Michael Jackson abused me in a bedroom with 'do not disturb' sign at Neverland, alleged victim claims
'Leaving Neverland' director Dan Reed has compared the late Michael Jackson to shamed TV host and serial abuser Jimmy Savile, saying there are parallels between the two men in their actions.
The Channel 4 and HBO documentary, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2019 and slated for broadcast in the UK and US in March, has revived the allegations of child sexual abuse against Jackson, who died in 2009.
According to the filmmaker, the 'Billie Jean' singer had "at least a dozen" child victims during his career, with many waiting to speak out.
Featuring several stories involving alleged abuse by the music icon, with one of the victims even claiming he was abused by Jackson in a bedroom with a "do not disturb" sign, the director said 'Leaving Neverland' aims to "inspire" victims of sexual abuse to come out with their stories.
