Michael Jackson allegedly married one of the boys he is accused of raping in a ceremony held in the King of Pop's bedroom, according to the new HBO documentary Leaving Neverland.
James Safechuck says that he was just 10 years old when he and Jackson, then 30, held a mock ceremony, while also showing off some of the pricey jewelry he received from the singer.
'I was really into jewelry at that time and he would reward me with jewelry for doing sexual acts to him,' explains Safechuck in a preview for the documentary.
'He would say that I need to sell him some so I could earn the gift.'
