The lawyer for famed choreographer Wade Robson tells TMZ, Michael Jackson was a "monster" who sexually abused Wade for seven years as a child ... and threatened him if he ever went public.
Robson's lawyer, Henry Gradstein, tells TMZ, "Last year, on a career trajectory that was off the charts, he [Wade] collapsed under the stress and sexual trauma of what had happened to him for seven years as a child."
Robson spent many weekends with Jackson at Neverland Ranch and his other homes in L.A. and Vegas between ages 7 and 14.
Gradstein goes on ... "He [Wade] lived with the brain washing by a sexual predator until the burden of it all crushed him."
Gradstein says Michael would tell Wade, "If anyone ever finds out about what we did we will go to jail for the rest of our lives" and our lives will be ruined forever.
Gradstein tells us the threats worked, and Wade kept his mouth shut, adding, "This kind of intimidation of a child by a sexual predator is tragically characteristic and effective, keeping them quiet about the abuse - often for a lifetime."
Wade was steadfast for years that MJ did NOT molest him and indeed became Jackson's star witness at his 2005 molestation trial, adamantly denying any untoward conduct.
The lawyer says, "Michael Jackson was a monster and in their hearts every normal person knows it."
TMZ broke the story ... 30-year-old Robson has filed a creditor's claim against MJ's estate alleging the singer molested him as a child and asking for damages. Sources tell us ... Wade is claiming the reason he didn't file the claim on time is because he repressed the memories of the abuse.
Gradstein says they have not asked for any specific amount of money in their legal docs, although that's clearly the point of filing a creditor's claim. He then trashes what he calls "the Jackson money machine" which he says is "at it once again to keep the truth from coming out." But he says, "This time it won't work."
ok, what did Mike do with Billy Jean, anyway?
Sex abuse and sexual deviancy is apparently a big help for creative types out in Hollywood.
What parent is not suspicious about a grown man wanting to ‘play’ with a child at his home for years.
We aren’t talking about a guy playing catch in the front yard with the neighbor kids, because he is a Little League coach.
I often wonder if your career is pretending, then you can pretend anything you want.
It’s amazing how many MJ defenders there still are out there that think he never did anything wrong.

Are you trying to say Tom Cruise really isn’t a secret agent?
On the one hand I believe him. But on the other hand this is apparently some kind of follow the money deal ....
30-year-old Robson has filed a creditor’s claim against MJ’s estate
The money he was paid to testify before evidently has run out.
Now that the estate is raking in a lot of money..if he had molested me for years...I would sue, too.
Corey Feldman was passed around and everyone looked the other way.
One of the people from Little House on The Prairie said it was common knowledge.

Something stinks in Wade Robson’s new molestation accusations against Michael Jackson — so says MJ’s famed trial attorney Tom Mesereau, who tells us the smell leads all the way back to AEG ... the company currently being sued by Katherine Jackson.
Tom called in to “TMZ Live” moments ago, claiming the timing of Wade’s accusations is extremely suspicious — considering the legal battle currently raging between Katherine and AEG ... the concert promoters behind MJ’s 2009 “This Is It Tour.”
Katherine and Michael’s children are suing AEG, claiming the company is responsible for MJ’s death by negligently hiring Conrad Murray to care for the singer ... and potentially BILLIONS of dollars are at stake.
Mesereau insinuates Wade’s accusations are motivated by money ... specifically a payoff from AEG, which is currently on a mission to trash Michael’s reputation.
We reached out to AEG for comment — so far no word back.
that and wanting ‘sleepovers’ with said kids...
I lost a longtime black friend because I dared to make an offhand reference about Michael being a pervert a few years ago. That comment combined with my steadfast belief that O.J. is a killer was more than my friend could take.

Wade’s lawyer also mentions a psychiatrist who treated Wade — the doctor is a leader in the field of child psychology.
Interestingly ... in the 2005 molestation trial, Jackson’s former housekeeper, Blanca Francia, testified she witnessed Jackson in the shower with Wade when the boy was 8 or 9 years old.
The accusations may be true, but how convenient that they came after MJ’s death when he can no longer defend himself. When he was alive Robson defended MJ. How do the people who accused MJ during that time feel now about Robson? Repressed memories? Maybe. I just take the accusations with a grain of salt.
Trainspotting.
Most men don’t get in the shower with 8 year old boys.
