TL;DR

Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who accused Michael Jackson of sexual abuse, have been granted permission by a California appeals court to proceed with their claims in a trial. The court ruled that Jackson's companies can be held accountable for his alleged misconduct. The allegations were detailed in the HBO documentary series "Leaving Neverland." The accusers claim that Jackson sexually abused them when they were children. The lawsuits were initially dismissed due to the statute of limitations, but a new law extended the statute for child sexual abuse allegations. The case will now go to a jury in the lower courts.
