According to the NME, the Michael Jackson Community, the MJ Street, and On The Line fan clubs are taking legal action in France against Wade Robson, 26, and James Safechuck, 41, for "sullying his memory" and "lynching" the late pop singer. The groups reportedly "want to discredit the accusations of paedophilia".
The singer's reputation has been seriously affected by the Leaving Neverland documentary by Dan Reed, in which Robson and Safechuck claimed they were sexually abused by Jackson when they were children.
