Michael Jackson, leaving the Santa Barbara County courthouse during his 2005 criminal trial. Carlo Allegri/Getty Images. Updated on March 15 at 1 p.m. ET. The two-part documentary Leaving Neverland , which began airing on HBO on Sunday night, tells the story of two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who accuse Michael Jackson of having sexually abused them for years, beginning when they were respectively about seven and 10 years old. Michael Jackson's estate continues to deny all allegations, as the entertainer did in his lifetime. His estate has sued HBO for distributing the Dan Reed-directed documentary, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January; in its filings, the estate called Leaving Neverland a "posthumous character assassination." It's no secret that, before and even after his death in 2009, Jackson was the subject of multiple sexual abuse accusations and police investigations as well as civil and criminal lawsuits. This timeline lays out key dates, known allegations and the main accusations the artist and his estate have faced, going back more than a quarter century. December 1986: James Safechuck meets Michael Jackson on a Pepsi ad set. A 10-year-old California boy, James (Jimmy) Safechuck, is hired to appear in a Pepsi commercial alongside Michael Jackson. In Leaving Neverland , Safechuck says that Jackson befriended him and his family after the ad began airing, that the singer was immediately generous to him and allegedly began lavishing him with gifts — including, Safechuck says, his jacket from the "Thriller" video. Safechuck and his family also say that Jackson began flying them for visits and on vacations. On one such trip to Hawaii, Safechuck alleges, Michael Jackson first asked the boy to sleep with him in his bed. August 1993: Los Angeles police begin investigating Jackson. The Los Angeles Times reports that the LAPD has begun investigating Jackson based on allegations that he possibly molested four children, including a 13-year-old boy. (The boy is mentioned by name and in photos in Leaving Neverland .) The police find no incriminating evidence at Jackson's Neverland ranch, nor at his Los Angeles condominium. In a lengthy report published the following January, Vanity Fair — calling the boy "Jamie" — publishes the 13-year-old and his family's allegations. The boy's lawyer tells the magazine, "Michael was in love with the boy." The family says that Jackson argued with Jamie's mother about sleeping in the same bed with him, saying, according to Vanity Fair , "Why don't you trust me? If we're a family, you've got to think of me as a brother. Why make me feel so bad? This is a bond. It's not about sex. This is something special." From that point onwards, the family claims, Jamie slept with Jackson nearly every night for the next several months. September 1993: One family files suit against Jackson. In the filing, a family — whose child is ostensibly the 13-year-old boy referred to as "Jamie" by Vanity Fair — alleges that Jackson had "repeatedly committed sexual battery" on their son. Jackson's team maintains that the suit is part of an attempt to extort the star for $20 million. More than a decade later, however, Court TV reveals in a 2004 report that Jackson settled the suit for even more than that. As part of the settlement, the singer denied any "wrongful acts." In September 1994, prosecutors announce that they are not filing criminal charges against Jackson involving three boys — because the "primary alleged victim" declined to testify. In the course of the investigation and ensuing civil case, Jackson and his team put various young boys on the witness stand and in front of cameras. One is 10-year-old Wade Robson, an Australian boy who first met the megastar five years earlier, when he won a Michael Jackson dance contest in Brisbane. Within a few years, Robson had moved with his mother to Los Angeles with Jackson's encouragement. In 1993, Robson's mother talked to CNN about her child's "slumber parties" with the singer. "They play so hard, they fall asleep, they're exhausted," she tells the interviewer. "There's nothing more to it than that." In Leaving Neverland , Robson says: "I was excited by the idea of being able to defend him. And being able to save him." December 1993: La Toya Jackson says that abuse allegations are true. On Dec. 8, at a press conference held while on tour in Tel Aviv, Jackson's estranged sister La Toya alleges that the abuse accusations against Michael are true. "This is very difficult for me," she says. "Michael is my brother. . But I cannot, and I will not, be a silent collaborator of his crimes against small, innocent children." She claims that their mother, Katherine Jackson, has shown her checks that Michael allegedly made out to the families of some very young boys, at least one allegedly as young as nine years old. She says that the amounts paid out were substantial, though she doesn't specify any sums. LaToya Jackson also repeats her claim that she and her siblings were abused, including sexually abused, by their parents. It's an assertion she first made at least two years earlier in her 1991 autobiography La Toya: Growing Up in the Jackson Family . Other members of the family, including Katherine Jackson, rally to Michael's defense. The Washington Post quotes Katherine as saying, "La Toya is lying and I'll tell her to her face she's lying," adding that her daughter was "trying to make money off of [Michael's] downfall." In a follow-up interview with the Today show's Katie Couric, La