Sex Abuse Accuser Wade Robson Wants To Review Michael Jackson’s Molestation Criminal File -- King Of Pop’s Estate Legal Team Says ‘Beat It’

The estate of Michael Jackson and lawyers for sex accuser Wade Robson, are in a legal dogfight regarding the choreographer's request to have access to the late King of Pop's Santa Barbara molestation criminal file, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.
Robson, a dancer-choreographer who testified on behalf of Jackson in the singer’s 2005 sex abuse trial, changed his tune last year, claiming that Jackson allegedly molested him for seven years when he was just seven years of age.
Robson, now 31, filed a claim with the Jackson estate asking for money—but the late singer’s legal eagles say he’s waited too long to do so!
According to Robson, when he was a boy, his sister slept in another bed just feet away at Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. as the singer performed sex acts on him and forced him to reciprocate.
Now lawyers for Robson have filed blistering legal docs in response to opposition papers filed by Team Jackson over the request to review the Thriller singer's criminal file, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
According to docs filed by Robson's attorneys, the subpoenas served to Santa Barbara law enforcement "seek police reports, witness statements, and other information which directly relates to Wade Robson's allegations against Michael Jackson, and which are necessary for Wade Robson...the subpoenas are entirely relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action and reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. As such, Wade Robson is fully entitled as a matter of law to request these materials in order to support his claim."

However, Team Jackson contends in their legal documents that Robson has brought his claim too late: "petition and evidentiary hearing thereon are solely about the timeliness of Robson’s alleged creditor's claims and not about the merits of the claim. Thus, Robson is not entitled to take discovery in these proceedings in an attempt to prove the merits of his claims."
