An alleged victim of Michael Jackson is claiming the pop star ran “the most sophisticated child sex abuse operation” in the world.
Wade Robson, a celebrity choreographer, met the King of Pop when he was five years old and claims he was abused in a new complaint filed against MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures.
“The thinly-veiled, covert second purposes of these businesses was to operate as a child sex abuse operation,” said Robson's lawyer, Vince Finaldi.

The 33-year-old claims Norma Staikos, who was Michael’s assistant, was the head of the operation.
The dancer met the father of three after winning a dance competition in Australia and was invited to stay at Neverland Ranch while on a trip to Disneyland.
Wade says he slept in the superstar’s bed and was sexually abused. This went on for nearly seven years, according to The Hollywood Reporter,

The abuse went on until Wade started “showing signs of puberty.”
“(Staikos) would call parents and say, "Hey, he wants to meet you, come down to the ranch,” Vince told the New York Daily News.
“It was custom-built to attract kids so he could groom them and decide which to sexually abuse.”
The So You Think You Can Dance judge initially denied the abuse claims, but sued Michael’s estate four years after his death.