Toya Jackson claims that their mother had shown her such checks as early as "around '84." However, she tells Couric she can't prove that the alleged checks were meant as hush money, nor has she ever seen him in bed with a boy herself. In 2011, in a second autobiography called Starting Over , La Toya Jackson retracted her allegations against both her brother Michael and her father Joe, saying that she was forced to make them by her husband at the time, whom she accused of being abusive. "My family and Michael knew that wasn't really me talking," the Daily Beast quotes her as saying in an interview. "I never believed for a minute my brother was guilty of anything like that." February 2003: Living with Michael Jackson documentary airs in the U.K. and U.S. The documentary, reported by journalist Martin Bashir, includes footage of Jackson holding hands with and cradling a young teenager, then identified as a cancer survivor, and says that they share a bed. Both Jackson and the boy deny that anything untoward is going on. "My greatest inspiration comes from kids," Jackson says to Bashir indignantly, while holding onto the child. "It's all inspired from that level of innocence, that consciousness of purity." After the documentary airs, Jackson issues a statement denying any wrongdoing, and says that he is "devastated" by Bashir's portrayal of him. Nevertheless, Living with Michael Jackson sparks a criminal investigation. November 20, 2003: Police book Jackson on child molestation charges.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office provided this mug shot after he was booked on multiple counts of child molestation in November 2003. Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office/Getty Images. Two days after raiding Neverland, Jackson's famous ranch in Santa Barbara County, Calif., the sheriff's office arrests Jackson on charges of child molestation, but does not immediately disclose details of the charges or identify the victim. Jackson's lawyer, Mark Geragos, calls the charges "a big lie." After posting $3 million in bail the same day and surrendering his passport, Jackson is allowed to go free as he awaits trial. Jackson is eventually indicted on 10 criminal counts, including child molestation, abduction, false imprisonment and extortion. February 28, 2005: Jackson's criminal case goes to trial. After being charged in late 2003 and then given additional charges the following April, Jackson is put on trial. The victim is identified as Gavin Arvizo, the young man who appeared in the Bashir documentary; he is among those who testify at the trial. Among those testifying in Jackson's defense are actor Macaulay Culkin and Wade Robson. (By 2005, Robson is a noted choreographer and songwriter, who has created dance routines for the likes of Britney Spears and 'NSYNC, and who has already had his own show on MTV.) They are described as "special friends" of Jackson who have slept with the singer in his bed. The men deny that Jackson has touched them or otherwise acted inappropriately. According to The Washington Post , Robson's mother, Joy, says of the singer: "Unless you know him, it's hard to understand him. . He's not the boy next door." Gavin Arvizo is now aged 14, and says on the stand that Jackson masturbated him; Gavin's brother corroborates his claim, and says that Jackson gave them alcohol and showed them pornography. Gavin's mother, Janet Arvizo, also appears as a witness; the BBC describes her testimony as "combative and rambling." A former member of Jackson's household staff, Blanca Francia, testifies that she saw the singer taking a shower with Robson. Francia's son also alleges that Jackson has molested him. Years later, Robson claims he lied at the 2005 trial. According to a 2014 Daily Beast article, prosecutors wanted to name Safechuck — who had provided a witness statement defending Jackson in the 1993 suit — as one of the singer's alleged victims. However, Safechuck declined to participate in the 2005 trial, and the prosecution excluded him as a potential victim. Safechuck claims later that he had lied in the statement he gave to prosecutors in the 1993 investigation. June 13, 2005: Jackson is acquitted of all criminal charges. After a trial that had a circus-like atmosphere and whose proceedings seemed to sometimes be upstaged by Jackson's antics (including showing up late in pajamas on one occasion), the singer is acquitted of all charges. At least some of the jurors seem to place the onus on the alleged victim's mother, Janet Arvizo. according to NPR. Allowing a child to sleep with any non-family member, one of the female jurors asks, according to NPR, "What mother in her right mind would allow that to happen?" Within months, prosecutors charge Janet Arvizo with fraud and perjury related to statements made at the Jackson trial; she accepts a plea agreement the following year. June 25, 2009: Michael Jackson dies, age 50. The singer is found unresponsive at his home in Holmby Hills, Calif. At the time of his death, his family releases a statement saying that it is believed that he died of cardiac arrest. On Nov. 11, 2011, a doctor, Conrad Murray, is found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death for having administered a deadly dose of the anesthetic propofol. During the trial, the New York Times reports that Murray, who had been hired as Jackson's personal physician, "had stayed with Jackson at least six nights a week and was regularly asked — and sometimes begged — by the insomniac singer to give him drugs powerful enough to put him to sleep." 