Accusers Now Free To Sue Michael Jackson's Companies For Alleged Sexual Abuse
Accusers Now Free To Sue Michael Jackson's Companies For Alleged Sexual Abuse

In the 2019 documentary 'Leaving Neverland,' two men accused Michael Jackson of sexually abusing them as children.

Following a ruling made in California on Friday, the men can now sue the pop star's companies.

Wade Robson and James Safechuck tried to file a lawsuit against Jackson's companies in 2014.

However, the case was dismissed because California's statute of limitations barred childhood sexual assault accusers from filing claims after their 26th birthday.

According to Business Insider, as of January 1st, 2020, the age limit has been raised to 40.

A court of appeal has granted Robson and Safechuck permission to pursue their case.
