In May of 2013, Australian-born choreographer/dancer Wade Robson came forth with a claim that the late Michael Jackson had sexually abused him as a child. The now 30-year-old Robson went on national television, calling (http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/16/showbiz/jackson-sex-accuser) Jackson a "pedophile and a child sexual abuser" during a 'Today' show interview with Matt Lauer.
In the past, Robson had praised Michael Jackson as a "kind human being," so why did he decide to come forth with the accusations years later? Was this a case of repressed memory? He says no, that he's just now able to grasp what Jackson allegedly did to him. During Jackson's 2005 child molestation trial, Robson defended the late pop icon.
It should be noted that Wade Robson is seeking (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/wade-robson-today-michael-jackson-performed-sexual-acts-article-1.1345689) money from Michael Jackson's estate, and attorneys for the estate have called Robson's claims "outrageous and sad."
