A few days after reports of new allegations that Michael Jackson had anally raped choreographer Wade Robson, the former child star has spoken up about such claims on a personal Facebook post.
The documents submitted by Robson's lawyers in the ongoing case on molestation ordered that Jackson's estate declare and disclose how the late King of Pop got a young Robson into pornography and forced him to pose inappropriately, "naked, with his knees and palms extended like a don on all fours", and anally raped the seven-year-old child.

Robson posted a message on Facebook on how recent reports that have surfaced contained certain details of his sexual abuse during childhood.
It was not initially the plan for such information to be publicized; however, with each detail that is continually given away, the famed choreographer is now sharing it as he believes in the significance of discussing these "uncomfortable" issues in the society.
The former child star also mentioned how one in every four girls or one in every six boys experience sexual abuse before turning 18.
"We must face these facts and learn to prevent them in any way we can. Silence perpetuates abuse", he said.
After these statements, Robson also spoke up about the upsurge of support that he has obtained for his case since the upsetting claims have been made public. He described his feelings towards such considerable support as being "immensely moved".
"Thank you to family and friends. It means a lot to me. And it means a lot to all survivors. Love + Aloha, Wade", he concluded.
However, while his supporters accept his allegations as true, Jackson's estate has promised to counter such claims until the case is put to rest.
Howard Weitzman, the estate's lawyer, has commented that there have not been any settlement discussions with Robson. He also mentioned about not expecting to have any arrangements made in the future.
The estate has even requested for the dismissal of the former child star's molestation allegations against the late King of Pop, due to the fact that Robson had waited for a long time to file such.
In response, Robson claimed that a notice of the estate's administration should have been given to him when Jackson passed away.
