"As Michael Jackson saw it, children would become enamored with his personality as well as want to touch and hug him and sometimes it [got] me into trouble, the late US pop superstar says in previously unheard audio recordings contained in a new documentary. The UK's Wonderhood Studios included the recordings of Jackson voicing those thoughts for a new four-episode documentary series beginning on Wednesday that explores his acquittal on child sexual abuse charges after a 14-week criminal trial near Los Angeles in 2005."
"A promotional trailer of Channel 4's The Trial features Jackson's soft, high-pitched speaking voice asserting: Children wanna just touch me and hug me. Kids end up just falling in love with my personality sometimes it gets me into trouble, Jackson also says in the clip, after an interview subject explains that some of the things revealed on the recordings in question have no precedent. The New York Post on Saturday reported on another particularly alarming remark that those recordings captured Jackson making."
"If you told me right now Michael, you could never see another child,' I would kill myself, Jackson purportedly says on the recordings, according to the Post. Wonderhood Studios' website says the The Trial aims to step beyond the media circus that surrounded Jackson's acquittal to pose profound questions about fame, race and the American justice system. Prior to his acquittal, Jackson was charged with molesting a boy, providing a child alcohol,"
Previously unheard audio captures Michael Jackson saying children would become enamored with his personality and want to touch and hug him, and that such attention 'sometimes gets me into trouble.' The UK's Wonderhood Studios included the recordings in a new four-episode series that examines Jackson's acquittal on child sexual abuse charges following a 14-week 2005 criminal trial near Los Angeles. A promotional trailer features Jackson saying children 'wanna just touch me and hug me' and another purported remark in the recordings has him saying he would kill himself if he could never see another child. Jackson previously called the charges the lowest point of his life and asserted, 'I am completely, completely innocent.'
