A new US legal team representing choreographer Wade Robson is planning to fly to Australia to interview Michael Jackson sexual abuse victims or witnesses to any of the late pop star's acts.
Brisbane-born Mr Robson has waged a three-year battle in the Los Angeles Superior Court after making the shock announcement he had been abused by the self-described King of Pop from the age of seven through to 14.
Mr Robson, 33, has filed a civil lawsuit against Jackson's business entities, MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures.
A trial, where Mr Robson will give evidence, is scheduled for March.
"We will, in all likelihood, be going to Australia," Mr Robson's new lead lawyer, John Manly, told AAP on Thursday.
"This case is a worldwide case and we will be doing some travelling.
"Most people don't know that even though they were abused in Australia, Britain or Morocco or wherever, they have a right to seek counsel in the US against a corporation.
"Mr Jackson is dead and you can't sue him or his estate, but his corporation is alive and well."
Mr Robson was a five-year-old dance prodigy in Australia when he was befriended by Jackson.
He was Jackson's star witnesses at the King of Pop's 2005 molestation trial in California, swearing under oath Jackson never abused him.
But Mr Robson said it was not until Jackson's 2009 death and the birth of his own son he understood he had been abused.
"Michael Jackson was an incredible musician, an incredible dancer, he changed music and the music business, and he is also a pedophile," Mr Manly said.
Mr Manly, who has led a legal crusade against the Catholic Church and other sexual abusers the past 20 years and has collected more than $US1 billion for victims, said most male survivors deny they were abused for years.
"What happened to Wade is what I'll call survivor 101," Mr Manly said.
Mr Manly is requesting Jackson's estate release other Jackson victims from confidentiality agreements they signed as a condition of large monetary settlements.
"The standard of proof is we have to prove the corporation knew or had reason to know that Mr Jackson was a pedophile before or during the time he was abusing Wade," he said.
"I want to go to the people responsible, the corporate officials and others involved who knew and did nothing - the people who stood by and watched those children be walked into that bedroom.
"There were many.
"It wasn't just Wade.
"I also want victims to know it is safe to talk.
"You will be protected."
Robson was one of the world's best known dance choreographers, working with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, had his own show on MTV and was a judge on America's So You Think You Can Dance.
But Mr Manly said Mr Robson has been unable to work since coming to terms with his abuse.
"When you fully come to grips with the fact you were raped as a child, let me assure you after going through this thousands of times, it's earth-shattering," Mr Manly said.
"You don't just get over it.
