Robson and his family testified as witnesses for the defense during
Michael Jackson's 2005
child molestation trial staunchly supporting the singer and denying allegations of wrongdoing.
[16] Following Jackson's death in 2009, Robson stated: "His music, his movement, his personal words of inspiration and encouragement and his unconditional love will live inside of me forever."
In 2013, however, Robson alleged that Michael Jackson had
sexually abused him as a child. He has since filed a lawsuit against Jackson's estate, which is currently pending.
[17] In a recent
Facebook posting, Robson wrote, "It was not the plan for this info to be made public, but now that it has, I am sharing it because it is important for these 'uncomfortable' topics to be talked about...Silence perpetuates abuse."