2013-2014: Wade Robson and James Safechuck file suits against the Jackson estate and his companies. The Daily Beast reports in 2013 that after very publicly and repeatedly defending Jackson, Robson now says that Jackson sexually molested him for seven years. Two years later, in May 2015, a judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Mitchell L. Beckloff, dismisses Robson's suit against the estate, saying that he waited too long to file his claim. In December 2017, the same judge dismisses the rest of Robson's suit, filed against Jackson's two companies, MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, because the two corporations could not be found liable for Jackson's alleged behavior. Notably, neither of these judgments address the credibility of Robson's accusations. James Safechuck files a similar suit against MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures in 2014, alleging that Jackson abused him on "hundreds" of occasions between 1988 and 1992. Beckloff, who is also the presiding judge in this suit, rejects Safechuck's suit in June 2017 on the same grounds he gave Robson. Movie Interviews. 'Neverland' Director On Investigating 'What Happened Once The Bedroom Door Closed' March 3, 2019: Leaving Neverland begins airing on HBO. After debuting at Sundance in late January, the two-part, four-hour documentary begins airing. Jackson's estate has already filed suit against the network, claiming that damages could exceed $100 million. Its petition begins: "Michael Jackson is innocent. Period." The estate also argues that HBO has violated a non-disparagement agreement that it made with the singer in order to air a concert special, Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour , back in 1992. (That program was a megahit when it aired, scoring HBO its highest-rated special ever at that time.) In a bid for positive counter-programming, Jackson's estate releases the 1992 film on YouTube at the same time as Leaving Neverland 's broadcast premiere. "In producing this fictional work," the suit continues, "HBO ignored its contractual obligations to Michael and his companies by disparaging both him and the Dangerous World Tour that HBO had previously profited from immensely." The estate also calls Robson and Safechuck "two admitted perjurers," and accuses them of "practicing their stories and rehearsing their lines . for years now." In an interview on All Things Considered , filmmaker Dan Reed says that two different threads drew him to telling the two men's stories. "It's the complexity that drew me into wanting to really tell the story," Reed says, "which is that in an abusive pedophile relationship there is both love, affection, mentoring, friendship, caring — and there is sexual abuse. Those two things coexist." March 14, 2019: Louis Vuitton backs off its Michael Jackson-inspired designs. Less than two weeks after Leaving Neverland airs on HBO, the luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton seeks distance from the late pop icon, whose signature looks had helped inspire much of its fall 2019 menswear collection. The company had showcased the collection at a show on Jan. 17, or just over a week before the documentary was screened publicly for the first time at the Sundance Film Festival. In a statement shared exclusively with WWD, the company's top executives said they were unaware of the documentary — and its "deeply troubling and disturbing" allegations — at the time of their own show. "I am aware that in light of this documentary the show has caused emotional reactions," Virgil Abloh, the artistic director of menswear at the company, said in the statement. "I strictly condemn any form of child abuse, violence or infringement against any human rights." The company also told WWD that it would not produce anything that "directly features Michael Jackson elements," and that its final collection will "purely reflect the true values of the brand and of our artistic director." Additional reporting by NPR's Elizabeth Blair and Colin Dwyer . Correction March 8, 2019. This article originally misidentified James Safechuck as one of those who testified in Michael Jackson's defense during his 2005 trial — he did not. We have also clarified that Safechuck claims to have lied in a statement given in the 1993 investigation, while Wade Robson claims to have lied during his testimony in the 2005 trial.

Repairing a Stuck Door Knob Lock. A door knob lock is expected to work flawlessly every single time it is used. For it to get stuck or simply not fasten can cause a serious security risk, depending on where the door is located. There are a number of reasons why a door knob lock can fail and get stuck. The most common is that the oil inside the door knob lock is old and has seized, causing the lock to catch. Another common cause is that the screws on the door knob are loose. This can cause a slight void inside the door knob lock, which can also cause it to catch and get stuck. These are all problems you can repair yourself. Step 1 - Simple Before Complicated. