It's the second time the lawsuits have been brought back after dismissal.
Michael Jackson Sexual Abuse Lawsuits Revived by Appeals Court
The higher court judges disagreed, writing that “a corporation that facilitates the sexual abuse of children by one of its employees is not excused from an affirmative duty to protect those children merely because it is solely owned by the perpetrator of the abuse.” Steinsapir had argued for the defense in July that it does not make sense that employees would be legally required to stop the behavior of their boss.
Steinsapir said evidence that has been gathered in the cases, which have not reached trial, showed that the parents had no expectation of Jackson’s employees to act as monitors. The judges did not rule on the truth of the allegations themselves. That will be the subject of a forthcoming jury trial in Los Angeles.
