Michael Jackson's team tries to block accusers from getting his genitalia and nude pics

Los Angeles, US

Michael Jackson's production company, MJJ Productions, doesn't want his accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, to access the late pop star's police records. The company filed court documents on Wednesday (April 3) in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, seeking to block Robson and Safechuck's requests, claiming they are looking to obtain "photographs of Michael Jackson’s genitalia and naked body taken by police."

The court documents reveal that these images are sealed by a court-entered protective order from the Santa Barbara Superior Court. The filing argues that allowing access to these photographs would not only invade Jackson's privacy but also violate a strict protective order agreed upon by Jackson and law enforcement.

"Beyond the invasion of privacy issues, the available records indicate the photographs Plaintiffs now seek are also subject to a strict protective order agreed to by Michael Jackson and Santa Barbara law enforcement and entered by the Santa Barbara Superior Court," the filing reads.

Robson and Safechuck, who were featured in the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, have been seeking access to these records since July 2018. In the documentary and other lawsuits, they allege that Jackson sexually molested them when they were children.

Attorneys for MJJ Productions argue that the photographs were not taken willingly by Jackson but were the result of a court-ordered search based on false statements in a discredited criminal investigation. They claim that allowing Robson and Safechuck to obtain these photographs now would add "a second defilement to the first."

Robson and Safechuck are currently suing Jackson's production company, alleging that his staff allowed their alleged abuse by him. They recently won the right to combine their lawsuits into one case, with the goal of going to trial early next year.
