Michael Jackson faced accusations of child sexual abuse in 1993 and again in 2005. In the first case, he settled with the accuser’s family without admitting guilt. In 2005, he stood trial after a second accusation but was acquitted on all charges. Despite the legal outcomes, his reputation took a serious hit. Public opinion has remained divided, with fans supporting him and others questioning his actions. The 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland brought new attention to the allegations, leaving his legacy deeply contested and forever linked to controversy.
