Michael Jackson’s body could be exhumed after 11 new accusers have allegedly come forward, according to reports.
The 50-year-old singer died from a prescription drug-induced heart attack in 2009, and according to Radar Online, his ‘accusers’ believe DNA samples would prove he was a “serial molester who abused prepubescent, disabled and terminally ill children over three decades”.
“There are at least 11 new victims who claim they were molested and even raped by Jackson when they were between the ages of seven and 14 – and the list is growing,” an insider told the US website.
The claims come as Jackson’s family gears up for a £80 million fight against the explosive new Channel 4/HBO documentary, Leaving Neverland.
The first trailer for Leaving Neverland was released this week ahead of its air date in March.
In the four-hour special, which will be aired over two days, Jackson’s former child companions Wade Robson and James Safechuck allege he groomed them and sexually abused them before casting them aside for other boys.
The trailer begins with a picture of Michael and Wade Robson as a child.
Speaking as an adult, he says: “Him talking to me, ‘You and I, we were meant to be together and this is how we show our love’.”
He looks tearful as the camera focuses on his face.
An aerial shot of Neverland is then shown as another accuser James Safechuck says: “Everybody wanted to meet Michael or be with Michael and you’re just star-struck, and then he likes you.”
Claims that the King of Pop groomed, molested and brutally raped a number of underage boys are among the shocking accusations made in the programme.
Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine Jackson has denied all the allegations made and the late singer’s estate has confirmed plans to sue the documentary makers – branding the programme “an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in.”
Leaving Neverland will air on Channel 4 in two parts, on March 6 and March 7, starting at 9pm each night.
