Alleged Michael Jackson molestation victim Wade Robson attempts to file late lawsuit
Robson, 30, a choreographer, says the King of Pop brainwashed him so thoroughly that he was incapable of filing a lawsuit before the statute of limitations ran out. There is a one-year statute of limitations on estate claims.

The complaint states Michael Jackson had an alarm that sounded once anyone began to enter the hallway leading up to it.
The choreographer now saying Michael Jackson molested him says he should be allowed to file a late lawsuit because the King of Pop's estate shouldn’t benefit from Jackson’s wily ways, including an alarmed bedroom at Neverland ranch.
Wade Robson filed an amended complaint Monday arguing that the one-year statute of limitations on estate claims shouldn’t be a defense for the “Thriller” singer’s executors because Jackson brainwashed him into thinking their sexual relations were pure.
The updated filing cites a “clean hands” law that states “no one can take advantage” of someone’s "wrong."
“There can be no less clean hands than the hands of one who sexually abuses a child for seven years,” the new filing states.
“The long-term psychological consequences of (Jackson’s) threats, sexual trauma and mental manipulation imprisoned (Robson’s) mind and prevented him from filing a timely claim just as effectively as if he had been physically imprisoned,” the paperwork obtained by the Daily News states.
Robson previously said he wasn’t able to identify the abuse until he started intensive psychothearpy after back-to-back nervous breakdowns in 2011 and 2012.
In his highly redacted filing, Robson said the pop star invited him to Neverland Ranch in early 1990 – when Robson was 7 years old – and arranged for both Robson and his sister Chantal to sleep in his bed the first night of the extended visit.
Chantal elected to sleep on a different floor of Jackson’s two-floor bedroom the second night, and that’s when the alleged sexual abuse started, Robson states in his court declaration.
The complaint states Jackson had a security system in his bedroom that gave an audible alarm once anyone began to enter the “approximately 30-foot hallway that led to his room."
He also hung “do not disturb” signs on the room to keep people out, the complaint alleges.

Wade Robson said he didn't realize he was molested until 2012. “I did not believe that I was forced,” he said in his court statement.
Eventually, “(Jackson) began showing me explicit adult pornography in the form of magazines, books and videos,” Robson said. “He also encouraged me to call him ‘Dad,’ and he would call me ‘Son.’”
Robson said the abuse stopped only when he hit puberty and Jackson lost interest.
“From the first instance of abuse, (Jackson) began telling me that ‘we can never tell anyone what we are doing. People are ignorant and they would never understand that we love each other and this is how we show it. If anyone were to ever find out, our lives and careers would be over,’” he recalls in his statement to the court.
A lawyer for Jackson’s estate has dismissed Robson’s claims as “outrageous and pathetic.”
“This is a young man who has testified at least twice under oath over the past 20 years and said in numerous interviews that Michael Jackson never did anything inappropriate to him or with him,” lawyer Howard Weitzman previously told The News. “Now, nearly 4 years after Michael has passed this sad and less-than-credible claim has been made. We are confident that the court will see this for what it is.”
Robson, now 30, claims he did not believe he was the victim of sexual assault until 2012.
“I did not believe that I was forced,” he said in his court statement. “I believed that I was a consenting participant in the sexual acts that (Jackson) and I engaged in. I also believed that I was absolutely fine with what went on between us. My state of mind was essentially the same as when I was 11 years old and I denied any abuse.”
He said Jackson maintained contact with him until he died, even inviting Robson to some of the “This Is It” rehearsals in Los Angeles.
Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, is now suing the concert promoter behind the tour for negligence.
Robson says he was “in shock” when he heard about the superstar’s demise at the hands of his personal doctor.
“I thought his death should make me want to cry constantly, but I found it hard to cry,” he says in his filing.
