Two men have come forward to BBC to reveal that they were s**ually abused by Michael Jackson when they were young boys.

Wade Robson, who is now 36 years old, told the Victoria Derbyshire programme that the singer had s**ually abused him from the age of seven and attempted to rape him when he was 14.

James Safechuck, 40, also spoke out in the documentary Leaving Neverland, claiming that Jackson had s**ually abused him “from the age of 10 until around 14”.

Both Mr Robson and Mr Safechuck agreed that the abuse had occurred “hundreds and hundreds of times” when asked about it.

Mr Robson said that every time he stayed the night with Jackson, the singer would abuse him.

Jackson would fondle him and even made him watch while he performed a s** act.

When he was 14, Jackson tried to rape him.

Mr Robson explained that Jackson had groomed him to believe that they “loved each other – and this is how we show our love.”

However, he immediately followed that up with a threat of what would happen if anyone found out what they were doing.

Mr Safechuck’s abuse began with Jackson teaching him how to perform a s** act when he was only ten years old.

This was followed by further s**ual abuse and other s** acts.

Mr Safechuck said that Jackson was able to abuse him for such a long time because the singer had successfully groomed his parents.

He inserted himself into their family and made himself part of it.

It took him a while to build trust, but he eventually isolated Mr Safechuck from everyone else.

Both men described Jackson as a “master manipulator.”

Mr Robson said that Jackson had driven a wedge between himself and his father, which made it easier for the abuse to occur.

He believes that part of the responsibility for the abuse should fall “at the door of all the other people, all the other employees that were around Michael and me and James [Safechuck] all the time, who looked the other way.”

Jackson’s family has denied all claims, saying there is “not one piece of evidence” to prove them.

In response to the documentary Leaving Neverland, Jackson’s brothers Tito, Marlon, and Jackie, and nephew Taj Jackson rejected the allegations that the singer had abused children.

Taj stated that his uncle’s behavior had seemed odd to some but had been “very innocent.”

Marlon said that there was “not one piece of evidence” to back up the allegations.

The Michael Jackson estate also issued a statement, saying that Mr Robson and Mr Safechuck had previously testified under oath that these events never occurred.

The estate claims that they have provided no independent evidence and absolutely no proof in support of their accusations, which means the entire film hinges solely on the word of two perjurers.

The documentary Leaving Neverland, which was broadcast in the UK last week, has caused controversy and divided opinions.

It portrays Jackson as a paedophile who used his fame and power to groom and abuse young boys.

However, there are still many fans who refuse to believe that their idol was capable of such heinous acts.
