Michael Jackson's children have vowed to clear the child molestation allegations against the singing sensation.
The late 'Thriller' hitmaker's son Prince and daughter Paris want to take the witness stand to speak up for their dad in the multi-million-dollar civil action against his estate, the Daily Star reported.
Jackson's family friend said that Prince and Paris would refuse to believe that their father was guilty of anything more than trying to be a father figure to lonely kids.
Notably, James Safechuck, former child actor claimed that he was molested more than 100 times by the late American singer after they appeared together in a Pepsi ad in 1988 when he was 8-years-old and also Wade Robson an Australian-born choreographer, claimed that he was just 7 when the King of pop began preying on him.
Safechuck also said that Jackson held a mock wedding ceremony with the youngster as his bride and shared a bed for at least a year, but never touched him inappropriately.
Mitchell Beckloff, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge will decide next month whether to allow both the alleged abuse victims to proceed with their lawsuits or not as they missed a statutory deadline by filing their claims more than a year after the star died, aged 50, in 2009.
Beckloff has although indicated he could likely to allow the actions against Jackson's estate worth in excess of 1 billion pounds to proceed next month.
