Audio recordings detailing pop icon Michael Jackson‘s ‘intimate’ thoughts on children will be revealed in a new docuseries.
The unearthed tapes were secured for a four-part Channel 4 series called The Trial, which is set to premiere in the UK on February 4.
It will detail new revelations from the pop icon‘s 2005 child molestation trial.
In one particularly chilling clip obtained by the New York Post, Jackson detailed his reliance on a relationship with children.
‘If you told me right now…Michael, you could never see another child…I would kill myself,’ he said.
In the trailer for the forthcoming docuseries, Jackson implied that kids naturally gravitated toward him.
‘Children want to just touch me and hug me,’ he said in one recording.
‘Kids end up falling in love with my personality,’ he added in another. ‘Sometimes it gets me into trouble.’
An insider told the Post: ‘There is something extremely unusual and eerie about Michael Jackson’s infatuation with children.
‘To hear his voice discuss children in this manner, given he had been accused on molestation, raises many questions about his mental health, mindset and sadly, intentions.
‘This is Michael at his most open, giving us an insight into how he was in love with children… infatuated with wanting to be around them.’
Jackson admitted to allowing children into his home and even into his bed without parental supervision.
His former public relations advisor revealed in the series that he ‘absolutely’ believed the allegations against the popstar, reported the Telegraph.
‘I believe there was a cover-up for so many years,’ he said.
