Shocking unearthed audio recordings of Michael Jackson that reveal his creepy fixation with children will be revealed in a new television docuseries, according to New York Post.
In one disturbing tape, the late King of Pop confesses that if he was denied being close to children, he would commit suicide. “If you told me right now … Michael, you could never see another child … I would kill myself,” he says.
The never-before-published audio footage can be heard in the new four-part British series The Trial, covering the “Thriller” singer’s 2005 child molestation court proceedings.
Footage will also show Jackson, who openly confessed to sharing a bed with underage children, playing with kids on the grounds of his notorious Neverland Ranch in California.
The tapes also feature Michael, who died of acute propofol intoxication in 2009 at 50, remarking, “Kids end up falling in love with my personality. Sometimes it gets me into trouble.”

The show documents the 2005 trial that focuses on Michael’s friendship with cancer survivor pal Gavin Arvizo, who accused him of sexual abuse.
Jackson was cleared of all 14 charges lodged against him, including four counts of molesting a child, four counts of getting a child drunk so that he could molest him, and of secretly conspiring to hold Arvizo, then 13, and his family captive at the ranch in 2003.
Their close relationship was laid bare in another TV documentary, Living With Michael Jackson, which triggered the investigation and featured Michael holding hands with Arvizo and defending giving his bed to kids.
One insider said, “To hear his voice discuss children in this manner, given he had been accused of molestation, raises many questions about his mental health, mindset and, sadly, intentions.”

In a motion filed on Sept. 15, two accusers who frolicked with Michael at Neverland are seeking $400 million in damages from his estate, alleging sexual abuse, per People.
Wade Robson, 43, said in 2013 that Michael sexually abused him for seven years, starting when he was 7 in 1990. James Safechuck, 47, claimed Michael started abusing him in 1988 when he was 10, and continued until 1992. Their case is pending.

A third alleged victim, Frank Cascio, 46, and his siblings allegedly threatened to go public with abuse claims against Jackson, saying he forced them to “hide” on the ranch so his lawyer would not know they were staying with him, New York Post reported.

The declarations came after the Michael Jackson Company submitted court papers in July, alleging the Cascios were attempting a “civil extortion scheme.”
