re trying to make each other happy.” And he said I was his first. But as a kid, you don’t even realize what that means.»

Wade Robson added that the harassment continued for 7 years — from 7 to 14 years. According to the man, he began to feel a little uncomfortable when he was 12, but he never said anything.
«You worried that I would cease to be friends?» — asked the king.
«Yes,’ replied Robson. — Strangely sexual things have become safe zone».
King asked Robson to comment on why he had previously defended Jackson in the courtroom and denied any harassment.
Robson, as you know, testified at the trial in 2005, stating under oath that in his childhood he slept with the same bed with the pop star, but never sexually abused. The trial ended in acquittal. Jackson always maintained that he never molested children.
«Preparing Michael to testify began the first night when he started to harass me, — says Robson. — Immediately after the first experience of sexual abuse he began to tell me that if someone else finds out, we’ll both go to jail, both our lives will be over.»
According to Robson, Jackson molested «many» other boys. «I find it hard to believe that he was interested in boys for any other purpose than the rape,» he said.
The Jackson family called Robson and Savchuk «adventurers» and «acknowledged liar» In a recent interview with «CBS This Morning» they said that the charges of men motivated solely by money.
«The facts available to the public. I mean the fact that [Robinson] testified under oath is completely different from what he said, — said the brother of the king of pop Marlon Jackson. — We know our brother, and Michael would not have done anything like that.»
Savchuk also previously stated that Jackson never hurt him. Now he admits that if he was still alive, he probably would not dare to tell the truth.
The first news about sexual abuse by Jackson in the public eye in 1993 when he was accused of molesting 13-year-old Jordan Chandler. As a result, the singer paid the boy’s family $22 million After the death of singer Chandler admitted that he lied at the request of his father, who later committed suicide.