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best solution. Before going through the trouble of removing the entire door knob simply attempt to jiggle the door knob. Use a little force and, with any luck, the door knob lock will dislodge itself. If the latch does pop free then the problem is most likely that the door knob is loose. When you wiggle the door knob pay attention to the metal plate surrounding it. If it moves up and down that can also confirm the door knob is loose. Use the Philips head screwdriver and begin tightening the screws on the door knob. You will find some on the knob itself on older doors. Check the circular plate and tighten the screws located there. Open the door and look at the latch plate to make sure it is centered and tighten the screws. Step 2 - Remove the Door Knob. In order to fix a stuck door knob lock that is not a problem of the latch catching you will need to remove the door knob. On older doors you will need to remove the screws in the door knob near the plate. They are small and easy to miss. Once the screws are removed you can take off the door knob by pulling it straight off the post. You can grip the other door knob and pull to remove the entire assembly. On newer doors you need to remove the screws from the face plate or the circular plate around the door knob. Use the flat head screwdriver to gently pry the plate from the door. You can now remove the door knob assembly. Step 3 - Stuck Door Knob Lock. Now that the door knob assembly is removed you can take a good look at the internal components. Push on the latch to move the internal components. You will see how the door knob lock works and can then use the rag to wipe down the internal components. Use a pen to test the turning mechanism. Add lubrication and use this method to distribute it. Replace the door knob. Replacing knobs and calling locksmiths can be costly. Now you have the knowhow to repair your stuck door knob lock this time, and any other time it may happen. Lock Blog. A resource for consumers, locksmiths, and security professionals. Door Knob Turns But Won’t Open? How To Fix Jammed and Stuck Locks. Posted On April 4, 2018 by Ralph. There are a lot small specific problems that you can encounter with your lock. You almost always know what is wrong, though you may need proper diagnoses to know how to go about fixing the issue. Look for your issue below, and see if you can’t find your solution. My Door Knob Turns But Won’t Open. A door knob, or door handle, uses a spring-loaded latch. The turning of the handle retracts the latch by pulling on the spring and compressing it. In the resting state of the lock, the spring is extended. When the door knob is locked, the handle will not turn, which keeps the latch from retracting. This is all to say that, when your door knob turns but won’t open, the issue is with you handle not properly interacting with the spring in the latch. How to fix a stuck door latch will vary, because the issues can vary, but you first need to get the door open. As these locks are the kind that would be used on an interior door, you may find it helpful to read about how to get back into a locked bedroom. If this lock is on an exterior door, just be sure that any other of your locks are open before addressing the door knob that turns but won’t open. To fix the door knob figure out where the connections have gone awry: Take the handles/knobs off of the door. Remove the handles, including the thru spindle. Use a tool (a flathead screwdriver will work) to twist within the gap the thru spindle inserts into. See if this retracts the handle. If the latch retracts, then the handles are not secured to the thru spindle properly. You will need to address that connection. The problem might be with the spindle, the handles themselves, or the pressure that keeps them in solid contact with one another. Check for wear on all of these parts and replace what is damaged. If there is no damage, make sure that the handles are secured to the door with enough pressure so that their turning manipulates the spindle. If the latch does not retract, there is something wrong with the latch housing. Chances are there is something wrong with the spring or some other small component. It is unlikely that such fine-tuned part replacement and diagnosis will be feasible for most people. You can simply replace the whole latch housing and keep your handles/door knobs. When a door knob turns but won’t open, there is a good chance you will be doing some replacing. Just be sure to isolate the issue before committing to a solution. Door Lock Stuck in Open Position. With your door lock stuck in unlocked the position, your home can be made vulnerable. The solutions and severity of this issue will differ depending on what type of lock it is. The most pressing will be when your deadbolt door lock is stuck in the open position because your deadbolt provides the real security for a building. When it comes to discovering exactly what is going wrong you can look at a couple different factors and how they might be influencing your situation. If you have an older lock, you might find that the bolt or internals have rusted into position or otherwise been gummed up. The key may be worn or damaged so it will not work in the cylinder. Just check to see if a different key will work, or if the thumbturn (if one exists) actuates the bolt. The lock cylinder may be broken so that you cannot use your key or anything else to move your door lock into the locked position. The door could be misaligned so that, although the door can be “locked” while the door is ajar when closed the door cannot lock. There are some solutions for a broken lock that work in many different instances. Between those fixes, the four main issues that are outlined above can be pretty well sorted. This is an extremely dangerous situation, as your security will be limited until the issue is resolved. Deadbolt Lock Stuck in Locked Position. When a deadbolt lock is stuck in the locked position, this is very