Instead, another shadow is cast over the King of Pop's legacy. According to The Daily Beast, a man has stepped forward to make the claim that he was sexually abused by Jackson over many years.

The report states that James Safechuck appeared in a Pepsi ad with the singer in 1987 and maintained an association with Jackson in the years that followed.

It's thought that Safechuck added his name to a lawsuit filed by Wade Robson a year ago. Robson initially defended Jackson at his 2005 criminal trial, but later came forward to allege that Jackson forced him to perform sex acts.
