Michael Jackson sexual abuse lawsuits on verge of revival by California appeals court

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:53:14 GMT

BY ANDREW DALTON | Associated PressLOS ANGELES  — A California appeals court on Wednesday will consider reviving the dismissed lawsuits of two men who allege Michael Jackson sexually abused them as children for years, a move the court appears likely to make after a tentative decision that would order the cases back to a lower court for trial.The suits were filed after Jackson’s 2009 death by Wade Robson in 2013 and James Safechuck the following year. The two men became more widely known for telling their stories in the 2019 HBO documentary, “Leaving Neverland.”Both sued MJJ Productions Inc. and MJJ Ventures Inc., two corporations for which Jackson was the sole owner and lone shareholder.In 2021, Superior Court Judge Mark A. Young ruled that the two corporations and their employees had no legal duty to protect Robson and Safechuck from Jackson and threw out the suits. But in a tentative decision last month, California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal reversed that judge and ordered the...

Covered California health insurance premiums will go up next year, but many consumers won’t feel it

Most states let the federal government run their marketplaces for them. But California runs its own marketplace called Covered California.Monthly premiums on plans purchased through Covered California were stable throughout the pandemic, increasing an average of just over 1% per year from 2020 through 2022 as many people delayed routine health care. But this year, rates jumped 5.6% in California as people started returning to doctor’s offices.State officials blamed next year’s increase on a variety of factors, including inflation, higher pharmacy costs and labor shor...
