HBO released the 2-part documentary on 3rd and 4th of March 2019. According to the Huffington Post, “ ‘Leaving Neverland,’ which HBO aired in two parts on Sunday and Monday, offers the Me Too era’s most detailed portrait of sexual abuse to date. In profiling two men who say Michael Jackson charmed his way into their childhoods, only to molest them repeatedly and later cast them aside, Dan Reed’s documentary shows how the alleged predator courts and manipulates vulnerable targets, leaving behind emotional wounds that are hard to mend.”
The Sauce reported in late February, the documentary that aired at the prestigious Sundance Festival made “claims that Wade Robson and James Safechuck’s visits to Jackson’s ranch “began to include overnight stays, where Jackson would sleep in the same bedroom as his young guests, away from their parents. Both Robson and Safechuck describe how what began as innocent sleepovers led to intimate contact. Robson was seven years old when the abuse started; Safechuck was 10. Soon, as Safechuck recalls painfully, nearly every ‘special’ place at Neverland was marked by a sexual encounter.”

The producer of the detailed documentary “Leaving Neverland” has made it clear that he decided to create the 2-part production to highlight the seedy details of the sexual acts between Jackson and the two young boys. Reed said in an interview on CBS In The Morning, “Jackson got away with the reputation of being abit of a child himself, being very affectionate with children. But I wanted to make sure that this was not overenthusiastic kissing or cuddling, this was sex. This was the kind of sex adults have, but he was having it with a little child. ”
Safechuck and Robson are not the only individuals to accuse Jackson of sexual abuse. In 1993, Evan Chandler, accused pop icon Michael Jackson of sexually abusing his 13-year-old son, Jordan “Jordy” Chandler. Jackson was also on trial in 2003 with claims made against him involving pornography. According to a report, the prosecution alleged that Jackson had masturbated in front of a young boy named Arvizo and tried to ply him with wine.
