Michael Jackson detailed his thoughts on children in previously unheard audio

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

A new UK documentary series, "The Trial," features previously unheard audio recordings of Michael Jackson discussing his relationships with children. In the recordings, Jackson states that children are drawn to him and want to touch and hug him, which he admits sometimes causes him trouble. He also reportedly said he would kill himself if he could never see another child. The documentary, produced by Wonderhood Studios, aims to explore Jackson's 2005 acquittal on child sexual abuse charges, moving beyond the media frenzy to examine issues of fame, race, and the American justice system. Jackson was acquitted in 2005 on charges stemming from a 2003 documentary and later maintained his innocence, claiming a conspiracy against him. He died in 2009 from a propofol overdose.
