The California Court of Appeal ruled that Wade Robson and James Safechuck have a legal case that will be tried against MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures in the lower courts
The two alleged victims featured in the bombshell four-hour HBO documentary sexually molested them when they were children — will have their case tried against the late King of Pop's companies in front of a jury in the lower courts, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
The ruling obtained by PEOPLE details Robson and Safechuck's claims that Jackson molested them after the megastar befriended the two on separate occasions in the late '80s and early '90s. They are suing the Jackson corporations together and will eventually have a set court date, so long as the defense doesn't take the case to the Supreme Court .
Boyer then paused a moment before continuing: "These are children. The idea that there is no responsibility to do anything ignores the context. Their dependence and vulnerability are implicit in their age. In a case of an affirmative duty to protect children from sexual abuse, we do require that the employees of the entity take those steps. At the heart of what we are talking about is the sexual abuse of children, which is something we need to protect against.
Mariano Quindoy, the estate manager at Neverland — a ranch at Jackson's estate with a fully functional amusement park — started working there in 1989 for a year and claims to have witnessed "several incidents of suspicious activity," according to the complaint, including watching "Jackson put his hand down the front of Safechuck's shorts while the two were in the jacuzzi." Safechuck also alleges that Jackson abused him "hundreds of times in various locations.
"There is no evidence that Robson's parents were instructed by corporate employees to sleep only in guest quarters, no evidence that he was allegedly molested at a recording studio controlled and staffed by the corporations. I also want to make clear that every assertion in there by witnesses are allegations — they are not proof, and if this tentative [ruling] holds, we believe they will not be proven because they are not true.
