Now the court will hear accusations against Jackson again. A former Jacko pal and choreographer, Wade Robson, has filed suit against the pop star’s estate.
Robson, who appeared in Jacko’s music videos as a boy, stood by him at his 2005 criminal trial in which the singer was alleged to have molested another young boy, cancer patient Gavin Arvizo.
As a defense witness, Robson said he was never molested by the pop icon — although he and his mother and sister testified that Jacko would cry if denied permission to sleep with him.
But in a court filing made public last week, Robson alleged Jacko raped him as a boy. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff has scheduled an initial hearing in the case for Oct. 6.
Several of Jacko’s former maids are expected to be called as witnesses for Robson. The maids, who worked for Jacko between 1986 and 2004, spoke to The Post on the condition of anonymity.
During the star’s 2005 child-molestation trial, Kristina Fournier, who worked for more than a decade as Jacko’s housekeeper, testified that she saw syringes strewn about the property and that Jacko, usually stoned, regularly babbled unintelligibly.
While Jacko, who died of acute propofol intoxication in 2009, battled child-molestation accusations, his mental state alarmed those he hired to care for his mansion.
“Michael was a messed-up and depraved drug addict. He was twisted,†said Maid No. 3, who recalled how Jacko’s young pals — including Robson, another accuser James Safechuck, actor Macaulay Culkin and several nephews — wreaked havoc.
