Michael Jackson has again been accused of being a child sex predator as the ten year anniversary of his death approaches.
But the lawyer who helped exonerate the King of Pop during the gruelling 2005 trial is negating the allegations, arguing the MeToo movement has given rise to false accusations.
Adrian McManus, a former maid who spent years working for Michael Jackson, doubled down on previous allegations she made in an interview with DailyMailTV during an appearance on 60 Minutes on Sunday night.
'I saw what I saw,' she said. 'Michael kissing on him. Michael's hands kind of very close to Jordy's crotch. It was terrible to see.'
Ms McManus was referring to Jordan Chandler, the 13-year-old boy who first accused Jackson of sexual misconduct during sleepovers at Neverland.

McManus' claims come in the wake of the release of Leaving Neverland - an HBO documentary detailing Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck's (pictured with the singer) allegations of long term abuse by Jackson
Jackson's lawyer Tom Mesereau says the timely accusations are nothing more than a way for 'opportunists to make a quick buck' spurred along by the MeToo movement
Jordan and his family received a $20million settlement but Jackson's estate never admitted any guilt or wrongdoing. He vehemently denied the accusations.
Ms McManus said there is no doubt in her mind that Jackson abused Jordan, among others.
'They were sitting on his lap. I just saw a lot of fondling. Him maybe rubbing his hands in kids' hair, kissing them,' she said of another child.
'Petting the kids… kind of by the rear end.
'I didn't think it was appropriate because they're not his children... I just didn't think it was right.'
Michael Jacobshagen was a star-struck 12-year-old when he claims he first landed himself on Michael Jackson's radar.
After a brief interaction, he claims the superstar began bombarding him with love letters and that he was eventually invited to the Neverland Ranch.
He told Channel Seven's Sunday Night program the pair often watched Peter Pan and would spend time in the Jacuzzi.
Often, he said, Jackson was naked during these interactions.
He also claims Jackson would invite him to strip down as well but that he never felt comfortable to do so.

From 1990, McManus spent four years as Jackson's personal maid - one of just a few staff to have access to the star's bedroom, bathroom and secret chambers
Ms McManus started work at Jackson's Neverland Ranch in 1990, and after three months was trusted to clean his private suite
Jackson's lawyer Tom Mesereau said the timely accusations are nothing more than a way for 'opportunists to make a quick buck' spurred along by the MeToo movement.
'Some of these accusers have not just change their story slightly - they have done a 180... before you can defend yourself, you are almost judged guilty. We're going a little too far I think right now and a lot of people on this particular movement are trying to capitalise,' he said.
Another staffer, Neverland security guard Melanie Bagnall, corroborated elements of Ms McManus claims.
She said she once saw 'a child sitting on his lap and he had his hands close to the boy's genitalia. Like, cupping his genitalia,' she said.
