MICHAEL Jackson allegedly wed one of the little boys he is accused of raping in a ceremony held in the singer’s bedroom, it’s claimed.
In the new explosive documentary Leaving Neverland, James Safechuck says he was aged 10 when 30-year-old Jacko “married” him — complete with vows and a diamond ring.

The extraordinary claim is made in two part documentary, which is being shown on HBO tonight and tomorrow, and on Channel 4 on Wednesday and Thursday.
Safechuck, 40, along with Wade Robson, 36, claim the superstar entertainer horribly abused them while they were small boys and they have revealed harrowing details of their alleged ordeal.
In the documentary Safechuck claimed the mock wedding took place a year after he met Jackson on the set of a Pepsi ad.
Safechuck said: “So we were like this married couple
“We did this in his bedroom and we filled out some vows like we would be bonded forever. It felt good. “And the ring is nice.
“It has a row of diamonds. The wedding ring.”
Holding a Rolex ring up to the the camera, he shows how he struggles to get it on his adult finger.
The ceremony happened in Jackson’s LA apartment which the singer dubbed as the “Hideout”.
Safechuck said from then on the King of Pop would lavish him with jewellery.
He alleged: “I was really into jewellery at that time and he would reward me with jewellery for doing sexual acts to him.
“He would say that I need to sell him some so I could earn the gift.
“We would go buy them at jewellery stores and we would pretend they were for someone else.
“Like for a female, but he would pretend like my small hand would fit for whatever female we were buying it for.”
Jackson, who died in 2009 of a drug overdose, strongly denied all allegations of sexual abuse made against him.
His estate has vehemently denounced the documentary.
It attacks the credibility of Robson and Safechuck, as well as the filmmaker for not including other voices who knew Jackson.
