Fortunately, Robson received backup from Safechuck, who claimed that seeing Robson talking about the abuse on TV had refreshed his own memory, and that he was now also sure that he’d been abused.

Together, the pair filed a $1.5 billion dollar creditor’s claim and civil lawsuit against MJ’s estate. Their case was thrown out of court due to the Statue of Limitations and possible implications of perjury. But Robson & Safechuck can still appeal, and intend to.