similar to when you have a door lock stuck in the open position. It will have the same basic diagnosis methods as what is listed above. I will list them again just in case you jumped to this section. If you have an older lock, you might find that the bolt or internals have rusted into position or otherwise been gummed up. The key may be worn or damaged so it will not work in the cylinder. Just check to see if a different key will work, or if the thumbturn (if one exists) actuates the bolt. The lock cylinder may be broken so that you cannot use your key or anything else to move your door lock into the unlocked position. The door could be misaligned so that, although the door can be “unlocked” while the door is ajar when closed the door cannot unlock. The same solutions apply to when you are solving the issue with most broken locks. But where you may have broken your own lock with too much force, when a lock is jammed in the locked position, it often has to do with wear. Items are getting hung up on one another so they cannot retract properly. This is also quite an issue because you cannot get your door open as easily as you could with a door knob that has broken. A deadbolt is not spring loaded, so you need the lock to actuate in order for it to open. You might need to really finagle the lock after taking it apart in order to get the lock out of the door to even get it open. I Got My Door Knob Lock Button Stuck. The lock button is something relatively specific to interior door handles. Very often this is a very simple problem to solve. A door knob lock button stuck has a few quick fixes that you can try out. Start by trying to push the lock button. Push and hold the button in. Release the button quickly (try sliding your finger off the button so the pressure is maintained up until the precise moment of release with no backing off). If that does not solve the issue, depress the lock button rapidly (do this like an arcade video game button). If the door knob lock button is still stuck, try turning the handle while experimenting with the ways you are pressing the button. Jiggle the handle more vigorously (fast, though not with too much force) if you are not getting results. This is for when the door lock button is stuck in, as this is often the most common type of door button sticking. If the door lock button is stuck out, keeping you from pressing it in, jiggling the handle and moving the door is likely to shake the jammed parts together. If you cannot get the lock button unstuck with simple jiggling and the door is locked, have no fear, you should still be able to get the door open. Sometimes the lock button being stuck is endemic of the latch bolt freezing, so you might not be able to take advantage of spring loaded latch through the gap between the door and the frame. Taking the lock of the door is often simpler than it would be to take a deadbolt or exterior door knob lock of the door. First off, if you can see and interact with the stuck lock button, you will be able to address the set screws or twist-off rose. Take the latch and knob off of the door and clean them. More likely than not, this lock has just been gummed up or rusted. Chances are, it does not need to be fully replaced. If you cannot clean the lock properly, or to the extent you feel comfortable with, replace it entirely. Final Thoughts. If you cannot solve your issue do not hesitate to call a locksmith. Fixing your problem yourself is not always the best possible avenue for addressing your door lock. How much a locksmith costs will vary depending on the work you need, but prices should be competitive, so just be sure to look for the right locksmith for you. Jackson breaks his foot. Pop legend Michael Jackson has broken his foot just days before he is due to speak at the famous Oxford Union, it has been revealed. But the Thriller superstar promised fans the injury would not stop him making his one-off child welfare speech at the university debating chamber. Multi-millionaire Jackson fractured the bone in a fall at his home, the Neverland Valley Ranch in California. He is now resting with his right leg in plaster up to the knee. The singer's special appearance, scheduled for next Tuesday, is to launch his global initiative for children, Heal the Kids. Jackson, 42, who is famed for his Moonwalk dance, said: 'I am determined to speak at the Oxford Union despite my injury. 'The message of Heal The Kids is far too important to me to allow a broken foot to keep me from this commitment.' He added: 'Heal The Kids is about making a difference and trying to help adults and parents realise that it is in our power to change the world that our children live in.' More than 20,000 people have applied to see Jackson, making it the most popular appearance by a guest speaker in the union's 178-year history. He will be joined by his mentor, former Oxford University Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who is the president and co-founder of the Heal The Kids initiative. They will be introduced by their friend, the psychic Uri Geller. During his stay in Britain, father-of-two Jackson is scheduled to attend the official book launch in London of Confessions of a Rabbi and a Psychic, a collection of letters between Rabbi Boteach and Uri Geller, on March 5. He will be best man when Uri Geller and his wife renew their wedding vows, a ceremony at which Rabbi Boteach will officiate. Jackson will them make an appearance at the 10th annual Michael Jackson Day at the London Apollo in Hammersmith, west London, on March 7.
